The notion of objects of need

An object of need is the object that best meets your need and reduces your inner ŧension. If the need is hunger, the object of need is food.

But what sort of food will best meet your need? When we are very hungry, any kind of food is will do. When we are less hungry and have the ability to sense our feelings, once we have sufficient language skills we can examine how we feel and give a detailed description of the kind of food we would like right now. Three hours later, we would probably want a different kind of food to fulfil our need at that time.
