This character is based on the radical for food :
.
It literally means feed
me
-- a fitting sign for hunger. Another character for hunger is
,
literally: little
food
simplified to
, i.e., food
on
small table
. Although hunger is no respecter of persons, "Even a hungry person will
refuse food offered in contempt."
