What’s on the menu today, pandas? Will you be making spicy tacos, a comforting lasagna or a nourishing vegetable soup for dinner? If you’re anything like me, you probably spend the entire day thinking about what you’ll eat for your next meal because you’re just so excited about what delectable creation you’ll whip up next.

And one Instagram account that certainly understands the experience of being food motivated is I Am Starving AF. This page shares hilarious and relatable screenshots from social media for anyone who’s always got snacks on their mind. So enjoy devouring this list that might make your stomach growl, and keep reading to find a conversation with Chloe and Peter, the founders of AF Media!

    To find out more about this mouthwatering Instagram account, we got in touch with the couple who runs it, Chloe and Peter. They were kind enough to have a chat with Bored Panda and share what they've been up to since we last featured I Am Starving AF about a year ago.

    "Since we last talked, we've continued to grow our platforms and have had so much fun connecting with creators and followers, old and new alike, through this really fun and honestly super wholesome community," the creators shared. "I love having different themes to connect with people over on our various pages, and on @iamstarvingaf, we've loved being able to start relationships with different local restaurants and great small food brands over the past year."

    "There are so so many different ways that people express a love of food on social media and being able to see what people are making and eating and then sharing these ideas through humor and memes has always been a super fun way to connect!"

    We were also curious about what kind of content Chloe and Peter have been sharing lately.

    "A trend I've noticed popping up more and more in the recent past is the idea of food being something that can provide comfort. Food can be a healing and therapeutic project–something to create, to learn a new recipe and explore new flavors," they shared.

    "It's a love language– cooking for people and having something that we made with our hands and our hearts to share with those in our communities. And it's a chance to connect and share an experience with people we love as we dig into a delicious meal together," the creators explained.

    Let me fry your collective noodles...I once made an entire Christmas dinner (Turkey, stuffing all the trimmings etc) in the middle of March and I'm still a free man on good terms with the authorities.

    See we used to have tools online for that sort of thing. They were even free. They all mysteriously vanished around the time the current tinker-toy-esque "lol look at the stupid AI generated stuff" AI craze started.

    "Another trend that I have LOVED seeing go away is associating eating food that tastes good with guilt– more and more we're seeing creators celebrating good food and diving into the joys of eating without feeling like we need to be apologizing for it," Chloe and Peter added.

    "There is no question that we are living in pretty strange times, there is a lot of uncertainty and stress felt by so many people across the globe. That, combined with the gloom of the cold winter months sometimes leaves people feeling a bit lost," the creators continued. "And while a really good soup recipe, of course, doesn't fix any problems, it can be something that provides comfort and warmth in a time where these things are needed."

    I'm not crazy about cooking, but I do like to bake, and the amount of vanilla extract called for in the recipe is, in my opinion, just a suggestion.

    Next, we wanted to know if running this account has changed how the creators view food at all.

    "A post we shared around the start of the new year written by Tumblr user songofsaraneth was about changing the perceptions of what a NY resolution needed to be so many people see it as a quest to do something that you don't enjoy doing– giving up something you love, challenging yourself in ways that are uncomfortable that you really don't want to do," Chloe and Peter noted.

    "And yeah, there are benefits to these kinds of resolutions, but you can ALSO fill your year with resolutions that bring you joy. The two resolutions that songofsaraneth gave examples of were Pasta Quest– eating as many different types of pasta as possible, and Fruit Adventures– buying and trying a new fruit whenever they see it and then researching it and learning as much as they can," the creators shared.

    "This inspired me to take on a new baking project every month of 2025 and teach myself to make a new type of pastry or cake that I love but never considered actually making myself," the creator continued. "My January project was Swedish Cardamom Buns. I tried a few different recipes, played around with different techniques, and honestly think that I nailed it by my third try. I shared pictures of my progress on stories and on our Threads and it was a fun way to connect with people, get tips, recipes, and inspire others to try out my fun 2025 resolution!"

    And how do Chloe and Peter decide what to post on I Am Starving AF? "We get a lot of content submitted by creators, and a lot of it is content I have found," they told Bored Panda. "We've been running these pages for YEARS, and my brain (and phone photo gallery) is a meme library at this point. When there is a theme or post that fits a day's mood, I share it! My rule of thumb is that if I find something funny or connect to it in some way, I assume our followers will too, and often they do!"

    Honestly the person who scores lowest has the best time. Because they actually got to enjoy the pie instead of trying to eat as many as possible without taking the time to savor each bite.

    Finally, we asked the creators if they have any big plans for the future of this account. "Our main focus is always @iamthirtyaf – where we post more general content for Millennials, exploring nostalgic themes as well as just what it is like being alive in 2025 as a 30 (or 40!) something," Chloe and Peter noted.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    "On @iamstarvingaf, we're all things food. On @iamemployedaf, we focus on work related themes. @iamokayaf is all things mental health, and @fearofgoingout is where we explore the antisocial introverted misanthropic aspects of our personalities," they continued. "We're active on every page every day and have a lot of fun! You can also find us on threads and Bluesky under @iamthirtyaf."

    The creators also added that they have some book plans in the works, as well as a few other projects that will be announced soon!

    We hope you're enjoying all of these memes, pandas, even if they're making your stomach growl!

    A friend from college found me after 30 years - we flirted at school but never managed to be free at the same time. We found there was a wonderful candor between two people who have each held the other person's hair while they puked. Most minor relationship issues paled in comparison.

    Grapefruit really is a pretty weird name though, there was already fruit called grapes. It's like if there was a meat called "chickenmeat" that wasn't chicken.

    To be fair, the salt likes to come off during the baking phase. Unless you add extra to combat that, then it's all gonna stay on there like you hot glued it to the bastard.

    They should sell melted cheese in packets. Not ON anything, just bits of melted cheese with that slightly melted burny toasty taste you can snack on.

    That person has their priorities straight. Food is more important than hanging around with people you're already forced to spend 8 hours with. At least it is if you're an introvert or broke.

    They actually have this. It's called Dollar Tree. Tiny little dollar-sized portions of just about everything in the grocery store. Includes 100 different condiments from mayonnaise to worecetsshrshrcshr sauce. But I don't promise fish sauce.
