@ the Anon directly above: Allow me to repost something posted by Davinel shortly, taken from the Demonic Energy article.

"Although they can survive on "starvation rations" with the spirit energy contained in normal foods, this is both unpleasant and unhealthy in the long term."

In other words, yes. They can survive on normal food. No, they do not enjoy a diet of nothing but normal food. No, it is not good for them in the long-term. Think of it as potentially leading to mal-nutrition.

How long it takes to reach that point, though, is anyone's guess. You'd have to ask KC.

@SAmaster:

My best guess would be that the absolute need for Spirit Energy may not kick in fully until they reach sexual maturity, at which point they can go out and hunt for a man themselves if they don't decide they want Daddy's D. You know, sort of like the way real world human children aren't born with the ability to run out and kill and field-dress a deer, or even with the ability to eat solid food.

Some needs/abilities just develop later.
