Dude. You can already feed your character once a day yourself. Role Play in your head that you need to eat at least once a day and do that. You act as if the feature isn't already there. Just pop a fruit in your character's face yourself.
We don't want the game to tell us we need to feed ourselves. The feature is literally already there. You don't need the game to tell you that. Some of us don't want to waste a fruit a day. Considering that shaking a tree gives us three fruit. I'd only eat native fruits since they're worth less at the store. That would leave me with two fruits I don't want and a bland, fruitless tree for a few days until the fruits grow back.
The bees are acceptable because of course a hive of bees is going to fly at you if you shake their nest down. If you're unlucky enough to miss catching them, you get a nice little sting. It probably takes all of 1 minute to save, quit, and then restart your game. If you don't want to do that, buy medicine. If you don't want to do that, then walk around with a bee stung face. |: I do that when I don't want to save and quit. Once you talk to the villagers at least once they forget all about it.
There are only a handful of games that use hunger as a feature. Mainly because the thought "hey our characters should be required to eat!" is not a thought game makers have. Animal Crossing's creators did have a similar thought though: "Our characters should be able to eat fruit if the player wants!" You can eat fruit already. Make sure you feed your character once a day. Don't ask us to do the same, we don't want to.
