How do I do something each time the character eats?

[PhasmaFelis]

I would like to make a mod that, every time you eat, briefly displays the food's hunger/health/sanity values. (I want to be able to figure out exact values more easily, but the Display Food Values mod seems a bit too easy for me.) Any suggestions on where to begin? Is there an existing mod that performs some action upon eating that I could examine for ideas?

-- inst is the player instance
-- use GetPlayer() if you don't already have a reference to it
inst:ListenForEvent("oneat", function(inst, data)
    -- data.food contains the food's instance

    -- Example on how to get stats
    local hunger = data.food.components.edible:GetHunger(inst)
    -- Check the the edible component for more functions
end)

Just use the 'always on' status mod -

it shows the numerical value of your current hunger, sanity, etc.

When you eat, you can see the numerical increase. (eg change from 50 to 83 for example)
