I don't see why this would be bad thing to add

Starvation damage can be really confusing for other players just seeing it and wondering why this guy is just dying, so this would be great for that - On the other hand, how often does this really come up?

I've no issues with this being implemented though it doesn't change a whole lot.

Sure - yeah. you're starving, though there's not really a clear way to see that other than bluntly telling the nearest person.

A lot.. I constantly find myself starving with the strange mechanic then have to go find MREs

Sorry forgot to reply to this here

This suggestion aims at using those new health indicators to add starving as a status. It could work like “Injured | Starving” if there is multiple things that could go there. Or it could simply display “starving” above the head

Sure. Useful to know if they are slowly dying via bleeding out or starvation.

Could be instead: Injured (Starving) e.g. Injured (Bleeding, Starving)

I don't see why you couldn't just tell someone you're starving but sure I guess no real problems with it

Nah.
It says on the players screen that they're starving.

You can't really trust random people to be able to read when it counts, honestly.

Plus, it makes sense from a realism perspective - There are people who are unable to tell when they are and aren't starving for whatever reasons and get confused when that causes them harm from seemingly nowhere. And often it's the people around them that have to let them know that they're probably hungry and should eat.

A similar concept could translate here.
