About
You Took My Only Food. Now I'm Gonna Starve is a catchphrase, image macro, and object labeling meme featuring Patrick Star from the children's cartoon SpongeBob SquarePants. The meme shows a fatter, lumpier Patrick saying that catchphrase while looking angry with chocolate around his mouth. The meme is typically used to joke about corporate greed or poke fun at someone considered overly demanding.
