Why did God create bread and hunger?

He created bread so that we would have some idea of what the Son of God is like when he says, "I am the bread of life". And he created the rhythm of thirst and satisfaction so that we would have some idea of what faith in Christ is like when Jesus said, "He who believes in me shall never thirst". -John Piper in A Hunger For God

"God is most glorified in us, when we are most satisfied in Him"

I wonder, O how I wonder, have I completely missed the point?

When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, “Who then can be saved?”

Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
