Meanwhile, certain riff-raff among the people had an insatiable appetite for food. As a result, they wept and turned back, and the Israelis cried out, "If only somebody would feed us some meat!

but now we have lost our appetite. There is nothing at all except this manna to look at."

That's why the place was named Kibroth-hattaavah, because they buried the people there who had an insatiable appetite for meat.
