Make each hunger bar worth the same amount, currently the early bars are worth less than the later bars for no reason.
It adds nothing more to the game and just serves to make the interface more confusing for newbies.

Well, it does serve a purpose - making it more difficult to stay healthy and well-fed.
What would you replace it with? We're sort of running out of terms for "Hungry", adding a new one wouldnt add much and I'd really rather not see Starving or Stuffed take up more room.

Right now we have what, 4 bars
Overstuffed can stay as it is
Full can be 75%-100%
Hungry 50-75%
Starving 25%-50%
Almost dead 0%-25%
Each one of these would be one of the many multi colored bars we currently have, it serve to make it more intuitive and easier for newbies to grasp.

The bars are fine with me but the amount of food you must eat increasing as you're hungrier shouldn't.

That is because of how the bars work.

The different stages aren't equivalent, though. For each step below "Full", you regenerate stamina slower; below "Hungry", you stop regenerating SHP; and below "Very Hungry" (i.e. on "Starving), you start taking HHP damage. So they do have a meaning.

Would it really do all that much harm if these effects were moved over to the 4 I suggested?
