Actually I imagine it as when you lose one population, there's more supplies for the survivors and so, Morale boost!
Well, then, this is a day I'll feel good to be me.

As a matter of strategy, it seems better to conserve nigh-unrecoverable resources and spend cards, since the decks get regularly shuffled. Avoiding a Morale loss - that, AFAIK, can only have 1 point added once in a game, IF Zarek is in play - is a good thing.
Especially since the results of the loyalty card check will always be suspect, and that comes with the Morale-loss price.
Passing is painless; it just uses cards.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I have COs: Zarek plays 1 card. Helo, you're up next.

A quick discussion of the resources:
Population is the resource most at risk from Cylon attacks, and is fairly often placed at risk by Crisis Cards too. I believe it's the most common way for the Cylons to win the game.
Morale is the resource most often put at risk by Crisis Cards. I think it's second in frequency to Population of ending the game. There are 4 Quorum cards that offer a chance to raise Morale by 1 (via a die roll).
Fuel will decline as you make FTL jumps, but is generally ok unless the Admiral is a Cylon. However, if you start losing Fuel for non-jump reasons, it can become an issue.
Food is mostly put at risk by Shortages, which are President's Choice. It pretty uncommon to lose on Food, but not impossible.

:: Wow, it's strange, Boomer seems kind of vague on the whole evac thing. But I can't quite figure it out. Not sure if it's the radiation, or the anti-radiation pills, either way, my head isn't thinking as clearly as it should. Thankfully there are a good supply of the pills, they don't seem to be running out as fast as I thought with two of us. Boomer sure is looking fine. Damn it! Gotta stop thinking like that. Chief will kick my ASS! ::

Helo isn't thinking clearly because the blood is running away from his brain, so to speak.
