I think that is probably fine. It's a better solution than short rest spam after every single encounter. It's not like you really want to waste your cleric spells outside of an encounter anyway. I think abuse of food healing could very easily be solved by a "Can't eat anymore, I'm full" after you've stuffed yourself. Make it so your character is "Full" untill your next long or short rest - that could encourage a clever use of both healing magic and food HP replenishment, as long as we have a "Fullness" gauge that is visible for your character.

Yes I very much agree with that, food healing a little bit is a nice addition. It IS annoying when you need to top off your health or start short rest scumming. That said short rest healing should be limited due to 5E hit die rules. I.E you can only restore so much health over a number of short rests before you need a long rest to heal. I think the suggestions of a "fullness" gauge and limiting short rests to maybe 2 per long rest would satisfy most of us.
