Personally I would be happy if the remove the food items from the game. I was pretty shocked when I saw that food healed you. Has that happened in an D&D CRPG?
Replace food with rations and have it that your need 4 rations to long rest. Now you can balance the long rest VS short rest issue and have a reason for rations to be in the game, if they must have food.
