Lol. Same. My first playthrough was much harder because I was saving food for camp. I picked up EVERYTHING, thinking I needed it to survive.

Now I sell potions. Worth more money and totally useless because cheap food well do the same thing. If they don't change this, I will be quite disappointed. At least give me some Authentic difficulty mode so I can play D&D based on strict D&D Core rules and if other players don't like Authentic Mode they can put it on Eat Rack Of Ribs as a Bonus Action and Toss Barrels Full of Water 30 ft Mode.
