Well, I guess that any worry about having enough food looks silly now in retrospective.
I played a bit with the new patch yesterday and I noticed that I had yet to leave the druid grove (heading to the Blighted village and then goblin camp) and I found myself already carrying enough supplies for TEN full long rests.
Which is like, three times more than what I did during my entire past playthrough.
I don't think anyone is going to starve at any point in this game.
I guess it depends on how reliant you are on Long Rests for Spell Slot recupperation etc... A party of casters is more likely to want a few more Long Rests than a party mostly of fighters, Rangers, etc... I only got as far as the grove yesterday evening in Multiplayer, after following Sven's route through the door and out of the crypt. Picked up Lae'Zel, Gale & Astarion and then went to the Grove. So far, no long Rest required, but then the party composition was 1x Ranger, 1x Rogue, Lae'Zel and Shadowheart.
