Carrying food around takes weight in the inventory, and that weight is a precious resource now. Sending food items to camp is something you can do one item at a time, which is such a 90's style UI thing.
Once again, that's not an issue introduced with this patch and it's also more of an issue with how shitty inventory management is in this game in general than with what this update introduced.
If you want to argue that the UI in most Larian games is often garbage be my guest and you'll learn that you won't meet much opposition on my part, but when the solution suggested is "Remove any resource management whatsoever" you won't find my sympathy.
Do you want a solution to both problems? Here's one: let's have a WHOLE LOT less food (and, as we are on it, less of everything, really) hanging around in general. And less containers, and less shit. And items that actually stack. In this way you'll see that you wont' have to worry about how much weight you are carrying.
"You HAVE to pick ALL the junk to afford rest" is a spurious claim, when I already pointed that without even being particularly fastidious about looting everything in the game I ended up having enough "supplies" for 40 long rests.
And that's without even accounting for the fact that supplies are on sales from several merchants, if REALLY needed for whatever reasons.
