As an extreme aside to this topic...
I just want to say... there is a part of me that has gotten a real smirk and a lot of minor enjoyment out of picking food for resting. I imagine the nights where we all sit down to dinner, and it's like:
"Okay, folks... here's dinner for tonight!" And everyone is just handed two bottles of wine each. "Drink up!"
Or the nights where each person was given a whole wheel of cheese, and nothing else, and what they do with that cheese is their own business.
These are the 'little silliness' features that I giggle at to myself, and appreciate, in a more serious game setting.
This is not to cast comment on the system itself and the issues with it - I'm not wading into that at the moment... but I did just want to mention that this little thing, small as it is, is making me smirk.
In my system, food can be kept as an additional condition, especially since it is so plentiful and non-restrictive. It can add an extra element of role-playing to it.
