Well,
I have never had any Problems with the amount of food, so i usually think this as just one more useless mechanic since it has not impacted my game apart from cluttering my inventory and using up weight limit.
Turnig it on/off would be nice. Removing it from the game would have no real impact imo.
My other suggestion would be the possibility to store all that stuff where it belongs. in the camp. I have used "send to camp" and put it in my travellers chest but then i could not access it in the "choose food" window.
My main hope is to have it out of my inventory.
I know that was made to keep it in game but remove the healing effect. So compromise and give food a "well fed" effect that gives a little bonus like recovering some HP over time out of combat.
