Since I am seeing some people wanting strict 5e rules and ONLY 5e rules. Let's take a look at the D&D Player Handbook, on page 185 section FOOD AND WATER. It states:

"Characters who don't eat or drink suffer effects of exhaustion. Exhaustion caused by lack of food and water can't be removed until the character eats and drinks the full required amount."

I know I mentioned eating food to replenish health either during or after combat, to which some are like "NOOOOO" but according to D&D we need to consume food and water or our character get's exhausted. Thereby, technically what I said isn't entirely wrong or dumb. It may not be for combat but you still need to consume food and water.

Um... And your point here? Yes, that rule exists AND
1. People asked for adding exhaustion into play.
2. We DO consume food now during long rests.

So, right now food consumption goes according to 5e and those who wanted it to be the case are not complaining about that part anymore.

This is called "resource management" and is a part of the game. I mean, part of DnD - you plan ahead, you get prepared and you fight or you run away and return prepared next time. You DO NOT ask DM for a miraculous cure of everyone in the middle of a session just because you forgot to take enough portions with you. This is the whole point of gameplay.

Again, it's not about the lack of planning ahead. Say your fighting a really hard boss, you didn't expect it to be this hard. All of your healing option have been used. You can't do a short rest in the middle of battle but have some food. Why can't a DM allow that? What rule is there that says you can't do that?
