Nope, I hope not. This is just as stupid and unnecessary mechanics as destroying equipment. Something like this fits in survival games, not RPGs.
I agree, although I wouldn't have put it like that.
Imo the issue is the ton of food you can pick everywhere. The food supply system is mostly useless because of this. But I ABSOLUTELY do not want to have to manage my items/inventory even more.
Only you know in the 5th edition there is a spell like create food and water. When we reach level 5 technically, any supplies should be completely useless.
