Food should eventually ONLY be craft ressources to create meals that gives you small bonuses for a day while supply packs should be NECESSARY to long rest.
If they don't change the system... better remove it entirely.
Having to eat doesnt make the world feel alive at all to me... it is (currently) a (useless) gameplay mechanic, not a cosmetic one.
It would be a shame not to improve the system as a whole and simply allowing players to take food automatically from the chest would just make the entire system even less meaningfull.
"We have decided that you should eat food but there are food everywhere and you can magically teleport it and magically take it from the chest ! We've created a mechanic that's so easy to manage that you should not be annoyed too much ! You'd just have to make a few more clicks... hope you'll enjoy because eating in video games for the sake of it is so cool !"
