My answer : "toggles are nice". I wouldn't use it but, I understand the need.

Honestly, I do think there are bit too many ressources (Food, healing potions,...) made available in the game.
I would prefer an option to temper with that but (!) I would dislike having this linked to the difficulty level...unless we could customize the difficulty settings. So, even if I were in "Story/easy mode", I could choose the amount (a slider with % or a couple of options) of ressources spawning in the game.
