It used to be you couldn't rest in the spider den, but it appears you can rest in there again. There are so many supply packs everywhere and at vendors.
Honestly, I think ONLY supply packs should be used for rests. The food can still be in the game but just for immersion and world building and have no value outside of selling to vendors for small gp.
Larian has said later levels will require more resources to rest, but we don't know what kind of scale they're using. As it stands, you have so many rests and nothing is addressed or said as time elapses.
ETA: When I watch people play this game, many of them are unloading almost all their spells in a single combat and just long resting after with no penalty. Moreover, there isn't even anything addressed in the story. And some events are triggered to happen on the next long rest.
