Until u get a permanent health increase from killing each Boss akin to Ocarina of Time for example, this game will always be a needless grind for food. Imagine playing BOTW and only having 3 hearts for the entire game and needing to eat food ALL the time to increase max stamina or health lmfao. Can u imagine how tedious that'd be? Oh right we have Valheim : D

Its dumb and adds nothing to the gameplay. Just add a thirst and hunger bar already and give out max HP upgrades for killing bosses or whatnot. Or at least make it an item u have to equip or something.
