Is there a way to turn off food decay?

me and my partner have been building on a survial type world (if that makes sense) in creative since we want to build a load of towns and cities just for fun and storytelling but I've run into a problem when making things like butchers and bakeries where naturally in the game mechanics all the food I place down to look like stock etc spoils!

I wanted to know if anyone knows how to turn off food spoilage or if its even possible? even with mods we would love anything! we know we can pause time but we do like having time progress as we build around otherwise the world feels a bit lifeless and having weather and seasons cycle is really nice!

(I would chisel food for the appearance but I've been chiseling buildings and stained glass windows i really don't want to chisel food 🙏🙏)
