Losing food when you reload sucks

if i fight a boss and die i lose all the food i used during the fight that means half of this game is picking apples and cooking. oh you used stamina tea to get across the water but it didnt work and you drowned? no more tea for you go grind more resources. im fed up with grinding food items.

also its just LAME i dont want to eat 30 full meals in a fight it makes no sense why not just make it potions?
