I always thought it was a bad idea as the only sane approach from a player perspective it to automate it away:

Have your client trawl whatever item he sees and database them, do some 'big data' on it to find the sweet spots (aka. developer oversights), feast that stuff and drink to desatinate as if there's no tomorrow (with a pinch of salt, or a wagonload in case it's available). Rinse and repeat with every fix that is thrown at it.

It would make a little sense in case food would debuff itself, or at least buff other areas - but as it is it feels pointless and like a waste of electrons.

General idea of satiations is ok, but I think current implementation is a bit too arbitrary with the 4 satiations under 50% rule and drinks restoring specific few satiations. And the annoying number crunching.
I would prefer some more natural system where simply eating food of one type always slightly lowers satiation of associated food group and raises all other groups. And with drinks slowly averaging satiations (that is bringing high ones down and vice versa).

I also don't like, in the current system, those weird, arbitrary cases where foods lower completely unrelated satiations or aren't affected by any satiations they lower (boiled mussels for example)
