the food and drink system

Can we all agree this needs to be massively overhauled/rebalanced? Like it seems to be going in the wrong direction in my opinion, I've been playing and watching since alpha 14 and it seems to get worse instead of better. Like if you're drinking something out of a mason jar or other jar texture theoretically it should be pretty hydrating and yet it's not. Heck, even the food doesn't really feed you all that much or even debuff you like it should when you go over your hunger in here. I'd love to hear y'all's opinion on this

I don't see a problem with the amount that food and water hydrate or feed you.  In the early game, you do need a lot more but that's because you're normally using low quality food or drink.  By mid game, you're drinking mineral water and eating spaghetti and other high quality food and don't have to eat or drink very often because of that.  It isn't realistic but it is a game and so there's no need for realism.

I see where you're coming from but a can should feed you more than it does just like an egg should feed you a bit less

There will be 2 opinions about the survival aspect of this game for all time. And the only solution would be:

Insert an option for "Survivalist mode" where just surviving is @%$#ing challenging, and in standard mode you do it on the fly.

For standard game the point is: There is still much too much food and drinks and in A20 and also in A21 it is a problem for the first... 10 days? After that it is no big deal to feed yourself, only a question of "taking food and drinks with you" or do it in your base to save inventory space.

For me... in a world like this it should be hard as @%$# to find a meal or drink that satisfy you by 100%. And i repeat myself but: This all is reasoned by nuclear incident so make it all radiated. Being radiated should be bad. And also make areas radiated, so you need to find armor to resist it, just my thoughts
