I forgot my coords. ;)
It helps, but perhaps too much if you don't have to worry about food ever again.
The lag part didn't cross my mind yet... :o

So, I very much enjoy the part of minecraft where you might be having a 'hard' time getting food, or at least have to 'work' for it.
However, the sheer amount of 'magic meat' you're handed whenever voting pretty much trivializes the whole concept of growing/harvesting crops and animals. Also, steak (magic meat) is about the best food there is, and you get it for free.

I feel the vote 'foods' should be toned down a lot. Hand out less of it and/or make it a lesser kind of food, for example bread or rotten meat.

Discuss..? Cheers!
