Or we could flip the perspective and think that people will be using food more often now that there's no risk of prematurely losing your buffs due to a sudden case of death.

I used to avidly cook food and use it regularly, but after having a hundred too many wipes on random bits of dungeons and primals, I've more or less stopped using the stuff entirely. Drinking some Pineapple Juice and then having a Paladin pull the first four packs of Wandering Palace without Shield Oath active, then not using a single cooldown and losing aggro after the first Cure II cast (not that I'd be able to heal that <_<) begins hurting my Pineapple and Cluster supply.

I personally plan to use food more often with the next patch, at least. Sure, I'll end up using lower quantities than I did on the fateful Titan groups I ended up helping, but hey.
