Why does food not stack to 99?

[TypeZ]

Almost everything was changed from stacking to 12 to stacking to 99. Except for food. Why is this? I'm getting so much food from gathering leves (which must suck for CULs) that I don't know what to do with it all. I am going to have to open a stall in the grocer's ward or even NPC it. I'm not sure giving more food than one can use is a good idea, especially when it doesn't even stack to 99.

Ugg... too much WOW nerds here. GTFO game is already easy what more u want?
