Because time does not stop because you got a phone call.

Just like real life, you digest food even when you're asleep.

In XIV it's been like this since 2.0 alpha, and I think it was that way in 1.0.

Everything on your character advances even if you log off. Less bloat for servers.

Ur character popped it all out and got hungry again while u talked on the phone.

I'd suggest NEVER EVER answering the phone again it's just not worth the final fantasy Gil costs of food. In fact you should just go and throw your phone in the bin right now!!!!

because the food timer is tied to the server. say if you eat and start out with 30 minutes and then log out for 15 minutes and come back you should have 15 minutes left.

Ya, except for beneficial things, like regeneration of GP.

Because if the food timer persisted at it's current point when you logged out or went afk, all the Culinarians would sell too little food to survive. Then they couldn't raise the gil to buy food or materials and would slowly starve to death themselves. Do you want the chefs of the world to die of starvation? Do you?

I would'nt give SE that much credit when it comes to little things like this. Its probably because of the same reason why when we click a quest we have to dismount. Or when we have to dismiss our companion before we can queue for a duty. There's still a bit of clunk left in the system that they've slowly been working out since release, so hopefully we'll get there eventually.

Interesting, cuz in ffxi buffs that persisted from zoning (pro/shell/food) actually were saved when logging
