I like to decorate the FC house for seasonal events. This includes using the lovely event food-item furnishings that SE provides. Problem arises when players (especially new ones because they don't know any better) use the food items.
This wouldn't be much of an issue if they were normal crafted food items but, they aren't. Once said event is over, you can no longer obtain the consumable furnishings unless you want to pay $5 in the cash shop next year.
If you're going to charge $5 for a furnishing that can be "ruined"; please add a toggle to turn off use of the items.
