I've never had the desire to worry about force feeding myself to preserve stat food.
I still use stat food (MTPs and QATs) and don't have a problem with consuming them and buying more.
I do plan on getting my skills high enough to make them myself, but at this time, I don't have a problem with buying them from others.
If I ever made that food for the Aid Gremmel quest -- then I might change my mind about force feeding
