OUTDATED.  A more up-to-date version of this mod is now included in Reduced Lore Friendlier Loot. Developed as part of LEGO.

No more random food in containers and enemies. You might have to actually buy some meals or hunt the wildlife for meat in famine-stricken Velen. 
Food-shaped containers will only have a single food item.

You will feel the famine in Velen versus the bonne vivance of Toussaint.

How it works:
Replaces and/or removes the food entries in the randomized loot lists. Preserves the food entries in the non-random loot lists but reduces their amount to 1 per entry/container.

To prevent issues with empty containers the loot list entries for containers and npc enemies were replaced with a a coin(crowns in the base game, florens in b&w) set with a lower priority than the other items on those lists.
