Meat Carver and otherfood questions
i have a meat carver. I have cows. Cows are enabled for food. The food supply did not seem to change when I trained the meat carver. The cow surpluss says it is going down 1 each turn. Where is my 20 meat for the cow?

I noticed similar food things earlier...I had several gatherers plucking away at food items, yet my food stash wasn't getting a corresponding bump. Is there a conversion rate for things like 5 grapes turning into 0.2 food? I'm on turn 90 and barely getting by on food.

The food icon represents how many turns worth of food you have. By turn 90, you probably have a lot of large clans and need quite a lot of food to feed the whole tribe for 1 turn.

5 grapes will feed something like 25 families. By that point most of your older clans will have 5+ families, so multiply that by the number of clans you have and you'll see why it takes so much food to bump up your stockpile by a whole turn.

Hoover over your food icon and then hoover over Stockpile/Production/Consumption row. Everything about food should be explained there.
Most Probably you have a lot of food stored (like more than 60) and any food surplus gets eaten by Spoilage - the more food you have stored, the bigger amount is wasted - till almost 100% of surplus.
