Encountered a bug where food would get drained almost as fast as it was produced. by day 50 i had 3000 extra ration production daily. I think it was linked to the extra rations for the sick in the infirmary, managed to finish the game on hard but had 400+ starving by the warm day)

I had a similar problem during my last game (maincampaign, huge storage, huge surplus production but people get hungry and/or starving.
The Solution for me was..to build more Kitchens(The basic ones, the small Kitchens from the faithtree do't help it seems, sorry for the word but i don't know the englisch word imo) and set at least one or two on long shifts.
It seems, that the Kitchens do more then just preparing the food,i could see from the messages, that the people eat at home but they seems to gather food first and if your workers have long shifts all day...and the Kitchen(s) are only open during their working hours...

I know it doesn't make sense because i had no problems with this while i had few people, even with one Kitchen sett to normal shifts and the rest doing long shifts+builind stuff afterwards...but it helped :) I can only guess but maybe the people can gather their food from different buildings (Kitchen,Mainstorage,...) and the amount of people that can gather the food together is limited...if they work long shifts, you let them build something during the remaining hours...and then...500 people storm the Kitchen&Storehous to get food NOW..because the would like too sleep since 3-4 hours:) but only 5 people can get food together..so after a time the rest gives up :)

My problem wasnt the lack of kitchens. My population was "eating" 4000 rations per day!!! And yes i had a similar issue to yours in another playthrough, but thats insignificant overall

Ok, ok...that was a missunderstanding.

The extra-ration for the sick shouldn't cause that because the people don't eat more with that law, the medical buildings get a Buff-ability to raise their efficiency 12(?) hours for 10 rations.

Same issue here, played around and was able to find 1 glitched worker who is always hungry and ate up all my rations! Figured out which one it was but still don't have a fix for this :(.

There is an event where cooks start stealing food, and if you don't post guards to oversee them, they will steal a lot of the food.

you can also give double rations to working kids if you don't pay attention.

Interesting, I think you can make from the same quantity of food more rations, to calculate and to applicate that. Other idea is to use for example not meat but minced which will give you the possibility to feed more people without any loses. In such way you can to more things. If you liked my idea and you want more info about blenders, grinders or other kitchen things you can check Best Blender for your kitchen. One more idea is to use for garnish only rice cause is not so expensive.
