Some races eat more than others, though. While there's randomness (and I would also love to see randomness reduced), gnomes, kobolds and fairies will always eat less than dark elves, orcs, dragonkins, and many other races.
I would be happy if stats on randomly generated characters were balanced so none of them ended up with only maxed or minimum stats; and rolling high on negative stats like food consumption and hated foods should just give additional stat points.
