LOTRO Food question

Hi! I have been thinking to join the LoTRO and give it a try. I know there are like in many MMOs many tables (skills, health, etc) included. Well, we suppose to move a lot by feet in general, solo or as a fellowship, meaning we need to regain our strength in some way with food and drink. And there it comes, major dilemma in my mind, maybe a silly one; is there food and drink included in LoTRO and if we are not managing to get it are we losing some health points and getting weaker during our journey?

Hello! I guess you are thinking the same way as a girl I know, shes always complaining how makers are bragging with each game that they are really getting close to the realism actually not getting any closer to real life. And I was doing my best trying to explain her that term realism is not having the same meaning in MMOs as in life, LOL, Gamers are not looking for playing the real life which means we are too lazy too feed hobbits for example seven times per day so they could survive the journey. In LoTRO food is just being necessity to speed up healing after fight.
