if you eat a sausage from burning crusade you get like a few thousand health
eat one from bfa and you get a few hundred thousand
are you telling me the sausage made in kul tiras is so good it transcends past normal food into ambrosia to heal you or what
answer me blizzard
The RP answer: We keep getting better at cooking.
The dev answer: People would just eat old food instead of leveling professions and making new food.
My answer: It is proportional. Eating food makes us feel better no matter how much health we have!
Kul Tiran sausage has more girth = more health.
It’s to keep professions advancing
If stuff from previous expansions worked as well as current things, there’d be no reason to level new professions
Video game physics.
There’s more… protein 
At current level,it would but it has a level cap you will not be able to eat 120 at 100 and you’ll never reach 120 level food at 120 anyway.
this must be the only answer
the amount of health is directly proportional to the amount of girth
this gets fixed somewhat in sl. All 50 and below food should be the same. Should…not sure if alpha shows this for that bit. Way I see squish and 1 area only for leveling if desired…even crap (now) 1 to 60 food gets a very nice boost in sl. It has to compete with BFA food.
Why I spam other expacs food these days off and on. Its a hell of a lot easier to farm mats for prior expacs super foods. Easy buffs to level 50-60 faster? Sure, why not?
Have you seen the size of some KTs? One doesn’t become that big eating those little sausages from BC!
I don’t they’ll do that it will be scaled like everything else.
Usually not a betting man but I spam older stuff sometimes to take that 50/50 chance lol. All I lose is spare time if I lose.
WHy it needs to leave this alpha tower crap. I don’t care about the tower. Covenant whines…don’t care. Show me how crafting goes in this brave new squishy world lol.
You’ll probably start crafting once you hit level 60 I would imagine. Heartstakingly.
it’s been awhile since my hunter bothered to feed her pet, due to level restrictions.
i think i have over 13 stacks of Northern spices leftover from Dalaran cooking dailies
Same reason why critters gain ten times the health they would have had in the previous expansion… everything is scaled. We’re playing Wheel Spinning the game. Progress is lost with every new expansion, and we start right back over. So, we are no stronger than that person that hit level 60 15 years ago.
