Food too easy to get when using a hoe on grass

[MarioSMB]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues.

Are you using the latest MineColonies Version?

• I am running the latest beta/release version of MineColonies for my Minecraft version.
  I am also running the latest versions of other mods that are part of my problem.

Did you check on the Wiki? or ask on Discord?

• I checked the MineColonies Wiki and made sure my issue is not covered there. Or I was sent from discord to open an issue here.

What were you playing at the time? Were you able to reproduce it in both settings?

Current Behavior

Using a hoe on grass produces massive amounts of full-grown crops for use with colonies... except you don't need to use colonies to eat these foods and turn them into meals!
It is too easy and impacts non-colony gameplay allowing such easy harvesting of various usable food items.

Expected Behavior

I'm not sure what the preferred way would be to address this would be... some ideas:

• Don't allow players to eat MineColonies crops or make meals from them
• Make it so colonists are the ones that must gather the crops
• Provide seeds for the crops that are gathered with a hoe

Any one of those would help, or some alternative solution perhaps!

Reproduction Steps

Use a hoe to break grass.

Anything else?

With prominent mods like Farmer's Delight I have to wonder if MineColonies should even be adding its own crops and meals?

counterpoint, getting minecolonies food is way too hard already, and making it harder would make a negative system so much worse

[MarioSMB]

Colonist food being hard to manage may be worth addressing in its own issue, the focus here is on the negative impact these crops have on the core gameplay.

I agree, it's supposed to be a system to fill up a bit and discover things not to become the #1 survival food. We got plans on tuning it down
