I'm also not convinced by the concept of this being "only buffs" and therefore better to interact with. If you only get substantial buffs while you're full, you are de facto debuffed while you're not full and it will still feel like a chore you have to do.
The last two buff thresholds are done by having the recipe require botany ingredients or having it cooked at the right time with both allowing the last buff threshold, making them impossible to be obtained from vending machine food. The idea of "if everyones buffed not having it is a debuff" is something that's I really gotta think of a solution to though.
