This isn't a major issue, but it is a tad inconvenient when you want to use stat raising items on your king since some of them need to be eaten and if your king comes across food while exploring (the half-eaten carrion, not the full item carcasses) he'll automatically regain hunger, delaying your chance to use the stat item if his bar becomes full. Again, not a big issue since it can easily be avoided by eating stat items /before/ exploring, but it would be nice to have an option of whether or not you want to eat the carcass.
