I have a lot of Faes, and they eat a lot of bugs. I don't need a lot of Meat/Fish/Plant food points, so it'd be nice to have a mechanic where I could trade in food points of the type of food my lair doesn't really eat, for Bugs. It could be like a 3:1, 4:1 ratio or something. Not efficient, but better than having meat I can't eat. I've seen a few "chef apparel" suggestions as well, so perhaps this could be timed with a new Chef NPC wearing Chef Apparel, for those who would like that kind of thing.

I'd use it! I always have more fish than I need.

I wouldn't really mind one way or the other, it would still be more efficient to trade/sell unconverted food so it shouldn't really be a huge impact if you can convert at a point loss.
Although for anyone who has issues with your clan unevenly eating the different food types, you can use Selective Feeding (in the account settings menu) to force your dragons to eat certain types first if they are able to!
Not super helpful in the case of the Faes because they only eat Insects, but if you have varied diet dragons you can force them to eat different foods. Its how I force my army of Gaolers to be vegetarian only instead of munching through the meat stores every day.

No support...? This isn't necessarily because I think this is a bad idea, but because it technically already exists in some way. The main ways I can think of doing a "food exchange" with what is already here are:
- Hoardselling your unwanted non-insect food points, and using the funds to procure more insect food points
- Using Baldwin to create Soylent Yellow, which is made by melting down unwanted foods at Baldwins, thus counting as an exchange of food points (a profit, even, in some cases)

No support for these reasons, too. There's also the various buying and selling forums, too, where you'd be able to trade them in, so there's really no reason to include some sort of food exchange. Just think of it as free material to melt down with Baldwin, since you don't have to convert all of the food you have into food points.

I mean, support for a cooking feature, but a direct trade already kinda exists as the commenters above me have said.

Support, I have way more plant points than I'll likely ever need (my other supplies are around 3200 each, plants are past 5k), and I can't just use baldwin or hoardselling because I don't have them in item form.

Woold say the same.
I would enjoy a new trading post activity to craft food with nice recipes and more effective than Soylent at Baldwin's...
But trading food points for another don't sounds interesting as you are not forced to confert items into points. Trading your food item on th eforum is the best way, and you can have 1:1 food point with another player. ^^
