Where does food go?
#6
People who have a home will only eat at home. So when they get hungry they either start walking directly home if there's food there, or to a market/barn to pick up food to bring home. They won't be able to eat until they get there.

If people are starving on their way home, it's usually a sign that your housing/job distances are too long, often because you tried to make a residential area on one side, and a work area on the other.
There's the Paths tool in the Reports and Tools section of the toolbar that lets you check where the people of each house go to work, or where the people at a workplace live. The game tries to globally reduce the walking distances on average for the whole town, but if you don't have enough workers living close enough to workplaces, you'll end up with people going a very long way from home, potentially too far.
