Found an in era post (Late June of 2000), should be noted he is comparing Muffins consumption alongside Water consumption, however I believe this is before Muffins had a different food consumption classification (i.e. a 'snack'). Even mentions Iron Rations are consumed same rate as Water.
Thread is titled 'Muffins' in alt.games.everquest newsgroup, here is the link and relevant quotes:

False. In most zones you will use up food and water at the same rate
regardless of what food type it is. You buy 20 muffins and 20 water and you
will usually find that you run out of both at the same time. Or you could
buy 20 iron rations and 20 water and see the same thing. One exception is
oasis where water runs out quicker than food.

not just oasis, but south ro too (and probably north ro)

Quote:
True. Any of the desert zones make you go through water
twice as fast as food. I used to routinely buy food and water in
lots of 10 and by the time I ran out of water in the desert
zones, I always had five food left.

Quote:
Please add Lavastorm to the zones that use up water or milk faster than
other zones. I only just noticed this today, actually. Makes sense,
it's pretty hot there.
Has anyone ever noticed a zone that used up food faster than normal?
With some experimentation, I found the following things apply in normal,
non-desert zones:
Rations and water get used up at the same rate.
Rations and milk get used up at the same rate.
Milk and muffins get used up at the same rate.

Final quote mentions this did not happen in Lavastorm and appears as if he confirmed the above quotes by noticing higher water consumption in the classic desert zones.
