Summary
Balance "Food price scales with freshness"
Purpose of change
I can sell my dirty stinky about-to-be-rotten cheeseburger for the same price as a deliciously fresh one, right from the kitchen. That doesn't seem right.
Describe the solution
Scale price with rot, linearly
1% of rot time left = It's worth 1% of the normal price
99% of rot time left = It's worth 99% of the normal price
Describe alternatives you've considered
NPCs only buy food you cook on demand, right in front of them? This isn't teppanyaki!!
Some sort of scaling other than linear. Linear is easy and fair enough, though.
Testing
Sale price for a chunk of raw meat is $0.44. Wait an hour, sale price is now $0.41.

Additional context
Note that pricing is a two-way street. They're worth less buying and selling, though for many players I imagine this will only impact their selling habits.
