I can tell you I tested this LAST WEEK and the foods were working...
I tested this just a few mins ago and it is is not working. If you are a ranged profession with a ranged weapon Vegesparine will do nothing for you. Also make sure to unequip and reequip your weapon after you eat the food for the state to take effect.

How long after you take the food do you have wait before you un-equip and re-equip? If you made a macro that ate the food, how big of a pause would you put after taking in the food before re-equiping? One second? Five?
Narrow question, I know but important to those with food macros.

Also what about Melee defense CA's and AA's?
As of right now they are worthless.
The devs were notified about this at 3:30 PM PST by the CHEF CORR. I would suspect some info asap. This can have a major impact on the game and will require a new code to be introduced that will invariable screw up crafting, shuttle ports, and login. Mark my words.

The test in the OP concluded that CA and AA mods work the same as the food. Ranged Defense gives defense boost against ranged and melee attacks when holding a ranged weapon, Melee Defense gives defense against ranged and melee attacks when unarmed or holding a melee weapon. The skill mod cap for clothing at least is +25. So Ranged Defense +46 is the same as Ranged Defense +25. Time to dump some of those extra Ranged/Melee Defense clothes!
THIS IS HUGE!
No, its bigger than that. SKILL MODS are also affected which means Rifleman are overpowered because they have tons of ranged defense while Pistoleers are underpowered because they have some melee defense in the mix. This has been tested. This is a MAJOR issue that has caused almost all combat professions to be unbalanced. It's more than just food and tapes, folks.

Honestly, I don't think this could have ever worked correctly post-CU, since the equip/re-equip your weapon "fix" we've been doing really only makes sense if the game is applying your food to the weapon you're holding. Hence the need to re-equip your weapon.
