So they decreased digestion rate and now all the 150-200k worth of food i had pre-patch is nearly worthless because it decays way too slowly to take more than 1-2 times before i'm full. . . they gona switch this or is it done on purpose?

Currently no one is sure what the stomach is doing, or what it is supposed to do. According to the Publish 6 patch notes, it should empty in 30 minutes. However, it is pretty obvious it takes closer to 45 at present, at least with most foods.
On top of that, I don't ever recall hearing that the stomach was 30 minutes from full to empty pre-patch, which would indicate that the patch changed nothing in the way of filling (notwithstanding the obvious bug of 45 mins), which can't be right. I know the change to 30 min digestion on a full stomach was a new addition towards the end of testing of the last patch, so I'll bet is was a tad bit longer than 30 mins before (I honestly thought it was an hour pre-patch, since it was set to 45 mins when the revamp first hit TC, then went to 30 after a week or so).
Either way, the old food kinda sucks when compared with the new stuff. I have tons of fishak and glucose stored away that will most likely get destroyed to make room for the new.

If the new food is as good as you say I must be shopping the wrong vendors.. I can't find anything that matches pre-patch foods..(though there are some really cool new foods in terms of skill mods and such).. Stomach decay is HORRIBLE now.. I used to be able to pop two Rych and one BoH every 15 minutes lasting at 10 of that.. Not the case now.. BoH takes 30 minutes to empty now.. While they may not have nerfed pre patch food.. they sure did nerf the stomach.. What good is a 10 minute buff if I have to wait 30-45 minutes to use it again.. I don't have to wait that for spice..

Well regardless of what it should be, or what it was on TC... it now takes much longer for me to digest all my pre-patch food.
I could take BOH, BOH back to back. Even take a 2nd BOH before the first wore off.
Now I cannot take a 2nd BOH even several minutes AFTER the first has worn off.
Indicating that either the way your stomach fills up was altered in such a way to make all pre-patch foods take up MORE space than they used to. Or digestion was slowed down significantly.
End result is still the same. I can't even take 1 ryschate over and over back to back without getting full eventually, and I used to be able to take 2 at a time for 2 full runs, then go to 1 at a time forever.

Actually most of the oldstuff decays at exactly the same rate it did pre-patch, it just wasn't listed as a statbefore.
You could eat 2 glucose, 2 ryshcate, or 2 sunburns at oncebefore...still can now.
Old bivoli, fishak, and BoH were one at a time, still are now.
What specifically has changed that you are referrring to?

I think you're mistaking filling for decay. Because it most certainly does not decay at the same rate it did before. The stomach definitely is decaying slower.
From what I gather from the FAQ up top it used to take 30m to empty your stomach. Now it takes 45m.
I can confirm this because I used to be able tot ake 1 of the BOH i have in my pack. When it ran out i could take a2nd. When that ran out i could take a tat sunburn. Now on an empty stomach I take the SAME BOH, and when it runs out i dont even have room for a tat sunburn let alone a 2nd BOH (which i most certainly did before).
