      I'm strongly against making fireborn eat fire instead of eating

Cast burning hands at yourself or any size fireball near
a wall. Now try casting "create food" in a dragon cave when you're
already covered in flame and pick up the food before it burns.

Which seems easier?

      Third, what's so horrible about the idea of fireborn consuming food?
     
     
Try carrying enough food to survive on w/ str == 2. If
you're low level and carrying food (vs. waybreads) the
speed hit will kill you nearly as often as starvation.
