So, we all have faced that difficult decision of destroying food tiles, because you feel pop is fine, you need to add more approval buildings, or some new sweet building just became available. However, there dont seem to be any consequences for not having enough food for your pop. You can in fact kill all of your food tiles, and your pop will simply not grow. Shouldnt your population starve and shrink, or atleast lose some approval for being starved???
An obvious exploit of this would be to have several food tiles and a reproduction center, then when the pop is high enough, wipe it all out and keep the pop carefree.
