Second, I don't exactly get the food rotting thing. When food rot, I think you can no longer get any nutrition out of it. But the few examples here, you can still eat it, and it still gives you nutrition, just it tastes horrible. Adding spice to wine(Rand's wine in chaper 1) and food (soup in chapter 2) would make it fine.
It is like the DO is tainting food just like tainting saidin. There is a dirty filth on the surface of the food, and you have to reach across that filth to reach the nutrition underneath.
It is like food is not rotten like the food being rotten regularly, but it is a form of food poisoning, only much slower. Food is poisoned by a form of the DO's taint, and I wonder if people (both men and women) whould go mad from this new taint if they eat enough food! That would be the reason to start TG before all people went mad from slow food poisoning!
I think you make a good point, but it could also be that only somethings had spoiled. Rancid oil for example tastes horrible and doesn't have much nutritional value, but it won't kill you and still provides some nurishment. If the soup had some oil in it that had spoiled, it would still be edible, but unappetizing. If there was nothing else to eat I'd eat rancid oil and stale bread rather than starve.
Your thoughts about TGS - chapter 2 *spoilers*
