Food Expiration Date and Bar

Player can view more specific food condition. With the new trait player can additionally find out exact time to stale and rotten states with seconds precision. Trait costs 2 points as a generic human being is usually able to distinguish food state without intensive training.
Chefs and Burger flippers can automatically see additional info, as well as players which take Cook and Nutritionist traits (both cost more than a separate trait).
Compatible with versions 38.30, 40.43, 41.45+, 41.78.
Additional configuration is possible: you can decide to see food status without a trait (for existing games) or disable seconds in tooltip if you don't like them ticking away so fast, see variables in 'tooltip.lua' for configuration. No in-game menus currently, feel free to add them if you need them or create patches and contact me.

Hover the cursor over food in inventory or container. With the new trait 'Eye to food' tooltip shows a bar and time left to 'stale' and 'rotten' states with seconds precision. Otherwise, only rough estimation will be seen as a status, but still more detailed than in vanilla Zomboid.
Non-perishable food has 'No expiration date' message instead to help everyone distinguish it in-game without Wiki pages.

Food has 5 states (without trait) which are color-coded further for more convenience:

• very fresh
  
• fresh
  
• okay
  
• starting to rot
  
• rotten (basically the in-game state)

States are rough estimates (consider them based on 'Best Before' date on the product) while colors are more like smelling actual food, and dates and smells can indicate different things. Use their combitation for better effect or spend 2 points for the new trait.

This is a rework of abreu20011's mod by Rez (October, 2017) for personal use that I now share with everyone interested due to outdated version already being uploaded to workshop.

Original work by abreu20011 (pretty much discontinued) and topic on TIS forum[theindiestone.com].
Outdated version (April, 2015) already uploaded here by Ralph Blue.
