I didn’t really think they actually covered that plot point well.
The biggest problem iirc is a duplicated loaf of bread has the same expiration date as the original, so you can’t actually make bread last forever with duplication without it getting moldy. Preservation charms wear off the same as muggle preservatives do.
But I don’t see why dried or smoked food couldn’t be duplicated for months or years. The biggest threat would be scurvy at that point.
Just because someone is unsuccessful in killing you doesn’t mean it’s okay that they continue to try though.
Those fuckers can duplicate food and never go hungry, but never share. They deserve to be burned.
Technically, duplicating food is not that feasible. That was a plot point covered in the seventh book.
