Your are correct. Deers and rabbits run lot faster than a potato tree.
Gathering is very labor intensive and the processing often takes days.
As one forger would tell people, "There is no Hamburger Tree".
You shoot a rabbit you have dinner in thirty minutes. You gather grain it is going to take a bit longer. You gather acorns it is going to be several days before you get anything.
