Summary

0010828: Thoughts and Preferences screen has incomplete food preference

Description

The displayed food preference for creatures on the Thoughts and Preferences screen is misleading/incorrect. The Thoughts and Preferences screen reports a unit "prefers to consume emu", implying that any part of the emu would be acceptable to generate a good thought. The actual unit preference (visible with dfhack's gm-editor) shows that the unit wants a specific emu component (hearts, liver, etc).
This can be seen in the attached save. The dwarf Stodir (bound to F5) is in a burrow with two stacks of emu meals. One contains emu lungs (the preference) and one contains emu intestines. Stodir will only receive 'decent meal' thoughts and need satisfaction from the emu meal containing lungs.

Steps To Reproduce

Open the attached save and wait for Stodir (bound to F5) to eat a meal. It should take about 1 in-game day. Test can be repeated by toggling what stack of meals is forbidden.
