I just stared yesterday and I noticed the same thing with the ratio of Food to Gold Cost. If you take a closer look the amount of experience you get is usually equal to the cost of gold.

At first I thought something was strange but then I started watching the video's to get my food. When you watch a 1-5 minutes video and it gives you 1000 food it made farming seem like a joke. (6 Hours, A Lot of Gold for only 200 Food). When I got my dragons to level 10 with videos the 200 food for each 6 farms is barely a light snack for a dragon. Now I think of the farms as more of a Gold=Experience and I do not worry about using them for food.

If you are going to be sitting around the computer and do not mind clicking on them every 2 hour, 30 min, or 5 MIn then the shorter time the better. (30 Sec is best for food but you lose the gold/experience ratio so I dont consider it an option).

Personally I like the 2 Hour ones at which time I collect my gold from my habitats and set it for another 2 hours. I do the 6 Hour one before I go to sleep for the night or if I am going to be gone for a while during the day.

It is a shame this game was extremelly fun the 1st and 2nd day, but now I am limited by waiting for food/hatching/combat times so it turned into a 5 minute of playtime every 2 hours. I want to play the game more and would be willing to actually buy gems if I could do some more combat but at this time even buying gems wont give me more combat.
