The tracking of decay is based off of the calendar date and time, so skipping time forwards through the use of a bed or commands will result in the food decaying the same amount as if that time frame had passed normally. This also means that items in environments that do not tick properly (such as on the ground, or in other mod's containers) will instantly update and make up the lost decay as soon as it enters a player's inventory. For example: A player kills a pig, and then walks away so that the items are in unloaded chunks. The player returns a few weeks later to pick up the pork that did not despawn because the chunks were unloaded. As soon as the pork enters the player's inventory, it will rapidly make up for the lost time, quickly decaying until it disintegrates in the player's hands.
