If I take the "food addiction" flaw, does the type of food I eat matter? - Women taking piece of pizza with tomatoes and cheese

In "The Outer Worlds" (PC via Steam), I took the "Food Addiction" flaw for my character in exchange for an extra perk. Now I periodically get a negative debuff which requires me to eat a food item to alleviate.

I've been eating either Raptidon Meat (because it weighs 1 lb) or food with buffs that last a very short amount of time (15-20 seconds). I'm wondering if it makes a difference what kind of food specifically I eat. Do the negative effects stay away longer if I eat higher quality food (eg food whose buffs last 1-2 minutes), or is it all equal?

I've personally not noticed any difference, but at the same time I'm also busy trying not to die, so there's that. I'm playing on Normal difficulty. (This is my first play-through, please no spoilers!)
