Enjoy your travels. Honestly I am usually shocked at how quickly my posts appear. I tend to think of you as aghost in the machine that has transcended the need for little things like food & sleep ;) [keep up the awesome work, your dedication shows]
Back on topic:
Is there any chance that XBox may soften its stance on not allowing unrated games due to this situation? It seems like the game developer is confident about selling the game. Could they have insight that is not yet public?

I doubt it. Boris Schneider-Johne sums it up pretty well.
Microsoft (in my view) can not loosen the tight rule of requiring every game to carry a proper legal age rating - because that would immediately undermine the Family Settings feature and make the situation in the long term worse rather than better. The Family Settings in Xbox allow adult players to enjoy the content they want while protecting children from inappropriate content. And all that is tuned to the local standards by using the local age rating systems. Now we just need a legal rating for every game and we’re fine.
Dead Rising allows cooking food to increase the time before it spoils.
In other words: Unspoiled food=Health regen Cooked food/mixed food (In the case of ice cream shakes)=more health regain Spoiled food=Temporary stun (Shown as stomache ache)
lets ban cooking because it helps the GOOD GUY TRYING TO SURVIVE kill more zombies that are NOT PEOPLE.
