you probably changed the time too far into the future. Playing with time works fine, if you know how.
First I go to the Menu in the game. Then I go to the system preferences for date and time and alter the time/day. I find its best not to advance the time too far until you have a more permanent food source, like 6-9 hours or so. Now that I'm far in the game, I comfortable advancing my guys for a day or two with no ill effect. After I have set the time I go back to my game and press play. All good.
