When does Fertile trigger, and can a Carnivore have it?

The designer and publisher both confirmed the second-edition change requiring leftover food, superseding first-print wording.

Fertile adds 1 Population at the start of Feeding, and only if the Watering Hole still has food left from the previous round. So it cannot trigger in the first round. The second-edition wording set this, and an older first-print version had no such limit. A Carnivore may have Fertile.
