Think Patron or Bookshelf being in play, but Pioneer or Potato Harvester both give food just by themselves. These cards would make you able to afford two occs even while going to 0 food for a little bit. While I agree that sequence of making you use the more expensive option of Writing Desk first weird, I would imagine the game checking if a food occ was played or not is somewhat finicky to code.
@Rudi Yeah, Writing Desk as the more expensive option proccing first is kinda odd, I agree.
The problem is, he only played a occ from writing desk and did not play another acc from the action. In other words, the direct effect of the action did not resolve. I think this is not allowed in rules, just like you can not take renovation without renoing or taking build action without placing new rooms or stables.
I agree with Flower. This is also why I think it should be considered a bug. Writing Desk says you can play an "additional" occupation. You still have to actually play an occ using the Lessons space action - in general, it is against the rules to take an action space and not take (or replace) the action. (NB for the record, the game should and does allow you take an accumulation space with 0 resources on it, since you are "taking" the 0 resources!)
