Food Revamp! (Very WIP Rough Draft)

[Frank_Stein]

What there should be is more reagents unique to cooked foods.
Currently most food does relatively nothing.

From the old thread

The first way is through chemicals, as in the favorite food would release a certain type of chem into the blood stream.

I like this idea. Reagents that are more generated from actions rather than from substances.

For instance, let's say people have favorite foods, and it's their favorite because that's what their mom's made them when they were young. They eat their favorite food, and then their body produces a unique reagent like "Nostalgia"

This would also open it up other unique reagents like "Fear" and mad science shenanigans like harvesting it from people and bottling it for sale, but that's a tale for another thread.

With cooking the focus should be on creating reagent blends. The more variety, the better.

The most useful comparrison would be of herbal remedies to pharmaceutical drugs.

To this effect, there should be a herbs and soup update.

I also agree that this should be a thing. Basically, the closer to Earthbound's food system we get, the happier I'll be.
