Food Paste

The food paste is a consumable item

Background
Formulated and produced by the Vault-Tec Corporation in conjunction with the United States government, this food substitute was put through a trial run in the Suffolk County Charter School as an experiment to help fund the school through a program called the Nutritional Alternative Paste Program (NAPP). The paste was intended to provide sufficient vitamins, minerals, and macronutrients and have a shelf life over 100 years, and past 200 years. Consumption of the paste resulted in increased cases of misbehavior, with one teacher noticing that "everyone seems a little bit pinker after a week of eating the stuff." Another individual consumed extensive amounts of the paste, resulting in increased aggressiveness and violent outbursts.

Characteristics
Food paste appears as a cafeteria tray with a blob of pink paste on it. Terminal entries at Suffolk County Charter School suggest that the paste is completely devoid of flavor, turns skin pink with regular consumption, and may leave the consumers restless.
