Food Paste

The food paste is a consumable item in Fallout 4.

Characteristics
Food paste appears as a cafeteria tray with a blob of pink paste on it. It replaced all forms of food at Suffolk County charter school as an experiment to help fund the school through a program called the Nutritional Alternate Paste Program (NAPP).

Holotapes found in the school suggest that the paste is completely devoid of flavor, turns skin pink with regular consumption, and has psychological effects such as irritability.

The area that this consumable is found has a unique population of "pink" ghouls, which supports the observation of the paste turning the skin pink.

Behind the scenes
The food paste as a whole is a reference to Pink Slime, a food additive consisting of low-fat meat which was ground into a paste. It's particularly infamous after being widely used as a meal alternative in American school lunches during 2012, which resulted in major controversy.
