The best food source in the game.
- Foods are immediately edible, so there's no time wasted on cooking.
- Many of the foods are health-neutral or actually increase your health, contrary to popular belief.
- High enjoyability for high morale and fast learning, even more so when Gourmand was taken at chargen.
- As a freebie, you get lots of plastic bags (for arrows or raincoats) and aluminum cans (for grenades and other such things)
- Vending machines don't bite you.
