Diet

Old page, will delete after moving information

Common Diet

 * All Jaquarii have access to basic nutrition bars, dry and tasteless edible blocks which contain all required nutrients and calories for the day (except water, which is also provided everywhere)
 * Flavoured blocks are provided, but often cost money
 * Still relatively inexpensive
 * A variety of blocks with different levels of nutrients and calories exist depending on the age and nutrition requirements
 * It is possible to exist solely on these blocks and water, provided that one does not consume more than the recommended number of blocks or water in a day

Uncommon Diet

 * A common practice is to grow food- both plant and meat matter
 * Past technological advances have allowed for efficient growth of edible plants and animal tissue
 * Genetic modification allows for increased nutrition and faster growth (while avoiding malignant cells)
 * All growth kits cost currency
 * Both for the initial purchase and ingredients to produce the food
 * Maintenance is easy, as advanced technology has allowed for increased durability
 * Shops and grocery stores exist for those who do not wish to grow their own food or want food that they do not grow themselves

History

 * A majority of the Jaquarii diet stems from the age before the Collapse, during a time of technological innovation driven by overpopulation
 * Cheaper and easier ways to mass produce food were created, starting with the nutrition bars available to all
 * Growing food individually became extremely popular as it allowed individuals to have fresh food when most food shops were sold out
 * Reduced stress on large-scale farmers that had difficulties keeping up with demand
 * May have had some propaganda involved...

Trivia

 * A majority of meat is grown rather than obtained from previously living animals, partially due to the systems being overwhelmed from demand
 * Animal products obtained from live animals are still available, though not common
 * Hunting and fishing still exists, though limited
 * Laws require hunters to have licenses, poaching has heavy consequences
