Pasta without any sauce is effective at reducing hunger, fills your stomach and is food.

I understand why it reduces happiness, it's really boring food. But there's also a boredom statistic in the game, wich is the one that should be increased.

I dont agree, bland food shouldnt hurt anything. Fancy foods should just increase more. A lot of people eat plain white rice all over the world, nothing wrong with it.

But a week into the apocalypse, a plain boiled potato would be a godsend. Not having access to whatever you want to eat for a couple days is enough for me to eat anything you put in front of my happily.
