Server Suggestion Food mixtures update

[Baba Won]

Suggestion Title: Food mixtures update
Suggestion Description: The food in perp has become extremely boring and in my opinion. Needs a huge rework
There are alot of different stores in Paralake that promote cookies, baked goods and so much more, i feel like alot of new foods should be added, both for the more ”realistic” aspect of food and to promote better and more passive roleplaying.

Why should this be added?:
- better QoL
- More roleplaying opportunities
- more fun and a more engaging resturaunt roleplays
-cheesecake

What negatives could this have?:
- dev time
- Nothing

What problem would this suggestion solve?: It would solve the bland and outdated food of perpheads. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them as this suggestion has alot more to it.

Their has been a debate since even the OG PERP server in 08/09 about whether or not to change the food system into something more akin to an RPG. Back then the debate was about possibly having it so you could reload a weapon faster if you ate XYZ food or have ~2.5% damage resistance for drinking a certain drink. People were freaked out about that because they didn't want it too dillute the RP system.

Without an RPG/gamey system in the backend, people will just continue to eat borger and drink water. With an RPG system you'll create a new economy, but you also get the gamey effects that'll upset some people who play purely for PVP/Raiding.

It'd be a balancing act, but it'd definitely be worth it to have not drug ways of making money

While we'd love to have lots of food options and might add more types in the future, this suggestion is too generic to be left open.
