"Synth Paste is a revolutionary food product of Synth Foods, Inc. that is cheap and hugely popular in all four Houses. Synthesised in research centres this grey, engineered cellulose plant matter can flourish even in the most harsh and arid environments, where it's grown and later processed into Synth Paste after being flavoured in laboratories artificially. Opinions on this product are divided, however. While Synth Paste is very adaptable and can be grown in huge quantities, surpassing inefficient traditional farming techniques, it is viewed with suspicion by some due to its extraordinary manufacturing process. It has since forced many regular farmers out of business and despite the formation of such opposition movements as the LWB and Farmers Alliance, it remains the most popular food product on the market today."
