=== Foodstuffs of the Imperium ===
The range of Imperial foodstuffs is downright mind-boggling considering how vast the Imperium is. Each world will have local foodstuffs, but certain foods and drinks span the entire galaxy. Most of the food is produced on Imperial Agri-worlds, which must be specifically located near their star and meet stringent tolerances set by the Mechanicum. These worlds food production, like almost all of the rest of the Imperium, are known for choosing quantity over quality. The worlds have to be covered in new nitrogen and phosphorous dumps from fliers to renew the soil, the weather is highly controlled, and after generations the world finally can produce no more food and is left as a toxic Death world. Most of the food produced is the standards we all know: wheat, corn, vegetables, fruits, etc. However, once harvested it is blasted with vitamins and preservatives to make sure it keeps till it makes it to the worlds who need it and processed so that it can be used almost anywhere, rendering the taste quite artificial. Another Imperial staple is corpse-starch or Soylent Viridians, which is made from green algae growing on decomposing materials (human corpses, dead animals, rotting plants, etc.) and is a nearly flavorless paste. Other sources of food include ambull (a giant burrowing insect), [[Grox]] meat (lobotomized giant reptiles that are used to make burgers), and amino-porridge (eaten by Space Marines, shows how important it is to eat your Wheaties every day).
