Get sick for eating food that was on the floor

[Alriac]

Have you ever seen restaurants that serve the food on the floor? Have you ever ate a cookie you found in the street? Do you share your food by spreading it all over the place?
Let's add realism to the game:

The idea is, If a food item touches the floor it has a chance to give you food sickness when eating it.
- Being on the floor could mean being on a tile that has no table or other food-safe surfaces, like vending machines, or kitchen machines.
- Different food can have different chance of becoming intoxicated, so packaged food can have 0% chance, borg cookies 100%, etc.
- And maybe it can only get intoxicated after being for more than X seconds on the floor.

Wait, you mean you don't eat random food you find lying on the floor as well? And here I was thinking everyone did that.

The game isn't supposed to be realistic though, it's supposed to be fun.

Good point, not a good reason to add it but realism isn't incompatible with fun.
It's supposed to be an RP game and I think this would improve it by forcing crewmembers to actually care about where they place the food.

Maybe add somekinda decay system to the food?

I think goon has it that if there is food on the floor, ants spawn and eat it.

A little floor spice makes everything nice

I agree. Eating food that is on a dirty/bloody table or the floor should have a chance of giving you food poisoning.
