Mmmm......Paste *drool*

[BaconSoda]

The farmer's alliance, in kusari, is fighting synth foods because everyone is starting to use synth paste instead of purchasing the 'real' food the farmers sell.

That, and the fact that synth foods is a foreign company (and nobody in kusari likes foreigners), means that synth paste is probably not very common in kusari.

Now, that's not entirely true.

There is a large movement of Kishiro and Blood Dragon/Golden Chrysanthemum backed politicians that are looking to bring more foreign influence into Kusari. On the other hand, there is also the traditional Samura and Hogosha backed politicians who are looking to keep foreigners out. It is a split culture, and that is why the FA exist.

The FA seeks to force all foreign culture out of Kusari. It wishes to return Kusari to it's prior isolation. All foreign influences are a threat to this, and that also forces them into conflict with the GC, who wish to overhaul the Kusari political structure completely. The Hogosha and Samura support us only because we fit into their goals to keep constant the status quo. If not for that, we would not have any support.

And not everyone eats Synth Paste.

Kusari produces Rice on Kyushu, which is known as the healthiest food in Sirius, and Seafood on Junyo, which is in rather high demand in Liberty. Samura is at the forefront of Fertilizer production, and uses these to support independent farmers on Kyushu. They also seek to compete with Synth Foods by using Alien Organisms in a way much like Terraforming to stimulate the wildlife in the sea environment on Junyo to bolster it's productivity.

Bretonia is relatively unpoisoned by the filth that is Synth Foods. Most of the farmers there raise vegetable products as is English tradition. Most of the Non-Paste food comes from here.

And everyone forgets the LWB (I was once guilty of that too). Stuttgart isn't completely owned by Synth Foods (even though they have permanently changed the climate and soil conditions on the planet), and the few farmers that remain continue to raise Wheat products, making the name "Breadbasket of Rheinland" still semi-applicable to the Planet.

Don't you love the Angry Farmer's Movement?
