gollark: That seems somewhat arbitrary.
gollark: No, I mean by the government, which probably has to go to lots of effort to run such a system and define what "food" is.
gollark: So would just giving people money to spend on food. Less overhead with working out what counts as acceptable food too probably.
gollark: Clean water *from taps*? As opposed to by going to a shop or something.
gollark: Technically I just "need" 1500 calories in some ratio of nutrients, but I like to have somewhat more than this and also food I like, so "universal basic food" would be bad.
