 ====== FEDERAL CANTEEN SYSTEM (FCS) ======
 ===== Overview =====
-The Federal Canteen System (FCS) is a network of communal dining facilities established in each [[human_settlements_in_the_gamma_age|ExoHuman reservation]] within the [[federal_confederation|Federal Confederation]]. Its primary objective is to ensure that citizens without access to workplace cafeterias receive nutritious meals in line with the principles of [[communardism|Communardism]], where food is considered a communal rather than a private concern.

Its primary objective is to ensure that citizens without access to workplace cafeterias receive nutritious, centrally-prepared meals in line with the principles of [[communardism|Communardism]], where food is considered a communal rather than a private concern.
+At the heart of this system is the [[Federal Kitchen|Federal Kitchen]], located in [[hope|Hope]] as part of the [[federal_food_plant|Federal Food Plant]]. The Federal Kitchen is responsible for preparing all meals served in Federal Canteens, ensuring consistency, sustainability, and adherence to the [[civil_code|Civil Code’s]] requirements for centralized food preparation.
-Meals at FCS facilities are provided through the [[allottment_cards|Allotment Card system]], ensuring equitable access to food. The system is overseen by the [[federal_allotment_agency|Federal Allotment Agency]], and food is sourced from the [[federal_food_plant|Federal Food Plant]], where pre-cooked canned meals are prepared and distributed.

 Under the [[civil_code|Civil Code,]] Section 7: Nutrition and Food, the Federal Confederation governs food allocation as follows:

   * **Food Designation:** The Federal Council defines permissible food annually through the Annual Plan. Any food outside this plan is illegal.
   * **Food Allocation:** [[gaia_system|GAIA]] calculates food distribution to citizens based on the Annual Plan, represented through Allotment Cards.
-  * **Distribution Mechanism:** Food is distributed exclusively through designated centers such as Federal Canteens and workplace cafeterias.
+  * **Distribution Mechanism:** Food is distributed exclusively through designated centers such as Federal Allotment Centers (breakfast and dinner) and Federal Canteens as well as workplace cafeterias (lunch).
   * **Private Cooking Restrictions:** Private cooking is prohibited, deemed a resource-wasting luxury. Centralized meal preparation reduces resource consumption and aligns with sustainability goals.
-To complement the FCS, large institutions such as the [[federal_copper_plant|Federal Copper Plant]] in [[firetown|Firetown]], the [[federal_courier_service_headquarters|Federal Courier Station]], and the [[federal_personal_care_plant|Federal Personal Care Plant]] in [[new_kourou|New Kourou]], as well as [[new_kourou_junior_high_and_high_school|the New Kourou High School]], are mandated to operate cafeterias for their staff and students. However, many smaller organizations lack such facilities, making the Federal Canteen System essential for citizens without workplace meal access.
