Food from before P-Day
After P-Day, and the power going out pretty much nation wide, most food stores began to spoil and rot quick enough to be made unusable due to lack of refrigeration. Anything that wasn't tightly sealed also stand the risk of getting infectious fluids in it. Foods such as meats, milk, butter, eggs, and similar went bad within the day without being kept cold. Without proper seals, any opened packages eventually came in contact with contamination. For the first few months, people made due and lived off of food stores that they had, or salvaged unspoiled, sealed foods from anywhere near by. As these supplies dwindled, other food sources soon became needed.
Nanites and Food
With a dwindling food supply and no real way to get more food outside of trading, people took to less conventional means to keep their bellies full. Breast milk and semen becoming good substitutes for actual food to the ferals, those with more refined tastes, and less likely to suck their meal from another in such a way, needed something else to substitute. For this Zephyr had a plan. Using the same nanite technology the resulted in mass transformations, they were able to convert base materials on hand into more pleasing and standard foods. After purifying the materials, often the excessive breast milk or cum of another, the product could be ran through another process to change it into just about any standard food item required, using different combinations of nanites for each kind of food. This procedure insured that a steady supply of edible product was available for consumption till other methods became viable, including trade and farm production.
Where did all the matter for all this come from? Well, do note that there are no 'bodies' around. The air is nearly saturated by free floating material, just waiting for some nanites to collect it and use it. This permitted a great deal of various fluids to be created and used. Also, during the early times, the nanites were more unstable and still refining various processes and attempting to properly rework the human body. The necessary material could be 'milked' from just about anyone, even from ferals. Anything that can't be directly used by the host body is instead converted into one of these fluids.
Food Today
Today food production has actually stabilized quite a bit. Some farms now exist in Fairhaven up in New Dawn for example, as well as out in Eureka. However, food that is produced the old fashion way takes a great deal of time by comparison to using nanite processing to convert otherwise unused material into the food that the basic person needs these days. However, actual food does have some advantages. It tastes better, and having little to no nanites in them to begin with, carries absolutely zero chance to effect your nanites in any way. It is expensive, and not completely reliable, but for the right price, you can know for a fact that the stake you are eating came from a good old fashioned cow.
