Does that mean soy-fed humans taste like tofu? 
Would you want to go into a place where the resident had a drum-fed shotgun and can see in the dark?

Hey, not all tofu is stale!

I can't argue about the tasteless part, though.

I'm willing to bet vampires and other infected enjoy humans on an organic diet of real food. You are what you eat takes on whole new meaning. I always enjoy when things like that happen in shows and movies. "I rarely get to enjoy American cuisine, I was hoping for something a little more... corn-fed." "Just got one fresh off the bus. Honor student on her way to Cancun for Spring Break. Blonde, big-boned..."

Would a Soykaf addict who gets Infected and becomes a vamp prefer to prey on Heavy Soykaf users to get both his blood and caffeine fix seeing as he can't drink straight soykaf any longer? :P

... I don't think there are words to describe how I felt when I read that. Just ... wow.
Actually it is not so odd.  Remember they are not true walking corpse, more just transistioned, and addictions can be as much psychological as physical.  Eventually the Red Thirst pretty much eclipses everything else, but initially one would expect some of the old vices to linger a while.

What about mixing blood and soykaf? You can't digest soykaf, but you can digest blood. Maybe mixing the two will sneak it past your system's defenses?
Unfortunately I don't think a simple mix would go down well or stay down.  If I throwup everytime I eat broccoli but not when I drink a milkshake I probably can't make a broccoli milkshake as I would probably still have the vomit reflex. Though maybe a certain ratio could be ingested without immediate reflux but a vamp would pay for it sooner or later I imagine.

For the record, they totally have this.  I hate broccoli, but I drink this:  http://www.nakedjuice.com/our-products/juice/green-machine

Patrick, any input on this thread, and the lack of any mention of regeneration and silver vulnerability for shapeshifters?  http://forums.shadowruntabletop.com/index.php?topic=19201.0

I'll take a look, but I didn't have anything to do with the shifters and how they were written up, so no promises.

Green Machine isn't all that bad.

Not all that good, either...

I've seen worse.
Tasted, too.
Mix of kale and tea leaves with apples and....
Whatever. Bottle was green, actual drink was a greenish brown with small lumps inside.
Can't imagine a broccoli+kiwi smoothie to be that bad.
Or is it about inhabitants of new zealand, given that this thread is about infected?

It's those added ingredients you have to watch out for.  I heard there was a mistake in the bottling process at one of Uncle Vlad's bottling plants, and one of the workers accidentally got some dog mixed in the supply.  Apparently Uncle Vlad's bottling plant also supplies the Old Yeller brand of Hell Hound food.
Feel free to keep any karma you earned illicitly, it's on us.
