Food (フード, Fuudo)? is a race appearing in the Shin Megami Tensei IV duology.
Overview[]
"Prior to God's Plan, domesticated mammals (primary cows and pigs) provided the main source of protein within Tokyo. Because of the severe shortages in livestock, however, demon meat is used as a replacement. Demons fit for human consumption are categorized as the "Food" race."
—Shin Megami Tensei IV Apocalypse Notes, entry - "Demon Meat"
This race is mostly formed by the demons of the UMA race from Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey. This race can be used in fusion as normal but is unable to be fused outside of Element ranking or fusion accidents.
Due to the Food race's late introduction into the series, and thus far having only appearing in the Shin Megami Tensei IV games, it doesn't belong to a species, though with the goal of what makes a Food demon.
