I have changed things a bit, but not much, primary changes are outside
the CZ. You're on the right track, but no cigar yet. :-)

Paranoia is one thing, but when the players are suddenly scared of every
Shadowrunners staple food supply (stuffer shacks and Fast food
restaurants), it becomes more than just paranoia, there's the distinct
possibility of starvation and other unpleasant results as well. And
they can't really trust the soup kitchens too much, not seeing as most
of them are run by the UB, and the players still have some nasty
suspicions about them, regardless of Government discalaimers to the
contrary. :-)

being here now, we make that determination for ourselves, and it's neither.
