Append the following step to the Posing a Dilemma atomic action:

* If this Dilemma’s number is a multiple of 10, reduce the Food of each non-Abandoned District by 1; or, if that District is Famished, reduce its Food to 0; or, if that District is Starving, reduce its People by half (rounded up).

In the Gathering atomic action, replace “Gain n * 0.1 Food” (if it exists) with “Gain n * 0.2 Food”.

Add the following Innovation to the list of Innovations:

| Technological || Indoor Gardens || 1 || None || Every time you React to a Dilemma whose number is a multiple of 10, gain 1 Food.

a slight rework of Food Is Supposed to Get Eaten that has less of an effect on most Districts, but more of an effect on Districts that are Famished or Starving, while only happening every 10 days instead of 7.
(also, Indoor Gardens is slightly cheaper because its effect is honestly very minor!)

I agree that the effects of this are probably too swingeing, for this stage in the dynasty.

I’ll likely still be against, but this time on selfish grounds: the change to food gain disadvantages lendunistus and I, having already used the effect in previous Gathers.

but aren’t you also benefitted by food becoming more necessary and valuable in the process? i tried to make these two things balance each other out.

Think I’m going to switch to abstaining on gameplay issues, and to patch Imperial Deferentials for low player counts when I get a slot back. (With four players, a 2-vs-2 situation shouldn’t be passing or failing based on the order in which those players vote.)
