C3X: Virtual Food Resources?

[SayHayKid]

Has anybody tested "resource improvements" that produce food as a virtual resource? I was thinking something along the lines of having a cow produce only 1 food, but if you build a Pasture than it provides +1 extra food as a virtual resource. Not sure what you'd call the new resource. You could do the same with other resources you add such as Pig Farm, Sheep Farm, Fishery, etc. Even have the Granary require Wheat and produce extra food. I was thinking no maintenance and low shield cost (40)? Or does this just overcomplicate things? Maybe even a Small Wonder in early Industrial Era like Cattle Ranch that requires 3 Pasture and then you get an additional food or production bonus.

I have not tested this yet, but this is a good idea.
