A nutrient paste dispenser converts raw food into nutrient paste meals, it requires a hopper in order to do so and needs electrical power to be operated. The dispenser provides food on a demand basis.
Colonists consuming nutrient paste meals will suffer the “Ate awful meal” thought, which is slightly less punishing than the "Ate raw food” thought mood debuff, and provides more nutrition than raw food alone.
One hidden property of the dispenser is that it will act as a wall capable of separating rooms, accepting conduits and blocking temperature. This allows you to place hoppers in a refrigerated space to prevent rot, or to point a dispenser into a prisoner room where colonists can safely fill the hopper from outside the prison.
