1. Use my resources to compete in the free market.
2. Use my resources to get the government to pass policy to give me an advantage.

In this scenario, if I had a farm that made a certain kind of product that didn’t do well in the free market (because it was too expensive or didn’t taste good), I’d be screwed. But if the state controlled restaurants and I could get a government policy that required my product is included in meals, then I’d make a fortune!

You forgot to mention though that since this is a government restaurant, they’ll only serve all that government subsidized white-flour-corn-sweetened goodness.
