A drink which is almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea. ---

Isn’t it the case that the food that comes out of the replicator is miraculously perfectly balanced and tailored for optimum human nutrition, no matter what it tastes and looks like? Because in that case I’d just alternate between hot fudge sundaes and thick-crust pepperoni and mushroom pizzas with chili garlic paste. If however the food had the same nutritional makeup as the real thing, I’d have to forgo those as I do in real life, because I don’t eat dairy anymore. Somebody tell me it’s the former. ---

I’d ask the replicator to serve up a steak of me (right thigh, not left thigh) medium rare. It’s autocannibalism the safe way! Think of all the fun the Federation is missing out on when someone retorts, “Eat me!” and you approach a replicator with “Riker chops, well done” As you command number two! As for everyday stuff, orange soda forty degrees fahrenheit, spicy orange beef, sixteen fried dumplings and some slightly stale chocolate chip cookies. ---

In the Star Trek world, all foods would be non or low fat, but would taste great. And the holodeck issue was once answered by Okuda saying that some matrices take longer to dissolve. Then, he said, “Ok, so we made a mistake…” ---

How could I have forgotten? Replicator food, not being made from an actual animal, is %100 kosher! No longer would I have to wait an hour after drinking a shake to have a burger. And, I could once again eat the beloved food of my boyhood-bacon double cheeseburgers!;j ---
