Star Trek fans have held the national stereotype of being way too rabid about things for decades but they’re probably the nicest fan base in all of science fiction and the one least likely to have a large faction of them absolutely lose it over a torpedo being fired by a woman or dumb shit like that

And they’re not even that woke. Afaik they still ocasionally eat animals in the 24th century. (Unless they’re Vulcan.) Watch The Orville if you want some proper progressive shit 😆
They have food replicators. The only thing not vegan about replicated meat is that they’d probably use your poop as bulk material to synthesize stuff
Pretty ure I saw Riker cooking with eggs at some point. And who knows what neelix gets up to in the galley
Could just replicate the eggs, or even a raw steak to grill, would still be poop meat.
Neelix on the other hand…

The replicators are also used to “recycle”, converting matter into energy, to be used for future replication.
I doubt they were hauling poop through space rather than converting it to poop energy for their next earl grey.

If we’re sticking with the lore, the only limitation should be what they have stored in the replicator database. No reason your poop steak couldn’t taste like an A5 wagyu or a $2 steak, depending on your personal preference.

True! Forgot about that. I think voyager had a few episodes with hunted game of some sort. The Klingons in general too. Guess actually trek isn’t super big on veganism haha

Yeah they have. But don’t they go on to tell in several episodes of all of the shows, how someones mom makes/made the best X/Y out of real ingredients and how much better that tastes than replicated food? And they eat on some planets with other people or on vacation… ?! Or someone worked in a restaurant?
Keiko really came off as not a nice person in that scene.
I don’t think the Star Trek replicator use raw materials to produce stuff. I’m pretty sure it’s just energy converted into matter.
Mmmm, poop meat 🤤
You mean like “agree to date me or else I’ll date the younger clone of you?”
No, no, more like “I’m going to fly a shuttle outside your quarters so I can spy on you during your date”
You weren’t supposed to see that.
You didn’t actually watch that ep, didja? Several tells there lol
(Honestly if you wanted fucking problematic Gordon was right there)
