While many people are enamored of Star Trek pill-meals,
Not a thing. Star Trek shows its stellar explorers eating fully prepared meals from a "replicator," which is better compared to a microwave. Voyager and Deep Space Nine both introduced the concept of growing food aboard ships and preparing hand cooked meals in addition to replicator rations, both for health/morale and smarter resource consumption. Star Trek as a sci-fi media franchise remains one of the most progressive imaginings of a future life in space.
