I think there just are people out there who genuinely enjoy this vapid lifestyle. Like we could create a star trek utopia and there'd still be a minority of people grumbling in their free apartment that there isn't an ugly neon parking lot with a restaurant attached that they can buy awful burgers in, instead they have to eat good vegan burgers from their damn replicator!

These people want disgusting slop that doesn't have any complex flavors that will confuse them.

There seems to be a lot of artisanal food production in the Federation, the Picard family makes wine, Boimler makes raisins, Picard brings actual caviar on the Enterprise.

Technically all food from a replicator is vegan. beanis
