I was surprised to find out that Chakotay is vegetarian… interesting! Most of the food they use is replicated, which i guess it makes it like a soy based unturkey pork chop, or vegan cheese. Would the knowledge of eating replicated food prevent him from indulging in replicated “meats”? Or would it only be an issue when cooking with raw materials? What if the raw materials were replicated and then cooked?

Not being vegetarian, I think that there would be no issue. It’s reprocessed matter that comes from recycled matter. For arguments sake, maybe I wouldn’t as it would prevent me from being tempted or dubious about its preparation. One thing is for sure though, there wouldn’t be many that would complain about the treatment of the animals, since there wouldn’t be any poor treatment, and it would also not be about the food taste… I’m guessing it all tastes bland anyhow.
