Bring along chickens and feed this to them. Then use the eggs for breakfast.

Reminds me of the food cubes from "Farscape". They didn't much like them either.

Emeril gave some recipes to NASA for an epi. NASA reworked them, and provisioned them on shuttle flights, if asked.

They were, nut expensive for the little kid I was. My big brother got a paper route and he bought a pack. Peanut butter.

They better have pemmican bars. Why change what has worked for centuries for long outings and where nothing else is available. Hardtack too.

Stupid. No one’s taking food on a long trip...

Growing food is idiotic on a space craft at this point in time. Lets do that when there is enough mass on a vehicle to generate some gravity.

Why change...

Because they are vegans who refuse to recognize we're naturally omnivores.
