So I'm watching a video where they try to pin a real-world value onto gold-pressed latinum, and a comment makes me think...
in the context of tng voyager etc the replicated food is stated to not taste as good because it's altered to be healthy which loses taste
PNQ: Did they ever say that?
I'm having trouble accepting this notion. In today's world we know that the technology to make healthy food taste good doesn't work because most of what makes food taste good is either sugar or fat, neither of which are healthy.
