Ensign, you are relieved of duty and are to report to the Counselor immediately for mental evaluation.
On the one hand: no matter what you replicate it’s ethical, nutritious, and good for you. There are literally no bad choices for your body.
On the other: you have access to a bottomless culinary database that spans innumerable diets, cultures, broad swaths of history… and you order Chef Boyardee’s finest with a few saltines.

But what if I want to eat trash food that’s bad for my body to punish myself for having the audacity to continue to exist?

Fine, fine. Guess I’ll just go lick the warp core!
Struggle meals have a charm, honestly. Its simple, if I had billions of dollars I’d still eat it.

Hmm, tastes like tauntaun.
Needs potato chips.
Computer: “Counselor Troi has been notified.”
Captain, the ship’s computer shows that replicator comfort meals are up a whopping %4000. I think you should reconsider your “always on red alert” crew readyness policy.

Saltines, eh? I may need to try that sometime…
Can imagine my ex asking “Computer, open can of raviolis, room temperature”.
