Food and the holodeck

[prometheus 0]

Remember "Elementary Dear Data"? Pulaski sits and eats lots of crumpets? Well. When she leaves the holodeck, do they disappear out of her tummy B) ?

 

What I mean is, is the food on the holodeck holographic or replicated? I would chose to believe replicated.

 

But then, wouldnt that make replicator rationing on Voyager silly, since the holodecks were never off on the flippin ship?

 

And, if the food is holographic then could you go into the holodeck and binge eat, and then walk out the same size as when you went in? Bolemic program 3 please....

...or.... what if you go into the holodeck, change your clothes, forget you're wearing hologram clothing, and then leave the holodeck... with your clothing behind.

Better yet... steal the Holo-Doc's mobile emitter and parade arround as the captain! B)

First, the Holodeck works on a combination of forcefields and replicators. So the food would probably be replicated.

 

Second, the Holodeck runs on a different type of power so it couldn't be used for the replicators.

 

Since there is an obvious contradiction here, the most logical solution is the the holodeck just replicates imitation food.

instead of a lunc box a mobile emitter.... so if your ever lost with the doc YAY no starving!
