Methods of Eating
• Since the food has been dehydrated, before eating, the astronaut must re-hydrate his/her meal
• If the meal is not rehydrated, it is not even considered edible

Whats on the Menu?
• Astronauts can dine on beef stroganoff, chicken teriyaki to turkey tetrazzini
• The astronauts meal plan is decided by themselves well before their anticipated shuttle launch
• The astronauts food is attached to his meal tray, which is attached to his lap, so nothing floats freely in 0 gravity

• Although many normal kinds of foods would be unable to last the duration of the time the astronauts are in orbit, there are a few exceptions
• Assorted nuts, granola bars, and cookies are for instance some of the more normal foods that can be brought on board

In Conclusion• All in all, we can say the quality of dining must
be sacrificed in order for a human to enjoy the marvels of space
• Perhaps meal choices, and the quality of meals can be improved in the future, but for now, space travel itself is the biggest issue on the table
