And wasn't there an episode in the Next Gen where the dr beamed someone back aboard using an earlier version of them that was stored in the memory of the transporter in order to avoid some disease? Anyway, I thought, hmmm... why don't they just do that every time someone's injured or sick in Star Trek? Just beam up an earlier, healthier, more intact version of them. Sick bay might go on strike, though. And yes, the 'food in pill form' sounds awful, although, perhaps, preferable to soylent green. My personal sci-fi pet peeve: those incredibly uncomfortable beds that they always have, often without a decent pillow or sheets. What's with that? You make an excellent point about Bones!
