If you don't like airline food, you'll probably have the same impression of space station food. I would not fly to space for the food.

The food isn't too bad. It's very different from the food that the astronauts ate in the very early days of the space program.

I think someday, out in space, perhaps, some people might be able to grow some of their own food or hopefully on another planet.

Keeping your space clean is as much a part of the end result as the dish being tasty.

If you gave kids peas that didn't look like peas and said they were a space shuttle, they're much more apt to eat them because it's now playtime.

Food can bring people together in a way nothing else could.

A lot of what you see in the supermarket I would argue is not really food. It's what I call edible, food-like substances.

Clean, tasty, real foods do not come processed in boxes or bags; they come from the earth, the sea, the field, or the farm.

There are improbable things suspended in space, like the earth.

I eat bags and bags of cashews. I've got them in the kitchen, and about ten feet away I've got another bowl on the kitchen table. In my backpack, I've always got a bag of cashews. I started eating them in the airports because that's the one food that you can find in every airport that's actually nutritious.
