After seeing all the possiblities of this question, I don't think
anyone proposed this solution to the food cassettes. 

What if the cassetes were not cassettes at all  but food packettes. 
These food packettes are compressed meal totally containing the food
the requester wants.  They stick this packette in and the machine adds
water making a instant meal.  (French Chief eat your heart out)

The only draw back to this solution is - how did the tribbles
get into the food processor in the "Trouble with Tribbles" (My favorite
episode)?

		bon appettite!!!!
