Why did the voyager crew not eat on the holodeck?
As was established, the holodecks had their own isolated power supply, and they were able to replicate objects when it was more sensible than constructing it out of forcefields.
They also used the holodecks all the time.
So why did they not eat on the holodecks, instead of rationing actual replicator use?
