Has any Starfleet officer ever finished a meal?

WTF? Why was Data eating?

Data was probably eating to emulate a human activity and try to 'fit in', I'd wager.

I wonder why he doesn't change his skin tone and eye colour then.

Exactly what would he do with the food he ate?

Perhaps his...er...Stomach like thing can completely dissolve it...

Hmm, some sort of highly corrosive fluid should do the trick.

He'd still need to get rid of the waste IE: shitte it out somehow.

That brings "fully functional" to a whole new level that I'm not too happy with.

I'm not sure how to put this properly... he doesn't feel that part is necessary? Most sentient beings consume for energy, but they look different. So maybe he figures being pale-skinned and golden-eyed isn't too bad.

Perhaps, it seems at odds with the often stated wish to be human or more human like but an important part of humanity is that your an individual after all.

Yeah, and Data's had a few opportunities to become human, but turned them down. So perhaps he just doesn't feel it's necessary.

(well, Data still needs a pulse and needs to breathe. Why not.. hum.. extract out the excessive biological elements?)

anyway. I've seen people complete their meal more than once in DS9! The times Sisko invited peoples over to dinner, or when they were at the replimat, or at Quark's!

On the other hand, maybe it'S because the Prophets wanted the Niners to be well fed.. I think the temporal anomaly still kicks in

Well people is StarFleet never get a lot of exercise so they cant eat to much.
