It's the legally defined limits that I found funny, not the unavoidability.

I wonder if after a century of only eating replicated food people start developing intolerances for bacterias they no longer ingest regularly. I bet that is totally the case.
You think shit should be unlimited?
Actually these bacteria are inside your body, you don't need to ingest them. Plus all the processed food you buy at the supermarket is sterilized already.
I mean the bad ones that we cope with just fine because we are used to them. The molds we don't see on food, the higher levels of bacteria we eat in that roadside hamburger than we legally should.
There are those among us that don't eat this crap and we are doing just fine.
Dude you do eat all kinds of things that you have no idea of including molds and bacterias that do not live in your body. You have been eating things like this your entire life. You have built up tolerances and immunities to it which is why you might go somewhere new and the water might give you a funny tummy for a bit and not bother the locals, and then after a while it won't bother you either.
Eliminating these things from your diet entirely via living only on replicated foods will eventually lead to a more delicate constitution. Of course because it's the future all the magic medicine can take care of that.

What makes you think that they are not aware of that and don't compensate with weekly injections of... sewer water for example?
I'm sure they can compensate if needs be, just as they would do if you went to another planet. I'm just speculating on the wussifying effect of living on the manicured theme park earth of the future.
Are you saying that the lack of hygiene was actually a good thing and that by taking showers and wearing clean clothes, we may have "wussifyied" ourselves?
The current population is unsustainable.
Less to no hand washing over the last hundred years would have left a billion supermen and superwomen in command of the planet who are immune to most everything we are afraid of.

According to TOS, radiation poisoning due to nuclear holocaust leads to people living one thousand years after a time.
Which just brings us back to nuking the whales again.
To increase the health of the species, without melting a few hundred million people, nuking the oceans seems like the most cost effective method of doubling the ambient radiation levels globally.

I dunno. I like my seafood.
Oh wait REPLICATORS. Gah, so inevitable.

Oh no, not only will your seafood increase 1/2 a million times in mass per unit, but it will grow legs and come to you.
BBQed Godzilla?
Yum.

Tender baby squid the size of a Jeep. Yes. Yes.
Can you make leather from sealife?
Whaleskin boots... Sharkskin boots?
It'd solve all the homelessness problems.
Hollow it out for a months dinner, and what's left over is a tent.

How much money do you think Lando could make from exporting Ewok slippers?
Ewoks are cannibals, so the thousands of Ewok corpses littering the moon of Endor were already going to be turned into footwear and tiny ponchos, so why not turn a profit?
