That must be why he has strained against getting a promotion all these years. Some might poo poo his strategies but why should he give a crap about that? He's got rations for brains!

Operations Officer is in part is the classic job of quartermaster.
Logically, it's Kim's job to allocate weekly replicator rations. (Yes, really.)
How the person from the power company checks your meter every three months to make sure that your estimated bill is spot on with your actual power consumption... Kim weighs everyone's shit.
Maybe he can do this from the comfort of his own room, on a PADD, or maybe he has to knock on everyone's door, be let in, and then he reads a gage on the side of their replicator that they have in no way, even the terrorist scum, fiddled with or rolled forward.
In a closed system, there would be diminishing returns, especially if for every new set of boots they make, they have to eat less, or defecate more to avoid a deficit in their diet... Neelix gives away free food. Neelix makes crew poo. Neelix can control the consistency and weight of the crap coming out of people. If this is a free market, Neelix would have a dab hand on his menu choices. If everything is a little soviet, then the Operations Officer would have a word with the kitchen rat about when he is expected to serve soup and when he is allowed to serve curried mutton to keep pace with power consumption vs. power surpluses on the ship.
Oh.
What about Seven of Nine?
She was there for almost 2 years before she had a bowel movement.

She started eating almost immediately in Raven,
I'm really not in command of as many facts as I used to be.

I had thought it was much, much later.

Congratulations. Not once, in over 16 years, did I ever think I would be commenting on Seven of Nine taking a shit.
This is a real concern.
Look at the quote I supplied above.
For her first poop in 18 years, it would have been on the holodeck and she would have needed a slightly modified midwife hologram to coach her through the process, if she was sensible.

As the EMH was the surgeon who dug out her fallow poopshoot, he's way too complicit to be allowed in the room, without being risked becoming a murder victim.
Probably just safer to give her some laxatives (or Neelix's Leola root stew) and let nature take its course...
TMNT wasn't big at all when that episode aired.
It's a dumb episode that wasn't well written, but I have to ask. You've been a fan of Star Trek this long, you must have a highly evolved suspension of disbelief. But you can't suspend disbelief that dinosaurs became sentient? That's not even close to the most absurd thing that Star Trek asks you to accept.
The episode wasn't a cynical ploy to cash in on upright walking reptiles. It was a fun kitschy idea that was poorly executed.
No no, when 7 plugged herself into the Borg alcove there was always this 'cher-chink' noise, like she had just plugged herself into something. This was obviously the borg poop-chute.
The Borg don't eat solid food, so what little they poop is unlikely to be so solid that a sphincter would be unusable.
It's more likely that a new port would outright be created than a lengthy surgical renovation project was made of every bugger and his dog's anus.
Yes, their biological bits need nutrients beyond a regeneration alcove zapping them with magic science buzziness, but what if the digestive process could be jimmied to create useful waste?
Food juice goes in, bio-fuel comes out.

Whatchu talking about willis? I know Jeri's implants were Seven's harddrives.
Thing is, Arex in The Animated Series had three legs, and he got supplied with three-legged pants.
Clearly in the Federation one size doesn't fit all.
It does make one wonder: do three-legged aliens have two buttcracks? And two buttholes? And two of everything else hanging in-between?
See, the technical guides waste perfectly good copy telling us the harmonic resonance of a warp field coil all the way down to the decimal point, but important stuff like this we're left in the dark about.
But M'Ress had a human uniform with it's butflap open so that her tail could waft out and wag.
Heehee, I think every incarnation of Trek has more than a couple inherently silly concepts. TNG got evolution extremely wrong, Kirk fought giant amoebas and space hands, Quark and Rom visited Area 51, and Riker is supposedly a good trombone player. Space dinosaurs seem almost quaint in comparison.
But.. I loved Area 51
