    I think it would take much more energy to grow the food they need than to just replicate it. That said, if I was stuck for 7 years in space, fresh fruits and vegetables would be the cheapest form of therapy.

      If they needed more energy to grow food than to replicate it, replication would be so dirt-cheap that nothing would make any sense.
