08. Will we be able to eat normally? Can we float and eat at the same time? If we are floating and the food is floating, how will we manage? Will we have to be strapped down while we eat? (NP) (A K2S Question)

From The Space Library

Food can float around in space like anything else, so we eat it very carefully. We eat from plastic pouches, in which we cut small slits, and we often eat slightly sticky foods so that they will stick together and stick to our forks. We don't have to strap ourselves down to eat, but it certainly helps!
