Yes, but they have limited keeping times - certainly limited to that
of dried fish and meat, though.. I don't exct that to be problem wither.

But of course, in realty, most humans eat un unbalanced and unhealthy
(in way too many ways) diet. Only a small minority manage to develop
serious problems over the timeline of a couple of years. More importantly,
simulation studies are quite easy to carry out down here on Earth.

Its a classical case of way over-complicating and way over-engineering
something just because of "space". Why should the astronauts eat way more
healily up there than down here?
