  The food replicators converted energy directly into food the same way transporters convert a person from matter into energy and then back again. What he was describing was a completely different type of process likely mechanical and chemical in nature.

  Note he did not say one of the things they turned waste into was food.

    Enterprise is the one Trek show I haven’t managed to finish, so I’ll have to take your word for it. I always assumed “food” was getting glossed over with that bashful “you name it”.
