I provided you with an actual photograph with a quote that’s clearly showing that holographic food isn’t real, as otherwise Quark wouldn’t need to offer the person real food.
You’re just saying “trust me bro, it’s definitely real food”
Sure, TNG has like water leaving the holodeck as wet people can walk out. But Voyager contradicts those notions.
Like I’ve said, the holo-tech is just beyond inconsistent and should not be anyones idea of “hard” scifi. The explanations contradict each other from one episode to the next and especially from one show to the next. It’s soft scifi and I’m completely fine with that. Are you?

No you didn’t. You showed a photograph of Quark complaining about giving away free stuff. Other sources from Star Trek episodes themselves have verbally explained the holodeck replicates.

Go watch Encounter at Farpoint again.
Yeah true screenshot not a photo.
Anyway, it’s very clearly stated in it that it’s real food that he’s providing, with a strong implication that otherwise it’d be holographic.
But I think most of what you have is pure conjecture.
You know, because the holodecks are about as scientific as the TARDIS.
Which you just refuse to admit, despite the various contradictions one can just rattle a list of.
