Depiction of food choices
The film 2001 opens with scenes of proto-humans eating, both plants that they gather and eventually animals who they kill. When the movie shifts to modern-day, food continues to be included. It is served aboard the Orion shuttle, distributed on the moonbase shuttle, and selected (dispensed) and eaten by the Discovery crew. The closing minutes include the aging Bowman eating and drinking off fine china and from crystal goblets.

ORION: On the Orion, products are packaged in uniform cartons labeled with pictures and served from a compartmentalized tray. The food contents are sipped through a short plastic straw.

MOONBASE: Nondescript sandwiches, wrapped and labled, with some running comments.

DISCOVERY: different food pastes that are disensed from a station, some hot. adhere to the eating utensil
