Nutrient paste meals have advantages over meals prepared by a cook. The greatest advantage is that it is extremely efficient on food reserves. It only consumes 0.3 nutrition worth of ingredients to produce a meal with 0.9 nutrition, whereas fine meals or pemmican use 0.5 nutrition to provide the same amount.
A second less important advantage is that nutrient paste meals never cause food poisoning, while meals prepared by a cook always have a chance of causing food poisoning.
Colonists will prefer eating a simple meal or berries instead of using the dispenser. Using a fueled stove, an electric stove or even a campfire provides better meals.
