Reply to comment by fartfilledpieofpenis in TIL that beans are banned in Spacecraft because they can produce "1-3 cups of flatus" in an environment where there are no windows by April_Spring_1982
Crumbs from bread could get into (I believe) the oxidizer (don't quote me this is all from memory at 4 AM) which could then set fire to it and cause a complete destruction of the craft
It was something along those lines, like it's not just that there are little bits of food going around, it's cause of a severe danger - same reason why space pens were invented instead of just using pencils, cause those bits of lead you wipe away after writing don't just go away in space, they get sucked into the ventilation and fuck shit up
