Why can't astronauts eat normal food like a bowl of pasta and a salad?

There are multiple videos on different websites detailing the efforts of ground crew nutritionists who design food for astronauts aboard the International Space Station.

Bread is not allowed because it creates crumbs, but pita bread is OK, as is soft tortillas.

One can eat the salad if wrapped in a soft tortilla shell.

They have steak on the International Space Station, and they have peanut butter, jam, sauces and all kinds of sauces.

Dried fruit (fresh fruit only lasts a few days, so they're eaten quickly after delivery) and granola bars are popular, but dry cereals like Kellogg's Corn Flakes don't make the cut.

They have banana bread and because it can be packaged to preserve, it doesn't stick together like bread.

They even have toothpaste in tubes like the ones you and I use on Earth, and they use the same toothbrush I do.

I think they had cake one time to celebrate an anniversary or something.

This YouTube video contains just one or two bad apples from "people who know the truth" about the International Space Station and conspiracy theories, focusing on the European Space Agency video.

Kurt Kelly chews on lettuce grown in space. There's a wealth of information on space food that's not freeze-dried but vacuum-sealed to keep it fresh (think about it for yourself). Some foods can last up to 18 months without refrigeration.

They even have an ISSE espresso machine now (ESA's Samantha Christoforetti has installation instructions on the ground, but she doesn't really need them since Samantha Christoforetti designed it herself).

Samantha Cristoforetti - YouTube - I'd better include this search result too. Samantha had a whole basket of food specially designed for Russian tastes - all handpicked by her.
