Trying to argue on the basis of photosynthesis being inefficient doesn't really help, I mean sure PV is more efficient in energy conversion, but you can't eat electricity. So given they'd be eating plants anyway, eating ones that have not been shot up the gravity well is probably more efficient.

My point was that for the current ISS, you're talking about designing, building, launching, and attaching more infrastructure.
