annefood 9yr @manfood what are your thoughts?

darkchocolatepeanutbutter 9yr These food options are most likely not for people who sit in coach and if they are, they will be quite expensive. I'm still bringing my own sandwiches.

manfood 9yr I like the bringing a sandwich idea. If they are sourcing the food well it may bring more awareness to our food system- voting with dollars so to speak.

JenniferEmilson 9yr I'll bring my own sandwich, thank you! I'll spend my money on a drink! 😉

annefood 9yr Yes very true @darkchocolatepeanutbutter about this having the most direct impact on fist class passengers but I'm hopeful that it will help begin to create a different culture around food and travel in general. Maybe we will see better options in economy for purchasable snacks down the line. Though they definitely aren't cheap, some more healthful offerings would help on those flights when we aren't prepared!

DietID_TeamDietitians 9yr As someone who travels quite often airline food is something I am increasingly obsessed with. I agree that most of these changes aren't helping the civilian traveler paying his own fare, but it's a step toward getting bigger institutional buyers supporting better producers. The junk I've had to eat at at airport is deplorable so in glad change is under way. I just hope Danny Meyer is thinking beyond business class. Would love @KyleMcCullers to weigh in

JenniferEmilson 9yr I think as lovely as better food at reasonable prices would be on a flight, short haul flights aren't the issue. It's the longer overseas flights where more than likely, you are at the mercy of the airline. I mean, not too many of us will bring dinner and breakfast for a flight to London or Germany. Then we really are forced to eat what they provide. Basically institution food. Unless you're flying UAE etc. If you shouldn't have tea or coffee due to bacteria on a plane, then how can the food be any better?

garv That's quite a read. I'm weaning myself off sugar after December debauchery, admittedly it's not easy.

annefood

annefood You can do it @garv !

garv Thanks @annefood . Weaning myself off sugar , refined flour etc. Priming myself for the real food challenge. It's the first challenge that I gave up midway.

Delta and Danny Meyer aim to improve airline food. What do you eat when you travel?
