5 dollars for a fruit cup. 6 dollars for some almonds. the prices are outrageous, but what other options do i have.
(just felt like venting)

Yeah. That sucks.
What's worked best for us is to pack meals before we go. However, that's only happened 3 out of the last 5 times. We just aren't that on top of things most of the time.
Then we pay out our arses.

i really should try packing a meal. but the hard thing about that is this. flying from cali to the east coast is usually a 12 hour ordeal. and when i am up at 4 i am generally not hungry. so i would have to pack like 3 meals in that time. and plus, who wants to make food at 4am?
maybe i should try more prepackaged raw bars. those seem to work well.

Airports suck more for ruining the quality of life for those unlucky enough to live under the increasingly busy flight paths

Most of the meals we've packed are for the long flights (from Michigan to Chile: 16 hours in the air), where we have to pack at least four meals and some snacks for us, and the kids (whom are vegan too).
We just pack the night before. Not the morning of. We end up bringing a whole carryone size bag choke full of nuts (for domestic flights only), sandwiches, bars, fruits (again, domestic only), breads, rices, beans, etc.
...and like I've said, we've only done that when we've been organized. It is NOT easy to be that prepared. Luckily, it is for the shorter flights (Michigan to Cali) that we've not been so prepared.
I think that even omnivores have this problem. All airport food is overpriced, and few airlines carry food standard any more.
