[quote="fatalman"]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.
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.
"The worker has the right to leave his boss, but can she do it? And if she does quit him, is it in order to lead a free life; where she will have no master but herself? No, she leaves to sell herself to another employer. She's driven by the same hunger. Thus the worker's liberty is only a theoretical freedom, lacking any means of realization; an utter falsehood."
