In the big picture, I’m grateful to take a flight and safely make it home. No big delays – no turbulence. Thank you!
But you know, healthy food is my thing, so when the airline stewards roll the snack cart up and down the aisle and offer bags of peanuts, peanut butter crackers and/or cookies, I get ticked off.
‘They’ keep telling us that we are an obese nation. Fat is an epidemic. Then why don’t the big corporations take a lead? (Well, we know why.) Still, the airline industry could offer small boxes of raisins, a mini-bag of apple chips (just found a new brand – fruit ripples). Even baked chips would be an improvement.
I know that healthy choices cost more, but I’d be willing to pay an extra dollar or two. It would be worth it just to hear the stewardess say, “Would you like a box of raisins or dried apple chips with your carrot juice?”
Imagine … a healthy nation.
