A good cold salad from many takeaway places and grocery stores is better than 90% of airplane meals.

While I agree the food is not good, the challenges of creating thousands of meals all across the country, packaged up in trays, carts, trucks, loaders, etc., hours before being needed, and then having only the resources on an airplane flying at 30K feet to "cook" them, and being given a budget of about $9/person, is probably a bit more challenging than whipping up a meal in your kitchen with your $30 in groceries from Whole Foods and transporting it to your dinner table.
