(A good place to check is the AA Forum glossary: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/6629120-post5.html)

The full list of premium cabin meal services:

AFS = American Flagship Service (2-class or 3-class nonstop transcon service)
IFS = International Flagship Service (to/from Europe, Asia, India, and Deep South America [Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, and Chile])
HFS = Hawaiian Flagship Service
LFS = Latin Flagship Service (South America short-haul: Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, and Peru)

Other premium cabin meal services are considered "basic" or "basic plus" depending on market, including domestic [non-transcon], Canada, Mexico, Bermuda, the Bahamas, the Caribbean, and Central America. LFS is not much different from "basic plus" in that it includes typical domestic setup/entree, with the addition of a very minimal pre-arrival snack--usually fruit/cheese or some kind of muffin for redeyes.

(Bolivia is technically IFS, along with Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, and Chile, but I wouldn't fork over an eVIP or miles+copay to upgrade to J unless the equipment is the 75L.)
