Once you finish your food you can use the lavatory before everyone starts to queue up for it. So it's a double plus
i used to do this, but recently the standard meals have been better so i stopped, also, many people on this forum claim that pre-selecting a meal harms your chances of a free upgrade. like for example, they seem to just serve all the special meal orders a rubbish cucumber and lettuce sandwich (the vege option) even if your special meal isnt a vege option for the "light snack" meal on flights while others get a chicken or tuna sandwich.
