The TSA allows a reasonably sized bag of consumable food in addition to the "one plus one" carryons. In fact, this has been the case since October, 2001 when the ridiculous carry-on policy was implemented by Mineta.

I've never had any problems with my "snack-bag" - the ticket-checker at security usually asks if it is food. I say "yes" and they allow it.
