I understand why United would choose to have one or two comfort food options, but all three does not make sense to me. American and Delta have pulled ahead of United, in that regard.
Unfortunately, I think the point is that junk food sells. I too would prefer healthier options but they tend to be more perishable and given the choice on an 'anonymous' airplane, I am confident lots of people are willing to make worse decisions than they otherwise would on the ground!
