Not sure if non-vegetarians can fully understand this, but I understand your point about waste of time in trying to get more.
Could the FAs have put together a meal with a salad and some of the side vegetables - even Y meals come with a salad and some sides in addition to the fish, poultry or meat.

Did you discuss what could be provided?
