Wrong at least when it comes to Kosher and Halal, CO or any Carrier for that matter does NOT make its own it purchases them from an outside vendor.

I was just at a supermaket
where I could have purchased a Kosher TV Diner that meets everyones standards it was a Meat meal like those that are served on the Intl flights except w/o the tray and dessert which is nothing anyway. It retailed for $6.19 as we all know that its cheaper per piece when one purchases say 4 Ice Cream cones in a box that are NOT labeled for individual sales, then 4 pieces that are, as the 4 in a box usually comes in white wrapping. Same can be said for any multi-package of almost anything.

My point is Im sure if it cost me $6 in a supermaket it costs CO alot less.And the one in the supermarket weighs alot more then what CO would serve me to boot.

I see what CO serves on my tray when I can get my special meal and what it serves on the reg trays , theres alot more stuff on the reg tray, so it could be that they allow only X amount to be spent per meal.

To all of you who say its too costly, why not write CO and ask that they ELIMATE all meals as that for sure will help CO stay in the air alot longer as a profitable concern, you go brown bag it and then tell me how great it is to do.
