it isn't anyone's intention to add non-kosher components to the vegetables, its not like wrapping carrots in ham and then undoing it onto one's plate. The intent isn't there so its still covered.

If you want to live by ridiculous (strict veganism, strict kashrut, nothing that 0.1 ppb of peanut, strict halal, etc) rules then go right ahead. CO shouldn't have to accomodate that on every flight they serve food on. It is reasonable to say that if you are going to choose to follow a very strict set of rules that you can provide for yourself. Airlines shouldn't have to account for every variation of desire/need.
