The contents of the snack box aren't bad, just so long as one doesn't confuse it with, err, actual food.
Yesterday, I did TUS-SEA in paid-F. For a three hour flight, that is scheduled to leave at 12:30pm, one would think there would be a "meal" on the flight. I was a little shocked (as were a couple other pax, and the FA) that the "meal" was a cheese plate--with two pieces of cheese and a couple grapes. I didn't ask for a snack box, since it didn't sound that appetizing. I was taken aback when they told us it was only a cheese plate since it wasn't considered a lunch flight. The soup at the SEA board room made up for the lack of food though.
