What time is your flight?
Not sure what you mean by "fresh" meals, but if you mean the sandwiches and salads, then yes, they still have those in economy.
As I learned the hard way on a recent ORD-SFO flight that departed after 8:00pm, though, they only have the "snacks" available after 8:00pm. And I believe up until a certain time in the morning, they only have the breakfast stuff. If I remember correctly, the DFW-JFK flight is midday, so you should be fine, I think.

Your profile also indicates you're an EXP which means you get a complimentary fresh food item and alcoholic beverage when flying in Economy anyways.

You could also enjoy FL in JFK. DFW/JFK is hard to get upgraded (Domestic F sold out, or CK got first).

service was excellent. PDB was "water, OJ or anything else". Warm nuts and the two entree choices were the cheesy enchilada or the salad with shrimps on the side. I chose the latter and a cold rice side was served along with a selection of warmed breads. I passed on dessert which appeared to be lemon sort of tart.
The 738 was a TWA liveried aircraft (the 2nd plane that is) and was very warm during the duration.
Im at e FL now and it really is a beautiful club. I asked for two premium chits but didn't need them as its all self serve. 4 different hot dishes mostly rice, pasta, chicken and/or a combo of both. I did not eat as I'll be eating soon on the 789 to LHR.
