Because there's not enough snack for everyone on the plane. Also, who's going to secure the basket before/after the door has been opened? Is the FA going to hold the basket until it ran empty, and then what?

Why they didn't serve the 2nd meal even the turbulence is not heavy at all? Were they just afraid the turbulence will happen because there were Moderate to Severe turbulences around EWR?
Why was the seatbelt sign off after the announcement? They should have served the meals when the seatbelt sign is turned off.

On UA78 from NRT-EWR today (4/16) and the crew just announced that they were not going to serve the 2nd meal (breakfast) due to turbulence in any cabin. While the last few hours of the flight has continuous light chop I have had meals served (on UA and other airlines) with much worse and the cabin crew has been up working during the entire time the meal would have been served. Has anyone else experienced this, the crew announced it fairly nonchalantly as if they were skipping drink service ORD-MSP? While it would be great for UA to had out meal vouchers upon arrival at EWR I doubt that will happen. It seems that leaving 300 some passengers to fend for themselves for food upon landing after a 12 hr flight is a pretty big service failure.
