(Yes, we are one of those families that ask to pre-board to wipe down seats due to peanut allergies. We also ask people in neighboring seats to refrain from eating peanuts and tree nuts. We also offer a multitude of comparable snacks to those affected, as well as offer to purchase a BoB snack box if necessary.)

I would never trust airline catering (or even FAs) with preventing cross-contamination. Accidental cross-contamination on the ground is one thing; it can pose much more risks when a few miles in the air.
So does Miss Swede -- with the added bonus that she's allergic to sesame so she can't even have the Mezze plate. We'll just continue to brown bag it for her on flights. We have also purchased snack boxes in the past.

Luckily for my son, X-contamination is generally not a major issue for him (nothing Benadryl won't fix) provided there aren't "chunks" of egg falling into his food. A simple shared surface or unwashed hand isn't life threatening to him (thank goodness).

The law requiring chains to post calories and other info recently went into effect (after an extensive delay by the current admin). I wonder how airlines were written into the law? A big point of contention was bowling alleys and movie theaters.

When you book your tickets, you have an option of preordering your meals. Especially for international flights. I usually hit the Priority Pass restaurants and eat before I travel. If I have time, I would get a Thai chicken pad see eew and eat that on the plane. The crew are sometimes are nice enough to warm it up for me.

I'm surprised you don't work out during the flight:

No word yet from UA on whether pull up bars can be used in the lav to maintain 24 pack abs

I guess that if you are really concerned about calories, don't eat everything that is put in front of you. I am certain that everyone here is smart enough to know what is or isn't calorie or sodium rich.

UA hot food is generally too salty and often inedible. BOB burgers are exception. I now try to eat better at restaurants before-after flight. I often find myself with inflight intermittent fasting situations for the many instances of lousy food. I have often done intermittent fasting from 5hr transcons, to a few times 13hr ex-USA transpacific flights. This week I struggled for first time to achieve the 16/8hr intermittent fasting goal on sfo-Singapore flight, but the tasty Singapore food upon arrival really helped me get through.
I find ex-Asia catering have less salty and better tasting food, but can’t be sure if more nutritious than ex-USA catering.

Please, please, please bring the oil and vinegar back. The pomegranate dressing ingredient list is massive, mostly unpronounceable and full of chemicals. It’s also far too sweet for my taste.

If you are talking about the mini bottles that were almost impossible to open at first, they were back on my SIN-SFO flight last Sunday.
