Likewise, if you are diabetic or have other dietary requirements for your health, you would want to choose your airline carefully or bring your own food on with you. However, for the occasional flyer, having too many calories or fats in a snack a few times a year is hardly cause to choose another airline. Most people don't rely on the airlines to provide our daily vitamin and caloric intake.
