Wonderful Airline Food aka SOS

"Bacteria fly free". That was the headline stories in one of the leading NY newspapers today about the wonderful food served along with the wonderful service on most airlines. Additionally,  USA Today (another paper) said this is a recipe for a serious--even deadly-food poisoning disaster.   It seems that some of the violations from Federal Inspection reports say that two of the world's biggest airline caterers and another major prepared food provider, which together pump out more than 100 million meals per year are the biggest culprits.  And to think we are only talking of major US carriers. The F & D administration has reported roaches, flies, mouse droppings along with filthy equipment and workers with unwashed hands.  Smile the next time you see one of those Sky Chef trucks next to your plane before takeoff.  Well, at least the FDA is aware of this and being a wonderful, efficient government organization something will be done right away ??????? Oh, even I can't write such bull shit without laughing to myself.  WTF is wrong with all major industries ????? The auto industry is trying to kill all of us with cars that don't work.  The Airline industry is trying to kill us by poisoning our food, late arrivals, ridiculous extra charges, poor service, high prices, crowded flight with no one giving a shit.....OK ....you get the picture.
     But there is some good news about airline food......It is almost non existent with the exception of international flights and first class.  Maybe that is a good thing, although judging from those 100 million meals, there is food being served somewhere.
     So the next time you only get a bag of chips and a soft drink............Be Happy..........Don't Worry......You may just save yourself many hours in the bathroom along with severe stomach pains. But  a special thank you to the Airline Industry for taking what used to be a wonderful way to travel and turning it into a fucken nightmare........But you win for now........or at least until we figure out how to get one of those Iron Man thingies that make you fly.
