Nutritional food for thought

According to a report in The New York Times, airlines are starting to offer healthier in-flight meals.
While domestic flights do not generally offer full meals apart from the odd snack or maybe a light meal for transcontinental routes, long-haul airlines continue to differentiate themselves from the competition with their menus.

In fact, several of the larger carriers now have tie-ins with well-known chefs to demonstrate their commitment to the quality of in-flight services, particularly in the premium seats.
British Airways is one such airline, working with Thai chefs from the Chiva-Som spa resort to create healthier and more varied options.

"If you fly a lot, [unhealthy eating] does become an issue," Ian Ruddle, a partner at New York's Deloitte Consulting told The New York Times.
"On international flights they are clearly trying harder. But if it's a heavy meal, you have to worry about how you are going to feel when you're in that meeting the next morning."
According to one industry analyst, a typical premium offering on an airline menu – a steak dinner – can contain more than 2,000 calories, prompting calls for more obvious displays of nutritional information across the board.
