Maybe food would be totally unnecessary if you could get decent food at a
decent price at airports. The last time I flew (Buffalo to Denver) we had a
one hour flight to Cleveland, a short layover and then three hours to Denver.
I could have done without the meal we were served, if you could call it a
meal. Come to think of, I can't think of any meal that I have had on a plane
that was worth eating.
