Default Really healthy places to eat in airports

Disclaimer:I am a believer in Organic foods being healthier than "normal" food and eat veggies primarily however I am not a vegetarian or vegan...just close...

For the rest of the health conscience pilots out there what are the healthiest places to eat while at the airport?

My favorite place to eat by far is French Meadow Bakery at MSP. They hae a great menu full of organic food as well as an attached bakery with tons of healthy snacks. I stop and eat there every time I am at the airport.

I used to wait for a mesa jet to pull up then raid the catering drawer. FA's didn't care they give that crap away just to **** JO off.

I doubt you'll find organic at the airport.

Paradise Bakery (in PHX and one other airport which I can't recall) has good food and lots of salad options. Huge crew discount too.

SFO has lots of good eats ($$$) in the UAL area.

Not for any health reasons...just traditions...I always like to stop at the Cheers at CLT. Is that still around? Been a long while since I've been there. Umm...I tend to not eat at the airport itself. I like to get out and eat elsewhere. There's a good afghan place just down the road from DCA.

Hey, same here! I was raised on 100% scratch made Italian, Greek and Mediterranean food so I've got a big appetite for organic veggies. I'm always looking for a place that has "real food" when I'm traveling. I've never gone to MSP but I'm sure I'll be making some trips there in the future. Thanks for the info!
