I haven't eaten a crew meal in damn near a year now. The only reason I even care if it's on board is if I get to expense actual food later.

That's nice.

Not all of us want to live on Onnit pills or carry a cooler around for a week.

Unless you are on a widebody and stuck in the plane for 10+ hours, there is always time to stop and get something healthy. 45 minutes turn with an aircraft swap at a distant gate...... stop and get a salad, they'll wait. A protein bar will hold you for the first leg if it's too early and restaurants aren't open. The irregular hours that we keep with this job are unhealthy enough. Adding a poor diet and lack of exercise to the mix is why so many of our pilots are fat.

Or just eat the crew meal.

On point. Our collective personal standards are embarrassingly low.
