Dangers of Airline Food - How to
Eat Healthy While Flying - Avoiding High Fat, High Calorie,
and High Sodium Airline Meals
Airline food can be very unhealthy. Many contain far more fat and
calories and sodium than the worst fast food restaurant meals. But you,
the traveler, generally can't tell which airline are the most unhealthy.
Because two-thirds of Americans are concerned about getting
healthy, high-quality food that is high in nutritional value and low in
cholesterol and fat, ASH has compiled information and links about the dangers
of airline foods, which meals are the most unhealthy (by meal type as well
as by airline), and what passengers can do to protect their own health
and the health of their families while flying.
Some experts recommend ordering special meals, but you still have
to know which ones are available, and which ones are healthiest for you.
That's why this special page was created
As a public service, Action on Smoking and Health (ASH), a 36-year
old legal-action charitable organization entirely supported by tax-deductible
contributions, has put together all of this valuable information.
