After visiting for Easter, I put my diabetic, elderly aunt on a American Eagle flight from Dallas/Love Field to Chicago. Even for this short flight (about 2 1/2 hours). My partner and I made sure she had with her, a sandwich(leftover Easter Ham makes great sandwiches), some chips and other things in a lunch bag for her. Due to her being in a wheelchair I was able to get a gate pass to go to gate with her and even at little old Love Field I was able to purchase her a bottle of OJ and water to take with her on the plane.
So its not impossible to make sure you have stuff to eat.
Also I seem to remeber back in the day when airlines serviced food comics and even night show talk hosts use to make fun of the food. No everyone is crying cause its gone, at least you can bring on stuff that you would like and want to eat.
