My mom is a diabetic, and if she saw "meal" listed on a 6 hour flight, then she would think she would be getting something that would keep her sugar from hitting rock bottom. A small cup of ice cream would not qualify In a message dated 9/22/2004 7:46:37 PM Central Daylight Time, shibumi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx writes: Not offering meal service is one thing; I, for one, won't miss the lack of meals on any flight under six hours. However, saying that you're offering lunch and calling ice cream 'lunch' verges on fraudulent. There are people to whom the timing and availability of food is a matter of life-and-death; while some may argue that 'they deserve to die', i think diabetics are a reasonable percentage of air service revenue.
