Nutrition for travelers -- it takes an effort
How can you eat better when flying by air? A group of doctors recently reported that the meat-stuffed, cheese-stuffed sandwiches on a big roll that most airlines are now serving, are the worst possible repast. One so-called airline snack, of ham, salami and provolone cheese on a huge and doughy slab, brings you a big 800 calories and 40 grams of fat. They suggest, instead, that you order in advance a vegetarian sandwich, the only problem being that many airlines are no longer responding to such requests. Therefore, they say, eat in the airport before you take off: veggie burgers are widely sold, the popular Sbarro's has pasta primavera, and amazingly enough some of the Starbucks at airports sell vegetable panini sandwiches to accompany your coffee.
