Mmm, peach cobbler. I'd be happy to take yours off your hands, Garth, since you're watching your weight. ;)

Like you I prefer hot food but it does mean that you have to wait in line to be severed. This question was not who wanted lunch boxes, the issue was how long it took to be severed. Even thought I go to the vendor food hall, it always seen to take 5 minutes before you could make it to the food table before getting severed. Then it would take a bit longer to slowly make you way to the other end. If anything ran out you would wait until they replaced it. This year there has been no waiting to grab a lunch box. Again my understanding is that the cost is exactly the same for MS for the lunch boxes, and the quality is much higher than your normal lunch boxed. I would agree that these lunch boxes are a lot high quality than normal lunch boxes. When do you see cut fresh fruit in a lunch box and a peach cobbler? Don't get me wrong, I want a hot lunch. All I'm doing is giving another prospective on things. Food waste will happen with both lunch boxes and catered food, I agree that it will be less with catered. But on the plus side, I'm trying to watch my weight, so a box lunch, will help keep me in check. :) BTW, I was also told that the boxes are recycled however because they are a hard plastic, I wouldn't be surprised if they are washed and reused. BBTW, I was talking @RicksterCDN about this on Sunday night this is the only reason why I know any of this. He is a good guy and if you can catch him or Joey, I'm sure that they will give you more details about this.

The majority prefers that over a cooked meal? I have a hard time believing that and I never waited that long. But it certainly is cheaper for MS, but I do think we pay enough to get something better regardless Maybe I'm just spoiled with real bread (coming from Europe) and not that piece of tasteless foam used. And then that dry chicken. BRRRR. Not even talking about how many half used boxes go into the garbage.

People didn't want to wait for 20-30 minutes to get food. They wanted to get in and out in 5 minutes so that they can talk to friends, office, family during the breaks. So what they did was if they spent $30 on hot food per person, they turned around bought lunch that cost $30/each, this way you get better food and can get in and out within a few minutes. Therefore you don't have to wait in line for you food nearly as long... Right, wrong... I'm just says that is why we have lunch boxes..

Cold sandwiches? Seriously and like the same every day? I've good better food on any airplane and it's warm. That is just not acceptable. -R
