ut quickly regretted not doing the<br />
same. Next, we wait with bated breath<br />
in hopes that the gruel the flight attendants<br />
bring is at least edible only<br />
to be disappointed for the umpteenth<br />
time. It’s god awful. So, what’s the<br />
deal with airline food? Well, this question<br />
came back with a few scientific<br />
answers and one very interesting one.<br />
Scientifically speaking, it seems that<br />
our taste buds just do not work that<br />
well at high altitudes and what you<br />
have been eating at 32,000 feet all<br />
these years would taste a whole lot<br />
better on the ground (yeah, right).<br />
In truth, altitude does indeed wreak<br />
havoc on your nasal passages, alternating<br />
sometimes between congestion<br />
and drying, both of which could<br />
impact taste. Another factor is that<br />
the combination of stress and the<br />
constant noise in flight can distract<br />
the brain from the food as it focuses<br />
on the noise. The mental distraction<br />
detracts from the true flavor of the<br />
food.<br />
Still not convinced?<br />
Finally, there is an answer that shifts<br />
the blame from biology to simple logistics.<br />
Airplanes simply do not have<br />
the facilities to cook and maintain<br />
food at proper temperatures, and<br />
since individual tastes are as varied<br />
as passengers, foods are selected<br />
for both palatability and their ability<br />
to stand up under heat for extended<br />
time periods. Needless to say, the<br />
combination does not make for the<br />
most delicious of meals.<br />
DOES AIRPL<strong>AN</strong>E AIR<br />
MAKE YOU SICK?<br />
Many a traveler have gotten off a<br />
plane only to awaken the next morning<br />
feeling like crap, cursing that<br />
darn recycled airplane air. Airplane
