The real reason you should avoid eating on a plane - even if it's free
Briefly

Airline passengers are being urged to avoid eating on planes because airplane food contains artificial ingredients to mask loss of taste sensitivity. This sensitivity reduction happens at high altitudes due to low air pressure and dry air. Influencer Kashif Khan claims that airlines load meals with artificial flavors, MSG, and other additives, making travelers feel worse health-wise. The dry cabin air and low oxygen can slow digestion, leading to bloating and discomfort during and after flights.
At 30,000 feet, your taste buds lose about 30% of their sensitivity. Airlines compensate by loading your food with artificial flavors, salt, and additives, making it taste better.
The dry cabin air and low oxygen slows down your digestion. That food just sits in your gut, ferments and causes bloating, leading to discomfort during and after a flight.
