It's a bird, it's a plane, it's not kosher: U.S. Airways is going the way of Nerds candy. Beginning July 1st, the Virginia-based airline stopped offering kosher food options on its flights. Except for those traveling first class -- those lucky few still get to partake in that god-awful Wilton's frozen turkey sandwich. Instead of offering specialty meals for kosher and vegan customers, U.S. Airways has followed the path of its major competitors by offering high-end gourmet cuisine at a price. A look at their new menu includes such non-kosher delicacies as Prosciutto Ham and Melon Salad and a Ham Muffaletta Sandwich. Mmmm. Believe it or not, the Anti-Defamation League actually commented on this story. "We find it most insensitive and rather discouraging," said David Friedman, the regional office director of the ADL in D.C. "It's a serious step backward and sends a message to many people that their patronage simply is not wanted." Now, explain again why people want disgusting food at 30,000 feet?
