Airport food can be bad for your health
After heaping plates of turkey and trimmings the last thing you may be in the mood for is a greasy burger at the airport fast food joint. But often, when traveling, the pickings are slim.
This just in for the Thanksgiving travel holiday: airport food can rank seriously low on the health scale, according to a new survey.
Our very own BWI Thurgood Marshall ranked near the bottom of the list of the nation's 17 busiest airports for healthy food. Our colleagues at B'more Green give us the full scoop on the findings, complete with a full list of the rankings.
Apparently diners can find more healthy foods loaded with veggies in Detroit, which got a perfect score from the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, than they can in Baltimore. Who knew?

Depressing to see how badly all the D.C./Baltimore area airports did in this report--depressing, but not surprising. Our airports are the worst in every other way--why not in food?

I don't put a lot of stock in what the food police have to say. Check their credentials and follow the money. They usually have an agenda, and your best interests are very low on their list if they're there at all.
