United No Longer to Charge for Meals on Flights to Europe

According to USA Today, United will not be charging extra for meals on flights going to Europe. This change came when United  received negative feedback from their passengers (what a shock!). Most airlines have removed the option of food on domestic flights; while for international flights, food is still available. 

With the recent rise in oil and fuel prices, many airlines have started to remove some amenities and have started to charge for certain items.  Although, it has been a while since meals were offered on domestic flights, meals are still being offered on long flights, usually those that are going over an ocean. Even though some people tend to compare airplane food to hospital food, one still enjoys receiving a hot meal. As well as filling up your stomach at 35,000 feet in the air, this leaves more room in your carry-on (since snacks will not have to be packed) for more important items. 

So what is your opinion on this? Do you think that food should be offered on long flights and not on shorter domestic flights?
