I know, it’s a carefully curated selection. Doesn’t stink, lasts for days and days at room temp and is still perfectly edible, high fiber, tastes good at altitude, neat and easily eaten without fuss. Having several days’ worth of calories staves off travel related anxiety: no matter if a plane is delayed, stuck at the gate for hours, or I end up weather re-routed to BFE, I won’t blood sugar issues. I usually have 2-3 Kind bars in my suitcase too. I have shared my plane picnic on many occasions with less prepared fellow travelers. It’s the food obsessed person’s version of a fashionista’s need to overpack clothing.
