- And you thought airline food couldn't get any worse? The
- cholera epidemic in South America has touched Los Angeles; at
- least 39 passengers and crew members who arrived last month on
- an Aerolineas Argentinas flight from Buenos Aires have come
- down with the disease; one died. Los Angeles health officials,
- who are still trying to locate other passengers, suspect that
- airline meals taken on at a stop in Lima were tainted. Other
- major carriers now are taking special precautions. While
- American Airlines has eliminated green salads and fresh seafood
- from its South American menus, Varig copes by loading its planes
- with extra food from safer sources in Brazil, Chile and
- Argentina.
