True or False?

I was reading some "ask the pilot" tell-all Facebook thing that mentioned the Captain and First Officer are served two separate meals and do not share.

The article went on to say that this is to eliminate the chance that if one meal is poisoned you've got at least one guy still alive to fly.

At first I thought this was bull, but then again what do I know. Truth?
 
That'd be in each companies individual policies. It's not like they serve things family style if you both wanted the same thing though. Everything is more or less individually packaged. They're pretty much the same thing as pax meals.
We did have an FO get food poisoning recently from catering though.
 
When I fly internationally with another pilot, I won't eat the same meal/item that he does. Not worried about an attempt on our lives but rather poison from bad food handling/preparation.
 
On some flights we can order from a menu and two guys could get the same thing. Most places you can't order and the meals are different. Once during peak I think they ran out of meals and I got this... Photo-0009.jpg

and it came in this bag....Photo-0010.jpg
 
Here we have two identical containers of "peaches" that were part of a crewmeal my FO and I got years ago. One says "picked in China/packed in Thailand" and the other says "picked in Greece/packed in Thailand". I guess this provides some level of safety.

Crew meals at a regional? Or just crackers and peanuts?

We got crew meals for ever 6.5 hours on duty without 45 minutes in a hub or 30 minutes in a out station. Normally were a nasty sandwich, chips and cookies. In phl and lga we got to pick them out at the restaurant. In MCI they came from a bbq joint and were awesome. Crew meals went away in contract 2012. Funny story about that, but it's an in person sort of tale.

The balance/composition of this photo is disconcerting. The E terminal is sloping one way, the dashboard another, and fruit cocktail is better than just peaches.
