The chicken or the egg?

You know that age old question... what came first? the chicken or the egg?
I believe there are hundreds of answers to that questions, but along the same lines, on board my flight here, I was wondering about something else....

Does United serve terrible food because it is poor (just got out of bankruptcy and probably about to go into bankruptcy again soon)? Or does the terrible food it serves cause them to be poor because no one wants to fly with them?? 
I didn't fly United on this trip. In fact, as much as possible, I try to avoid American airlines. Their food is bad (almost to the point of inedible), their service sucks, their flight attendants could be my grandparents (and yes I know my grandparents have passed on... but that's exactly my point). So, I flew ANA. Their food is still airplane food but it's definitely many, many times better than the crap United serves on board their flights.
So, if they are bankrupt because of the food they serve, they deserve it. And if they are serving shitty food because they were almost bankrupt, maybe they should remain there... bankrupt.
