I don’t see why “free” food and drink, beyond water, has to be provided in basic fare. It just adds a layer of cost.
If you want food service, pay for it.
Last time I flew through Madrid, beyond security, there was a Burger King (a bit more expensive than regular), a bunch of other deli and coffe places where you could get sandwiches, baguettes, etc, water fountains to refill your bottle all over the place, and a bunch of vending machines with sandwiches and snacks.

Makes sense to me.
For the love of God, don’t carry a stinky takeout double whopper onto a plane.
That happens all the time, if you are flying out of any major airport. It really isn’t that big of a deal.
Maybe they should have thought about that before taking away the little bags of pretzels and cookies
