Rant on Crew Meals

Is it just me or does it make sense for suppliers to ask for crew meals? I mean, they're their employees so why don't they find a way to make sure that food is supplied to them? Why are they giving the burden of giving them food (for some of them for the whole day) to the couple?

Hindi naman sa madamot pero it's a significant part of the whole budget din kasi and I just want to understand the reasoning behind this.

EDIT: Since I can't edit the title anymore, I want to clarify that this was initially a rant but has turned to more of ab inquiry behind the reasoning of crew meals after reading the conversations in this post.
