You are aware of how Norwegian long haul works, it's the same as Primea as it is with a lot of airlines. You sound rather naive to how low cost carriers work, even a legacy carrier like British Airways have abondoned the second meal on long haul flights less than 8 hours as in a breakfast or meal prior to arrival.
Upgrades and ancillary costs make up for a lot extra revenue for low cost airlines whether they are long haul or short haul and giving away free food and drinks is not part of that policy, like it or not you buy your own food and drink onboard which most passengers accept when flying these days.
After all it's nothing new even Laker and People Express were doing this in the 1980's
Just to add, have you tried Pret A Manger? Baguettes from £4.50 and you don't need a mortgage for that price and they are definitely not curled up!
