I think it depends.
Last year, I went from Frankfurt to SF with United and food was bad. The plane was old, service was sloppy, no seat-back entertainment etc, almost everything was bad.
Went SF to Zurich to Istanbul in return with Swiss and food was quite good for my taste, Swiss also served quality chocolate twice which was a nice surprise. Along with presents to kids (books, coloring book, crayons etc.) it was more than OK IMO. Last month, went Istanbul - Bangkok with Turkish Airlines[1] and upgraded to business in return flight. Food was delicious both in economy and business.
I don't know Swiss, but Turkish Airlines' profitability fluctuates quarter to quarter and I know that they're heavily subsidized by government for political reasons, so the food they serve might not be of reasonable quality for a company totally moved by market forces.
