I made the same point to VS catering as you, regarding the light bites, that it gives an alternative to the full meal - surely the whole point of "Freedom".
However, that seemed to be completely lost on them, and their reply stated that the availability of "light bites" was influenced by sector time, and occasionally departure time - the VS17 being an example of a short flight which does have light bites on it's menu, because of it's late evening departure time (i.e. it's offered as a light supper).
In the same letter, VS also refuted all allegations of "cost cutting" and insist that they are only trying to "reduce wastage".
