I wrote some software that was used by Amtrak, the people implementing the software on the trains said that the food being sold on the trains was usually not what was being loaded on and off the trains, but was instead supplied by the employees, so that they could make extra cash. I'm not sure if that's still the case, but with a captive audience, I'm surprised Amtrak does so poorly.
Another issue is that cargo trains get precedence, so travel times are often excessively long.
