Fractionally yes. The fuel will burn plus the ingested food will also burn. the mass equivalent to the energy produced by the ingested food will basically dissapear.

Too insignificant of Losses in mass you will observe. Though says, the food is mass at 1 kg, and consumed by a passenger whose the mass is 50kg.
From the conservative of mass theory, you will have in total of 51 kg. But in actual fact, it is 49.9999..... kg, because the food has burnt in our stomach and converted into heat energy and release out as heat.
Well, of course inside an aeroplane, there is a pressure relief system.
So, my answer is YES but insignificant to be counted. Therefore, consider the answer is NO practically, and YES theorectically

Yes!
Because over the time it took for them to eat their meals, the planes engines burnt up a substantial amount of fuel, and the plane got lighter.

Nope.
Where in the question did it say the plane was flying at the time? Ever been stuck on the tarmac?
No mass was removed from the plane, just moved around a bit.

Yes because the plane's fuel will be burnt up on transit making the aircraft lighter.
The food in essence will not really loose much weight... maybe once its digested into the humans.
But i find it hard to believe it will lower it by much since you are absorbing it physically.

No.The load on the plane has this aspect taken.

no, the total resultant weight is still the same xcept that it has been shifted

no chance to become lighter.the process wat u said is just gives the ENERGY CONSERVATION.
