EXCELLENT!!!! Come on folks!
I had a family member recently require an extended stay in a local hospital and I was shocked and horrified! The majority of the meals provided were not healing at all. In fact, it didn't seem that nutrition was really a serious consideration when it came to healing and "getting well"! As a result, my family member didn't even want to eat the food most of the time.
Let's get some color on the plates in hospitals! If we all truly want our patients to heal, we have to feed them healing foods... not burgers and fries, mashed potatoes and boiled carrots... Just sayin'! We ultimately resorted to bringing in plant-based meals when we could because the hospital staff wasn't sure what being plant-based meant and the hospital didn't offer any plant-based meals as options.
I was disappointed to say the least, but I'm hopeful that more hospitals will come onboard! It should be about healing, not profit in these facilities.
