Why do hospitals serve unhealthy food

Imagine you or someone you love are in the hospital. Breakfast is a tasty oat and chia porridge with walnuts, blueberries, and hemp seeds. Lunch is a large black bean salad made with a large variety of local greens. And dinner is a delicious and filling lentil soup with another large salad and quinoa. All of it is delicious – and all of it is grown organically.

If you know anything about hospital food, you know that healthy, fresh, plant-based menus are far from typical. Instead, the food that’s served to patients and the food that’s available at hospital cafeterias is often bland, boring, overcooked, and worst of all, unhealthy.

They serve unhealthy food because it is cheap, easy to prepare, they think it is what everyone wants, have been doing it for years and won't bother changing, costs too much too impliment change and train the cooks, and also it is in their best interests to keep you sick and stay there longer. Years ago when I had my son, I was craving a good salad and my friend brought me a huge bowl to keep me going for a few days, but I ate the lot in one day.

You must all live in the East, here in the West the hospital food was good in the 3 different hospitals I have been in for operations. Meal menus for everyone to choose from And special diets for those that need them are catered for I also saw dietitians come in to check over the meal menus with patients with special needs Or with vegetarians I never heard anyone complain about the food. 

The waiting list for beds are heavy so the main aim is to get people out as quickly as possible whether surgical or medical. A Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy in the morning for instance and you are out that evening or by 10 a.m. the next morning.
