Who are the nutritionist that develop the menus for hospital food? I cannot believe what they serve to the patients and I really can't believe they call some of it food!
My husband is in the hospital right now, something he has to do every 2-3 years or so. He is a heart patient and a borderline diabetic. He is also disabled due to a severe back injury and permanent nerve damage. I have kept his diabeties under control with diet and he eats a heart healthy diet at home. At the hospital last night they tried to feed him a dinner of bbq pork, mashed potatoes and corn.....when he asked the nurse if this was the correct plate for him she responded "yes sir this is a heart healthy meal, they do this scientificly sir". He refused to eat it telling her that his wife would kill him if he did and opted for a tuna sandwich which the nurse produced from the nurses refrigerator. I was proud of him but also appauld at the hospital! How dare they give greasy pork to a heart patient and 2 starchy carbs to a diabetic whats wrong with this picture?
I really wish they would let me create a truely healthy menu, the patients would love it and they would not be getting food that could actually kill them!
