However, you said, "I've spent enough times in a hospital to know that good food is hard to come by."<BR/><BR/>I wonder if you are implying taste by saying "good food," or quality of food. I have also spent a lot of time in hospitals, but have found either cafeteria food or the hospital's own cafe food to be just fine. Not that these foods are especially healthy, but I have found many hospital foods to be MUCH healthier than the options of a fast food restaurant.<BR/><BR/>The fact is that fast food is known to contribute to the rising obesity epidemic, and related to diabetes and heart disease. A hospital is a place we go to help us heal FROM these problems. <BR/><BR/>McDonald's does NOT offer anything better than hospital cafeteria food, as boring as that food becomes when you spend a lot of time in a hospital. I believe that hospitals need to step up and set the standard for healthy eating.My Year Withouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17290085498074393110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2743655253913703801.post-598515625639481932009-02-26T17:15:00.000-08:002009-02-26T17:15:00.000-08:00As a visitor, yes, I would like options to eat (tr...As a visitor, yes, I would like options to eat (trust me, I've spent enough times in a hospital to know that good food is hard to come by, and sometimes leaving to get something isn't an option).<BR/><BR/>But then again, that ruins your whole shock article, when I mention that these places are more for visitors than patients, doesn't it?BluelineGoddesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13762446310489886929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2743655253913703801.post-33387469052108562572009-02-25T06:46:00.000-08:002009-02-25T06:46:00.000-08:00scary.scary.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16720279261665811436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2743655253913703801.post-48997282165980479072009-02-21T13:27:00.000-08:002009-02-21T13:27:00.000-08:00your blog is so interesting to read, its amazing! ...your blog is so interesting to read, its amazing! thanks for your wondeful posts.<BR/><BR/>hope to hear from you,<BR/>Monika ♥Mama Bee Simplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17490599236778507319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2743655253913703801.post-41047013122374738922009-02-21T11:05:00.000-08:002009-02-21T11:05:00.000-08:00This is amazing!

Here's one: I gave my children a choice of what to give up as a family for Lent, either HFCS or TV. They chose the HFCS. I don't think they really know all that it entails, but what a 40 days we are in for! HA! I will keep you updated and thx again for all your great work!Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02946801232324134005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2743655253913703801.post-89997437371809995912009-02-20T09:33:00.000-08:002009-02-20T09:33:00.000-08:00This.
