Près de la moitié des plateaux de repas servis à l’hôpital finissent en partie dans les poubelles Près de la moitié des plateaux de repas servis aux patients reviennent avec des restants, qui finissent dans les poubelles.

De nouveaux services, comme le service en chambre, font toute la différence.

🤔 I'm begging to wonder how the vegetable 'sausage' patty would work for my muffins in the future. We')) see next time. #HospitalFood

“It’s not just about cutting salt from a recipe — that doesn’t add flavor. Instead, we reverse engineer meals to meet dietary needs from the start, rather than modifying an existing recipe into something less delicious.” 👩‍🍳 #FoodAsMedicine #HospitalFood

Hospital food gets a healthy makeover From hiring Michelin-star chefs to sourcing produce from local farmers, academic health systems are transforming their culinary services to help patients heal.

“It doesn’t matter what your medical treatment is or what medicine they’re giving you. It’s not going to work as well in a poorly nourished body. I see our work as amplifying the work of [the entire #healthcare team].” 🍏

A small bowl of cut fruit, cut into approximately half-inch by one-inch pieces. The bowl has cantaloupe, honeydew, and pineapple.

I love how they do the fruit cup. Instead of the usual chunks of fruit, they cut little batons, which lets them put more pieces of fruit in each bowl. I need to do this at home 2/2 #FoodSky #HospitalFood

My bad, I got brown rice with the pot roast. The potatoes will go with the cheeseburger for dinner, although I may get the chicken pot pie for dinner.

This is today's lunch, which is yummy. 1/2 #FoodSky #HospitalFood

First, do no harm? Hospital food, bad for patients, worse for the Earth The first study of its kind reveals the large environmental footprint and nutritional inferiority of catering at care institutions.

"The takeaway is that what’s harmful to human health seems to also threaten the planet: it’s ironic that this trend was found to be so stark in #healthcare institutions." 🍏
