"A cold roast beef sandwich on doughy white bread" for heart patients is reason enough for ALL family and friends to bring in REAL food to hospital patients.

Even the thought of hospital food makes me feel like I need to lie down…

It’s encouraging to see those Ontario hospitals and others get serious about making hospital food not only palatable and safe, but delicious and healthy for patients. I think it’s a myth that serving beautiful food has to cost more than serving what’s in these photos.

Great website! The photos of some of these hospital trays are unbelievable and unrecognizable. What kind of employee can: #1 slop this crap onto a plate and #2 actually deliver it to a hospital room for face-to-face presentation to a sick person? Do they become blind to the appearance of what they are handling after a while? Shocking….

Hospital food – ugh. What do people expect? In Asia, we do not count on strangers to feed our family members who are in hospital, everybody knows you bring in favorites from home,these things also help patient get better faster.

Hospital food is right up there with airline food – why wouldn’t everybody just pack a lunch? We cannot expect institutional food to compare at all with small-batch, individually prepared home cooking.

Oh, boy, I wish I’d thought of taking photos of every hospital meal served to me during my recent stay.

Like you, I was shocked to see what the hospital considered appropriate to serve recovering heart bypass surgery survivors. After my third day, I asked my family to just start bringing in tupperware containers of fresh salads and fruits and homemade REAL food for me. My hospital roommate was also on a carb-restricted meal plan, yet almost every tray arrived with a big ice-cream scoop of pasty WHITE rice and a piece of white Wonder bread on the plate.
