hospital food

[Guest guest]

What I really hate is seeing McDonalds and other fast food restaurants in

children's (or any) hospital. I know that McDonalds does a lot of charity work

with the hospitals but I really think there has to be a healthier choice in the

restaurants they allow in.

Hi friends,

I haven't had any bad experiences with hospital cafeterias, because they usually

have a lot of choices. The meals in my room were not swell, but then again I was

recovering [and drugged] from a hip replacement. :>(

As far as McDonald's or other places that cater to children:

The parents MUST be there for the kids. No commercial establishment of any type

is responsible for making family choices. I believe most " fast food " places are

making an effort to do better. It is due to pressure from family/parents who

want healthy choices for their kids.

As a parent and grandparent and great grandma [!] I think it is sad that we

think " others " must make things right, so there is no need for us to teach the

kids better nutrition.

Responsibility really lies with the family.

I guess I am from the old school [i was lucky].

My dad said: " If so and so wants to put her head in a bucket of crud, does that

mean you need to? "

So, kids should learn alternative thinking and solutions.

Lesson learned from the olden days!

Thanks for listening.
