Guest guest Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Hi Donna - hope your mom is doing well. I just wanted to mention that while I certainly agree with you that pork rinds are a horrid thing to have in the cafeteria, they are not really fat. They are the skin that is then deep fried. There! Doesn't that make you feel better??? LOL I have heard so many horror stories about the food in hospitals - on one list there was a gal who was admitted who was a celiac. When she tried to talk to the hospital dietitian, she was told " Oh, I know all about celiac disease. " The very next morning for breakfast, her main food was a wheat cereal. And then there's the school cafeterias....oh, don't even get me started....
