I could not imagine having to enter a medical facility - I wonder what that is like for humans, anyway, have you ever been admitted into a hospital? If so, do you enjoy eating the food they served you if it was not based on a diet. For instance you were not served food with no salt or oils because you were admitted for a hear condition.
Hospital food is nasty as to be a danger to man kind. Ok, so its not that bad, but it is not real good. My father in law stayed in the hospital and once got a screw in his green beans! My wife was in the hospital last december and found a fly in her yellow jello, like right in the middle!
I have stayed in hospital many times, from being a toddler. Fortunately, I haven't had to stay in hospital in the last couple of years, but what I can say, is that over the years I have seen great improvement in the food, even the presentation has got better.
it used to be, that if you were on the last ward to get served your food, you were lucky if it was even lukewarm by the time it got to you. I suppose there are more modern heating trolleys available these days, that ensure the food arrives to you hot, regardless of where you are in the queue for food!
