Here we go, dinner time. Chicken with some kind of green sauce, mashed potatoes, steamed veggies, a cup of pineapples, hot tea, what looks like a creamy soup, and a slice of carrot cake.

At this point, I don’t know why I’m still surprised. Another meal loaded with carbs and sugar—mashed potatoes, pineapple, and cake all adding up. And that sauce and soup? Probably full of seed oils and additives. The chicken is probably the best thing on the plate, but even then, who knows what it’s been cooked in.

The good news? My mom is finally getting released! Just glad she can get out of here and eat some real food.

My mom is still waiting for her MRI—over 24 hours behind schedule because one of the machines broke. This is truly unacceptable, especially when she’s waiting to rule out a mini-stroke. If someone could be dealing with a mini-stroke, delaying this test is dangerous. The longer she waits, the worse it could get, and the food they’re serving her is definitely not healthy for anyone.

Here’s the photo my mom sent me of her lunch. Looks like chicken, rice with carrots, mango, and onion salsa, apple sauce, a salad, chamomile tea, Kraft dressing (likely Golden Italian), an Udi’s chocolate chip cookie, and butternut squash soup.

Here’s the issue: This meal is mostly carbs, sugars, and possibly unhealthy fats. The rice, fruit salsa, and apple sauce are carb-heavy, and the apple sauce is probably packed with added sugar. The salad, while it seems like a healthy choice, can be hard to digest for some people and doesn’t provide much in terms of protein. That Kraft dressing is full of seed oils and preservatives. The Udi’s cookie is processed sugar and flour, and the butternut squash soup likely has unhealthy fats or hidden sugars.

Why is this the food hospitals are supplying? Wouldn’t they want to provide meals that actually support recovery, especially when dealing with potential heart issues or high blood pressure? Why are we being served food that’s high in sugars, carbs, and unhealthy fats? Could it be that these food companies have ties with hospitals? It’s time to question why this is considered “normal” hospital food when it’s far from healthy.

A better option? How about a protein-packed meal that actually supports healing—like grilled steak, grilled chicken, fish, with a healthy fat source such as avocado, or a hearty broth-based soup with real, whole ingredients. Definitely healthier than a cookie.

What do you think?
