If healthy foods are more expensive to make and serve than unhealthy foods (and you're right, the price of a salad is almost always ridiculously higher than less-healthy options) I would expect a hospital to subsidise healthy options (some hospitals do) and to not serve unhealthy options at all.zoe p.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02535684589288030978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14146381.post-1154706354113566722006-08-04T11:45:00.000-04:002006-08-04T11:45:00.000-04:00let me first state that the foodservice is run by ...let me first state that the foodservice is run by an international foodservice company that is for profit. The menus are not made for "sick" patient, they are made for families and most familes like "junk" food. That is why the menu is unhealthy, because it sells, the health menu is more expensive due to the fact the health food cost more to make and are more labor intense then tossing a burger on the grill. Food at both palaces are tasty. Next time when you are in McDonalds look at the price of a grilled chicken sandwhich compared to a burger. A burger is a dollar and the chicken is 3 dollars. It is the same anywhere, the price for a salad is ridulous!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
