That's an awful lot of breakfast meats! I'm a medical reporter for a newspaper and the most sugary foods I get served are always at the events at the local hospitals or med school. My newsroom jokes they're trying to ensure long-term success by giving us the diabeeetus.
Sure it kills people, but it looks way better than the single poptart I had for breakfast this morning! (I later went shopping and now have several poptarts)
One of the hospitals i was posted to had the same sort of food - burgers and fries, and nothing else. It was really difficult to keep to a healthy diet. I was horrified and a little annoyed to be honest; after all what kind of example are we setting? I had to walk fifteen minutes out just to get a healthier alternative - Subway. Apparently, healthy food is just too costly to provide these days!
I have eaten at my hosptial cafeteria only once this year (over halfway through intern year in Australia), which I am proud of. Mind you, the fact that I often did not get time to eat lunch is not so great.
LOL!
ReplyDeleteIn the pediatric hospital where I work, the cafeteria closes at 5, and only the McDonald's is open overnight and on the weekends!

ReplyDeleteGosh, the middle one looks like sausages, but I have no idea what the others are!
ReplyDeleteWhat they take up to the rooms isn't any better.

ReplyDeleteThey have to serve this high salt/fat combo, or else the surgeons would have to eat/pee before 6PM.

ReplyDeleteOne of the major perks of my job as an anesthesiologist is that the hospital I work at always has free PB and J at the OR lounge.
