Wonderful new trend in hospital food

Hospitals go organic for patients’ sake

This is the best news I’ve heard in a long time and I think it’s the beginning of a health revolution that will finally promote health through wholesome foods EVEN AT THE HOSPITALS!

Good Shepherd is one of many hospitals across the nation offering food that’s healthier for patients, workers and the environment.

“What we are trying to do is provide not just our patients, but everybody that eats here, with foods that are health promoting,” said Nancy Gummer, director of nutrition services at Good Shepherd.

The hospital no longer needs to modify each meal for a patient’s sodium or fat restrictions. Instead it serves healthy food to everyone. In just one year, Gummer has been able to rid the hospital of all trans fats and major additives.

Our bodies are “bombarded with this stuff all the time,” Gummer said. “All our ingredients are actually food.”
