Looks like another low-fat heart-healthy diabetic special tray!

Potatoes and sugar syrup fruit. So sad. Sorry for your loss Sean.

Sample menu is vegan and all carbs:

But my keto friend has the last laugh: Hunger Strike!

Well well well … Eat hospital food, double your mortality over the next month.

PS: It's not just 𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘱𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘭 food. This food is everywhere!

Even if your not admitted to hospital, office handouts can be lethal:

It's clear that most inpatient meals meals are pretty bad. But that poor nutrition isn't limited to hospitals.

Expanding the thread to hotel breakfasts now.

Grab & Go Blind?
Grab & Go Numb?

See?! Hospitals and hotels 𝘢𝘳𝘦 out to kill us:

#shittyHospitalFood

Back to the hospital now. BG 380 so serve Cheerios, melon & pineapple, muffin, and OJ. And "reduced fat" milk, of course!

Inpatient Fast Food is a thing … They have a kitchen, a building full of sick people and healers, and they serve crap like this.

#shittyHospitalFood

Can't quite read the card, but there's not a lot of goodness there 😠

This does beg the question, on the meaning of the phrase "diabetic diet tray."
#shittyHospitalFood

God, this is awful. Someone with a #CGM would know in about 45 minutes this was not a good idea, and spend the next couple hours hyperinsulinemic. I thought you went to hospital to get BETTER?!?!

This thread began as #shittyHospitalFood, but must be expanded to include schools. Feeding students, especially of low income, is admirable. But why feed them #shittyFoodService food?

#StillHungry

Examples of #shittyHospitalFood are everywhere. Corn flakes have no business on any diabetic tray.

It's as if hospital systems are competing in a most #shittyHospitalFood contest. 😟

Unbelievable meal tray for a post stroke patient. Glad you're there to help your FIL Maria!

#shittyHospitalFood With or without the missing tuna sandwich, this box meal is a disaster. No words. 🙊

I said in another thread that CardioB claims an ethical vegan diet is more healthy than eating animal foods, preventative of diseases of meat eaters, and better for the environment. She says this in a YouTube vid from 2019:
Some quotes:

“Over the past six to nine months I've seen patients who have full-blown diabetes go off of their insulin completely. I’ve seen patients with hypertension that have been a multiple antihypertensives for years come off of all their medications.”
“We have no data to show us that we need animal products and that animal products help us. We only have data to show us that animal products can hurt us and that are associated with more chronic disease more hypertension or diabetes more coronary artery disease …

I don't have T2D. I just applied a CGM prescribed by my endocrinologist, who appreciates the fact that I'm willing to learn what I can and cannot eat, and how eating patterns affect my BG and presumably insulin levels. She said, I don't think insurance will pay for this.
1/n Image
I said I would self pay. She said I was an unusual patient who wanted to be proactive, and she appreciated that. She said she would rather not to have to treat me for T2D and was happy to write the script. She is not a bro scientist. She's a front-line endo whose office
waiting room is FILLED with obese, sick people of all ages following the dietary advice of most cardiologists and endocrinologists.

Worse is Belardo's "plant based nutritional handout" with her anti-animal plant-based bias.

I weep for all of these patients.😢 Image

"Lentils are low in calories" … 0.44 P:E 😬 What they are is low in fat, high in carbohydrate, therefore not a great source of protein.

What are the essential flavonoids? Anti-ox, anti-inflamm props that *may* reduce the risk of *several* heart disease? Such as?

🤔
Lentils don't suck as a source of protein as much as many other foods, and if you won't eat animal products. That's about as far as it goes.

Is 78 grams of carbohydrate for 35 grams of plant protein at 449 calories (approx. 1/4 daily amount)?
There's a patten here. A disturbing pattern.

If you ate no sugar for one year, instead of consuming the 101.6 pounds the average American consumes every year, you wouldn't eat nearly a cubic foot of sugar.

Half the people's mega blocks of sugar would be even BIGGER.

That's 11533 sugar cubes for the cube fans.
Assuming:

Americans consume ~126.4 grams per day on average.

One sugar cube, which is equivalent to one teaspoon of sugar, weighs approximately 4 grams

Well well, since 1950 school lunch quality goes down.

UPF wrecking health is not new!

"In the 1950s, with the rise of pre-packaged convenience foods and the government’s emphasis on lowering food costs overall, the nutritional quality of school …

lunches plummeted. Although schools were serving calorically dense meals, they often offered little in the way of healthy veggies, fresh fruits, or lean proteins, instead offering things like cheese meatloaf and sausage shortcake. The lack of nutrition was one of the driving …
factors behind the Child Nutrition Act of 1966, which gave control over what schools could offer at mealtime to the Department of Agriculture."

I'll be damned.
