I assume it does, otherwise fast food restaurants wouldn't be showing up in hospital buildings. (Is this part of Obama's grand plan, overlooked in the "pull the plug on grandma" argument? Entice hospital patients to sneak junk food into their rooms, in the hope clogged arteries will eventually kill them, thus saving the govt and American taxpayers billions of dollars?). BTW--Ever notice that Cedars Sinai Hospital, for example, has never opened a chain of restaurants? <br /><br />Does somebody actually "taste" hospital food and sign off on it--"Yum, that salisbury steak that just broke my knife and fork is dee-licious!"--before subjecting patients to it? Shouldn't the person running a hospital kitchen have to take urine AND taste bud tests? (Passing 1 out of two wouldn't be bad; I don't care if they're shooting heroin as long as their food doesn't suck).<br /><br />Is a hospital cook's only hope of advancement, a job making food for airline flights? (How can you ruin a bag of pretzels?). Oh, and do the workers in hospital kitchens fight over who gets to take home the leftovers at the end of a day?<br /><br />Earl, what I'm saying is...don't forget your favorite take out restaurant's phone number before you check back into the hospital.Jack Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13593863611930561323noreply@blogger.com
