I think it's a terrific idea! I was in KGH 4 years ago following a heart attack, and my wife has been in there the last 4 days, and despite the hospital food is actually delicious, dinner comes early and you have nothing till morning except for salty or sugar infused snacks from vending machines in the lobby! To have healthy varieties available after hours would be Paramount! To take things a step further, I think we should also go back to having specific farms produce meat, produce, and dairy for health facilities like we did at one time, for instance, tranquille farms in Kamloops used to produce for the mental health facilities on the same site, royal inland hospital, the provincial old men's home and a local jail. Also colony farms in cocquitlam produced for Riverview psychiatric, woodlands school, and royal Columbian hospital.

The toxic foods they provide at the hospital are detrimental to the healing of patients. The best thing we could do to speed up healing and support our sick people, is to improve the nutritional content of food at the hospital. Everyone knows this has been an issue for ages, and I'm glad someone is finally trying to do something about it! Come on KGH, get on board!

Wow it almost makes you want to be hospitalized lol Yes nutrient dense food would be such a bonus in hospitals that serve crap to patients . Family members could bring that food up to the patient. I'm sure recovery time would be better as well. Good luck !

Sad that the hospital provides menu options that are SAD (Standard American Diet)! My husband's CHF/Diabetic/CVD issues are only further exacerbated by the idiocy of hospital meal plans that follow SAD and AHA/ADA recommendations.

If you or someone you love is sick enough to require hospitalization they should get healthy, fresh, great tasting foods so they can regain their strength and get well.

It makes sense to give people who are not healthy the tools (Paleo food) to regain their health.

KGH is a place to regain our health. Having healthy snack/meal options other than at the designated meal times for patients is a natural option to offer. Pop and candy options (much as I love candy) are dubious options to offer. So in how was the junk food option decided?

This is the best idea ever other than the Ministry of Health funding these meals and providing them instead of the crap that's usually doled out to patients! Thank you :)
