 This is the "food" you are served in a hospital, presumably a place of healing. Under all that questionable gravy and meat is white potatoes and a slice of white bread. Your drink choices range from soda, energy drinks, factory milk, and sugared teas and juices.

I have no words. Which actually means my head is full of them and I don't even know where to start. https://image.nostr.build/3ca54bd78714988b06ce4344d1f03288385f0335c1f23d12eb6568f5d7d421af.jpg https://image.nostr.build/a5f0f044daeca41db555b14d618b2464b22aea72f732b24ab2154935dcbfa815.jpg  
 I am excited for hard money medical care 
 This. It will be better. Gradually then suddenly 🙏

@jpfrogmd  what about “Hard Money Health Care” or are you trying to appeal to a wider clientele than only bitcoiners? 😂 
 Love it, but this an acute care endeavor for which I’ll need hospital contacts so got to avoid fun words like Hard, Money, Rebel, etc. 😭 

If we ever open a telemedicine/concierge care arm tho… 
 Ahaha fair enough… 

Well, you could add other things to the telephone call line… words like hard and money may be relevant again 
 Looks like prison food.  Hospitals are dangerous places.

 
 Often the same food service providers, no joke. 
 agreed! 
 good for buisness! 🤮 
 Is it Sodexo? Idk where you’re located geographically, but I think it was Sodexo that did the food for most of the colleges, hospitals, and prisons around the northeastern USA. Similar vibes… 
 this is in the midwest but I can tell you it isn't much different in the PNW 
 Is that half and half? Maybe you could just drink a bunch of those. 
 I chose to fast. 
 Also a solid option. 

I know some people who were dieting, losing weight, getting healthy, and getting happy. They had to hang around a hospital for a while as visitors and blew it all. Crap food choices every day. They're fat, lazy, and miserable again.  
 so sad 
 Next can you please show an example of what you expected? 
 lol touche' 
 My wife and I were just saying the same thing.
She was spending a few days in the hospital visiting someone and all the food items were the same processed junk.

She went for the hard boiled egg option thinking it couldn’t possibly be screwed up.
The yolk was so pale! Guess we are just spoiled with the farm fresh eggs.

Does make me sad for those who have kids in there waiting on transplants and that sort of thing.

My wife put it well “you’d think that if they really wanted people well they would focus on feeding them well.”

I truly believe the overwhelming majority of workers are authentically trying to help.
Education is part of the problem.

How to fix it?
Shake your ranchers hand.
