You've heard the rumors that the food served in hospitals is among one of the most repulsive substances on the planet. If you've ever had a stay in a hospital, I'm sure one of the questions you've been asked by family and friends was "How was the food?" and you never answer favorably. If you do, you're simply lying because at the point where you're asked that question, you don't care about the sympathy and pity you're receiving for being hospitalized, all you care about is getting better, getting out, and eating REAL food; food that is actually FOOD and actually consumable by humans.

The rumors are true. How hospital food can even be considered food and fit for human consumption, I honestly have no idea.

Why is it so disgusting, you ask? One word: Price. If you think hospitals are going to pay for top notch quality foods from their distributors, you're crazy. It's all dollars and sense. As long as it's technically and legally edible, they're going to cook it up and serve it.

And as for the presentability of said "food", it doesn't matter what kind of cook or chef they hire, what school they graduated from and so on. It does not matter. Because when it comes to hospital food, you can't polish a turd.

I now present to you, the best of the worst of the slop that's plopped onto plates and shoved in front of the faces of patients at the undisclosed hospital I am employed with.

Yes, the photographs contained within this account are actual meals that were really served to patients in said hospital.

How anyone makes it to discharged status and actually goes home alive, I don't know. Hopefully they ordered out.
