“Soda, Popsicles and WHAT…!?” This Cancer Patient’s Hospital Food Menu Will Make You Shudder
After years of accepting everything
doctors and hospitals tell us about “wellness” as fact, people are
waking up to the realtiy that many of our “health professionals” still
have a lot to learn when it comes to nutrition.
It’s bad enough that doctors take an embarrassingly small amount of nutrition classes,
but that ignorance extends beyond the family practice and into the
hospital where some “healing institutions” actually serve McDonald’s and
other fast food, along with “staples” like green jello (with artificial
colors and other unsavory ingredients).
Everyday
patients dealing with healing challenges have their own needs for
top-quality nutrition, but when it comes to needing a specific, targeted
diet for healing, few patients need one more than cancer patients.
“I Wasn’t Given Much of a Choice…”
Repeating
an all-too-common refrain that many hospital and cancer patients have,
Jared Bucey, the founder of the Facebook page Kids Against Chemo, posted
the picture below of a list of recommended foods that the hospital gave
him.
The list gave ideas
for what to eat to deal with nausea, a major side effect of the
chemotherapy he had been originally administered (before Jared decided
to try a different healing route).
