There is a real disconnect between the food that is supplied in hospitals and Assisting Living Homes and the health of the human body. Most of the food is packaged filled with modifications, additives, preservatives, flavours, GM foods and much more. The cost is around $9.00 a day per person and that includes any supplements, plates, forks and serviettes. The Up For A Chat girls decide to talk about this national disgrace and give advice on how you can survive a hospital visit, whether it is an emergency or planned. Listen in on how they change the paradigm of a stay in hospital and the directives that you should write down in order to survive hospital food.
