Many patients just donxt eat them altogether because they don’t taste good to begin with. Sub-par taste doesn’t help the patients eat and absorb what little nutrition they may contain.
I can’t eat at my mother’s retirement center the chicken tastes like it was rinsed and recycled into something else.
I’ve had meals at 3 different hospitals in Oregon since 2016. I was a patient at two of them. Each meal was very tasty, restaurant quality.
