And all wrapped up in a nice, benevolent 'it's for your own good!' wrapper. <br /><br /><i>"People will start bringing in their own food and drink..."</i> <br /><br />Most times I've visited someone in hospital, they have! No longer a few grapes, now edible, tasty food is sought.<br /><br /><i>"People go to the vending machine to get a tasty snack, not eat bird food."</i> <br /><br />Seeds seem to be the health nut's latest fad. Our coffee shop stocks loads of varieties. Never once seen anyone buy any.<br /><br /><i>"Someone who has a job to justify came up with the ban."</i><br /><br />Indeed. There's another post to cut.JuliaMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07844126589712842477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-4594936956570594912010-06-29T22:07:20.397+01:002010-06-29T22:07:20.397+01:00Sugar has loads of nutritional benefit.

Eat food with no sugars at all (no carbs either) and see how long you last. Then try another experiment. Don't drink a drop of water and see how long you last. You'll probably last a lot longer with the food than the water. But water has no nutritional benefit whatsoever. However you die very quickly if you don't have it.<br /><br />Basically they weren't forced to implement the ban. Someone who has a job to justify came up with the ban.SadButMadLadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17836368722377421009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-58526112835875761002010-06-29T17:59:28.603+01:002010-06-29T17:59:28.603+01:00Seeds?

Then some NHS 'manager' will start another 'initiative' to fix (ban) this and get the 'ever-so-deserved' bonus.<br /><br />Meanwhile, somewhere in the hospital where the managers don't have to go, C. diff competes with MRSA for the most patients killed.DerekPnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-82895350668944529292010-06-29T12:52:36.376+01:002010-06-29T12:52:36.376+01:00> sweetened tea and coffee offer no nutritional...> sweetened tea and coffee offer no nutritional benefit<br /><br />I'm sure diabetic people might know differently.<br /><br />When I had a blood test and went very faint after (no food), they offered me a sweet coffee and sweet biscuit.<br /><br />This is just pure neo-puritanism.
