Not everyone has the means to ensure an adequate intake of food when hospitalized, perhaps far from home or when they are elderly and have a little or no family left.
2 to 3 days in the hospital most of us can tolerate but when it becomes weeks and perhaps months…
As someone else has noted, food in the hospital serves much more than just nutritional needs. In a long often boring day punctuated only by unpleasant procedures, meal time is something of an oasis. There is no reason it couldn’t be made much better than it is in most hospitals now.
YES! And many people don't have someone to bring them delicious, home-cooked meals. Or have the finances or availability to be able to order outside food.
