Though health professionals often blame high-fat, high-calorie fast food for contributing to Americans' expanding waistlines and related health woes,
more than one third of the nation's leading hospitals
have fast-food restaurants on their premises.
A study done earlier this year found that nearly 40% of hospitals said they had fast-food franchises on their main grounds. Several hospitals actually contracted with two chains simultaneously.
In addition, one medical center reported a fast-food chain in one of its associated hospitals. And another hospital that had closed a fast-food restaurant in 1999 subsequently opened up a hospital-owned restaurant with a similar menu.
Most of the fast-food restaurants mentioned in the survey were burger chains such as Hardee's, Wendy's and McDonald's. Others had pizza franchises and one had a Subway.

The fast food joints are for the convenience of friends and family of patients, for the bottom line of the hospital, but not for the patients. Even on those rare occasions when you catch something interesting, and this is one of them, you're guaranteed to FUBAR it and turn it into something too stupid for further serious consideration. The systemic redesign of care delivery would be a VERY GOOD THING with which I'm sure DMG would agree. It's also an opportunity for economic development and innovation. But anything that complicated and constructive is vastly beyond the reductionist absurdity you've shown yourself capable of wrapping your mind around, still less fit into one of your ignant extremist "memes".Denmark Vesey said ...
The above stupidity is a prime example of what happens to the brains of people who live on a diet of the dead flesh of cloned factory raised animals and processed genetically modified carbohydrates soaked in pesticides and growth hormones.
The obvious contradiction of a so-called "health care" facility selling
the most unhealthy food in the history of mankind ... escapes the cognitive capacity of the supposedly educated Plantation Negro.
The misplaced hostility and disproportionate contempt of Plantation Diet Eaters, directed at those who champion natural food, is fueled by the same sense of resentment and jealousy that often caused conflict between Plantation slaves and Free Blacks.
What a person eats is the greatest reflection of what they think of themselves. The more you love yourself ... the less likely are you to eat a diet that poisons you, that makes you sick and that makes grown men grow tits.
CNu and DMG pick little playfights because deep down inside they are arguing "If uh PlanTayShun Diet Iz Good Enuf Fo' Me ... Why it aint good Enuf fo' you!".
Well... Cuz I'm better than you negro.
You cats are still slaves, more comfortable with Massa or his technocratic substitute dictating your diet than you are selecting what you ingest yourself.
Eat what you want. Sniff vaccines up your nose. I'm going to continue to sing the praises of natural food and natural medicine.
