The hierarchy of bad food can be designated as follows, from best to worst. First is school canteen food on a good day (thank you pizza), then comes most airplane food. Then comes school food on a bad day, then, towering far above all the rest, comes hospital food. Those who think that sick people might need something a little better than reheated porridge and nutritionally questionable slop would be wrong!
No doubt about it, most healthcare catering leaves a lot to be desired. However, there isn't really any good alternative, unless you can get visitors to sneak in some snacks. Otherwise, things just get complicated, as illustrated by a recent TikTok posted by DoorDash driver @sexcwanch. Lamenting that she had had to take a $4 order to a customer in a hospital, some were sympathetic to the complications it posed — but others weren't impressed with her attitude. Sometimes, you've just got to accept a crappy meal for the sake of your health.
