Guest guest Posted March 28, 2003 Report Share Posted March 28, 2003 The hospital where I gave birth to my baby is Brigham & Women's in Boston and they have both Vegetarian AND VEGAN!!! items on their menu. It was REALLY REALLY good - I had brought a bunch of food I had previously cooked and then frozen, and I didn't touch anything except one waffle. The rest of my stay I enjoyed the delicious food at the hospital - I was so surprised! - StarryValentine Thursday, March 27, 2003 1:03 PM Re: Digest Number 617 Hi all, Veggie Val here. Some hospitals are awful and some are apparently totally enlightened when it comes to healthy food. I think in this discussion, it helps to know the location of the hospital. If I had to make a guess, I'd bet the hospitals in the San Francisco, LA, and Seattle area are totally " with it " when it comes to vegetarian food. But hospitals in rural areas, the mid-west, or the southern US, are not. I found the UK to be surprisingly veggie aware. I found decent vegetarian options even in pubs (which you can't always say for New England), and enjoyed my favorite--Indian food--to my heart's content! But France is another story--oh, pity the vegetarian in France! My unenlightened hospital was in Norwood, MA. That traditional meat-front-end-loading and seafood diet is typical of New England. In the city of Boston itself, there is more variety (so more vegetarian options) but just outside the city, fugeddaboudit. Where was this 7th Day Adventist hospital that got sued? Is that a vegetarian religion (gasp!)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
