It's funny to think that some of the most unhealthy food is served to the already ill. But it's true. Hospitals have tight food budgets and processing constraints just like any institutional kitchen, making it difficult at times to source local, fresh food that heals the wounded and recovering. Some hospitals in the Bay area, however, are bucking this trend, and putting fresh local vegetables and fruits on patients' trays and cafetreria menus. One hospital in particular lucked out. The John Muir Health facilities scored excutive chef Alison Negrin who formerly was a chef at Alice Waters' restaurant, Chez Panisse, famous for spurring the restaurant agriculture movement in the area. She serves mostly fresh produce that often comes within 150 miles of the hospital. Even hamburgers served in the hospital cafes offer local grass-fed beef. Hospitals account for $12 billion worth of food purchases every year. Just think of the potential impact on hospital patients, visitors, and employees -- not to mention our local economies. More can be found in a new report by UC Davis researchers, called "Emerging Local Food Purchasing Initiatives in Northern California Hospitals." Source: UC Davis Comments (4)

It's true what our moms said...we are what we eat. In fact, it's truer than they thought. What I eat doesn't just affect me anymore, it affects all of us.
Unfortunately, the story of food can sometimes be complicated. But envirovores help each other out...which is why this blog will be bringing you news, tips, and information about food and the environment every step of the way.
