On the subject of hospital food, I noticed this as well.  Went to visit my 
father-in-law after his heart surgery at lunchtime one day.  He had been 
served a burger and french fries!  In my personal journey toward better 
health, I've come to realize that dietitians are not the best place to go for 
nutrition information.  In a previous life, I sold institutional food 
products, and I found it curious how many hospital dietitians were very fat!
