Unhealthy food isn’t the only problem. The environment for quality sleep is as bad as the food. Lights, beeping machines, etc. It’s as if hospitals don’t understand - or don’t care? - the basic ingredients of recovery from compromised health.

Misleading title - the study was limited to food at 2 German hospitals, and 3 German nursing homes. Those 5 were not randomly selected.

And the study only looked at the food served to patients and residents - not what they actually ate.
