No sugar free alternatives

Story from nhs.uk

"No sugar free alternatives"

About: University Hospital Of North Durham

I attended for a knee replacement.

Perfectly comfortable stay.

All staff caring, helpful and pleasant.

They worked hard and didn't waste a moment.

No problems with anything except the meals:

Plenty of (white) over-cooked pasta provided.

So over-cooked it resembled wall-paper paste.

No sugar free choices for breakfast,

Plenty of sugary cereals.

No marmite for the (white) toast but plenty of jam and marmalade. No wholemeal bread.

Timing of final meal so late, I had to skip it or have indigestion all night.

So glad to be home.

Don't they know about dietary recommendations?

Does anyone ask why so much food has to be thrown out?
