About BL**DY time! Porridge is keeping diabetics in poor health while they're in hospital! (But, why should breakfast be any different to the rest of the cr*p you're fed while in hospital?)
BUT - it's not all good news:
AND - it gets worse:
This is the most ridiculous thing they could do!!! Those individual packs are PACKED with sugar (and, obviously, carbs) and so once the patients get a taste for it, they'll start having them every morning. They are sickly sweet - and when your BG is running high, you often crave sweet things.
The dietician will advise that a diabetic has porridge for breakfast. "Is porridge available?" they'll ask (by e-mail) to the wards. "Yes" will be the answer. "Great" the dietician will say - without realising that there is corn syrup, glucose and apple syrup in the porridge that the ward supplies to the patients.
It'll catch on, and then the NHS will have a massive, costly review to see how they are going to afford all of the individual packs of porridge that are gonna be gobbled up by uninformed, sugar craving patients who think those sugar packed porridge packets are healthy. Because the dietician TOLD THEM it is healthy.
THEN - the NHS will start buying porridge (the plain stuff) in bulk. The patients won't like it - because there is no corn syrup, glucose or apple syrup in it (although some carb sensitive patients will still get a "hit" from the carbs). The porridge doesn't get eaten. The cycle begins all over again.
Imagine, becoming accustomed (addicted?) to a food that you SHOULD NOT eat at all, IN HOSPITAL, and then buying it and keeping it in the cupbord at home. That's gonna send you right back to hospital.
We're doomed. I pray to God I never have to visit a hospital.
Hospitals are getting ready for privitisation, by ensuring repeat custom!!! :lol:
(Get he patients hooked on th efood that will make them sick, while they're in hospital for being sick!)
I don't trust 'em one little bit.
