In today's episode we're exploring the major overhaul of hospital meals directed by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
New federal guidelines are forcing hospitals to align their menus with the 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines, effectively targeting ultra-processed foods and sugary beverages.
We examine the scientific link between processed diets and chronic disease, which currently accounts for 90% of healthcare expenditures.
From grilled salmon to plant-based proteins, we discuss whether these changes will truly improve patient recovery or if they are merely "political theatre". Join us as we dissect the future of clinical nutrition.
