40 Patients Who Bravely Posted Pictures Of Their Food On ‘Rate My Hospital Plate’

If you’re lucky, you’ll never have to experience hospital food firsthand, but for those who have, it’s not exactly a gourmet meal. I heard somewhere that hospital food is notoriously bland because they can’t serve salty or sugary dishes for obvious health reasons.

Makes sense, but that doesn’t stop people from posting their less-than-appealing meals in the ‘Rate My Hospital Plate’ Facebook group. Here’s hoping they get better soon—because this food sure isn’t.
