Laval\u2019s regional health authority has ordered that, from now on, the more than two million meals prepared each year at the Cit\u00e9 de la sant\u00e9<\/i> superhospital and its five health centres must all be nutritious. <\/p>\n

Gone from hospital cafeterias, snack bars and vending machines are fried, breaded and salty food and sugary drinks, thanks to a new food policy introduced this month. <\/p>\n

Agence de Sant\u00e9 et des services sociaux<\/i> spokeswoman St\u00e9phanie Daigneault told The Suburban<\/i> in an interview that the ban won\u2019t affect patients who are hospitalized. <\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s because those who are ill already have a food plan,\u201d she explained. \u201cThe new meal policy mostly affects visitors and employees, who buy meals at these facilities. It will also improve nutrition for ambulatory patients who can also eat there.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cThe food that will be served there will be healthier, thanks to the new guidelines,\u201d she added. \u201cBefore, we were serving fries, for example. <\/p>\n

Daigneault emphasized that it makes sense for a health facility to provide wholesome meals. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to promote a healthful lifestyle and help to prevent diet-related illnesses like diabetes and obesity.\u201d<\/p>\n
