This Photo Of Hospital Food Served To A Pregnant Lady In Cork Has Kicked Off A Huge Debate

If you are unlucky enough to have to spent some time in hospital then you’ll know that the food they serve to patients is always at the centre of much debate. 

That debate was in full swing this morning with RTE running a piece about the hospital food after one of their journalists shared a picture of a meal that his wife had been served.

The photo that has been at the centre of debate this morning…

37 weeks pregnant + hospitalised with high blood pressure, a patient I met was served this. Is it acceptable? Report @TodaySOR aft 10. pic.twitter.com/6ckQYb6lPK

It led to others sharing similar photos…

And a heated debate…

The debate has been raging online and will feature on the Sean O’Rourke show today. It’s a debate that rears its head all the time in Ireland.

One interesting comparison is this food which was served to a lady who was pregnant in Japan. She shared stunning pictures and her story here.

Not great.
