1st Set of Readings: Late April

" York region hospitals focus on food "
1. This article talks about how hospitals in the York Region are trying to improve the quality of the food served in the hospitals and to have them be freshly cooked. This improves the patients satisfaction with the hospital with so many meals being served a day.
2. I thought this was an interesting article because my whole life I have heard people complain about how unappetizing hospital food is. Hospital bills are very costly and the food should be of better quality because when you're sick and/or recovering, you would want appetizing food.

1. This article talks about how the public has been warned not to consume beef products that have the number 761 on them because they may be contaminated with e.coli bacteria. There has only been one reported illness from this meat. Contaminated meat may not look or smell contaminated but contains very harmful bacteria.
2. This article was interesting because I eat beef products and knowing that what I am eating can be potentially harmful, is concerning. Reading this article makes me consider cutting out meat products or cutting back on them to lower my chance of contracting e.coli.
