My friend Anita sent me information about this new 4 part series about the health of our nation. HBO will be airing this series to subscribers at no charge. Check out the trailer and the fascinating infographics I downloaded from the main website.
Kudos to Kaiser for attempting to right this issue. Between my dad’s double knee replacement and my mother’s hip replacement surgeries, I have spent a decent amount of time at the Santa Clara Kaiser recently and was impressed with their efforts to promote heath. I feared the cafeteria food, but was pleasantly surprised to discover that I definitely had healthy vegan options within their cafeteria; the salad bar was wonderful and one day I even got vegan pho noodle soup (There were definitely unhealthy options there for those who wanted them though…I saw a LOT of fries making their way past the cashiers)! Kaiser also had Farmer’s Markets in their courtyard while we were there and had nutritionists walking around the cafeteria talking to people about nutrition. I see the effort they are making and only hope that they begin to lean even more toward plant-based diet recommendations.
I’ve been eagerly awaiting this series, but don’t have HBO. So I’m really happy that they are airing it for free and online. Thanks for sharing.
