My friend Anita sent me information about this new 4 part series about the health of our nation. Â HBO will be airing this series to subscribers at no charge. Â Check out the trailer and the fascinating infographics I downloaded from the main website.
Kudos to Kaiser for attempting to right this issue. Â 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. Â 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)! Â 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. Â I see the effort they are making and only hope that they begin to lean even more toward plant-based diet recommendations.
