I was served extremely delicious vegan options, the only problem being that they were extremely low in calories. I think people often forget that plant based food, despite being much higher in nutrients, is often much lower in calories and the portion size needs to be adjusted to reflect this. Otherwise, it has been shown that better nutrition can reduce the length of a patient’s time in hospital, so this is definitely something the NHS should consider.

Sick elderly people and children would probably prefer familiar meat-based meals to unfamiliar vegan options.
