A Canadian health minister offered a taste test of a long-term care facility menu to members of the National Assembly and journalists following complaints earlier this year about residents being served powdered potatoes, according to an article on the CTV News website.
Gaetan Barrette said he wanted to demonstrate exactly what was served to elderly people at long-term healthcare facilities.
He said that changes were being made in public seniors’ homes in Quebec City and the Chaudiere Appalaches region, and he hopes they will spread to other areas.
"72 different recipes is a different choice every day, every meal for five weeks. How many people do you know that eat that differently at each meal for five weeks in a row?" said Barrette.
