HOSPITAL .OOD

'atering for a hospital is $ompletely different from $atering for a restaurant. 7or one, it:s a far more $omple8 pro$ess be$ause the re#uirements of a di%erse group of patients with differentnutritional needs ha%e to be met. "wo, most patients ha%e poor appetite due to their medi$al$ondition or ha%e to refrain from $ertain foods due to food taboos. *i8 the two together and it$an $ause #uite a $hallenge.

"here is nothing glorious about hospital food judging by the most $ommon $omplaint of patients. Hospital food is blandI Although it is true that taste ultimately influen$es food intakeand hen$e, the pro$ess of re$o%ery, one $annot e8pe$t the food to taste good when ingredientsthat enhan$e fla%our are redu$ed. 7or e8ample, a mere two teaspoonfuls of oil are used to $ook a meal, whi$h $onsists of meat and %egetables.

'learly, hospital food $annot offer the best of both the $ulinary and $urati%e worldswhen it is the latter that takes pre$eden$e o%er the former in medi$al $are.

At the end of the day, health$are pro%iders are ad%o$ates of healthy eating and their $hallenge is to find ways to introdu$e food that is both tasty and nutritious. /n this respe$t, onefa%ourite saying of dietitians is JA diet is only su$$essful when it:s eatenI

enerally, healthy eating refers to $onsuming food that is low in fat, $holesterol, sugar and salt. As a result, one of the biggest $hallenges hospital $aterers fa$e is feeding a di%ersegroup of patients with different nutritional needs. Adding to that is the fa$t that patients ha%e

poor appetite due to their medi$al $ondition or ha%e to refrain from $ertain foods dues to taboos.Often too, patients $annot appre$iate hospital food for the simple reason that it is not the home9$ooked food they are a$$ustomed to.

/n order to a$hie%e greater effi$ien$y and e$onomies of s$ale, se%eral major hospitalsha%e assigned their food ser%i$e operations to independent $ompanies."he hospital menu is di%ided into two diet typesL the standard and the therapeuti$ diet

menu. "he regular diet is designed to a$hie%e and maintain optimal nutritional status in patientswho do not re#uire the use of spe$ifi$ nutrition to treat illness, injury or health $onditions. Onthe other hand, the therapeuti$ diet is a modifi$ation of the regular diet. "his type of diet maytake se%eral forms, su$h as pureed diet for patients who ha%e diffi$ulty in $hewing or swallowing, or a $alorie9modified diet for a diabeti$ person.

?aw ingredients su$h as %egetables, fruits, seafood, meat and poultry are brought intothe kit$hen and prepared at their respe$ti%e stations. "he stations are separated by partitions toa%oid $ross9$ontamination. 7or the %egetables, an organi$9based $hemi$al is used to remo%e

pesti$ides and fertili6ers residues.Dhen it $omes to food produ$tion, food safety and #uality remains top priority. 7ood

must be free from pathogens, $hemi$al and physi$al ha6ards. /n order to $omply with thisre#uirement, good manufa$turing and good hygiene pra$ti$es ha%e to be in pla$e. As for food#uality, only fresh ingredients are used and portion si6e is $orre$t for the type of diet. 'ookingand subse#uently ser%ing the food on trays at the $orre$t temperature is also $ru$ial to arrest

ba$terial growth."imeliness is another key fa$tor to ensure that $ooked food is dished out and ser%ed to

the patient as soon as possible so that Mhot food is ser%ed hot and $old food is ser%ed $old:. "hisis also to meet the window ser%ing time as laid out by the hospital.

THE SPOILT GENERATION AS A ONSUMER SUPERPOWER

"he a%erage 'hinese $onsumer has a monthly disposable in$ome of a meager 0) yuan. =aying44 yuan +?*132 for a pair of jeans may seem e8tra%agant to the a%erage 'hinese but not to!immy Nue. @ot if the jeans ha%e a $ool !a$k and !ones label on them, and not if the 229year9old student knows they are the real thing. "hey are the real thing. "hey are about four times the

pri$e of lo$al jeans but he feels the brand is worth it."here are ) million 'hinese like !immy Nue < young, urban and affluent < and they

ha%e the pur$hasing power to for$e the world:s biggest $ompanies to $hange their marketingstrategies. A uni#ue $ombination of histori$al $ir$umstan$es ha%e turned them into a generationlike no other. "hey are the produ$t of 'hina:s one9$hild poli$y, whi$h was introdu$e in 14(4 andhas $oin$ided with a period of unseen wealth $reation.

J"he one9$hild poli$y almost for$ed people to spoil their $hildren, says Ea%id

*$'aughan, a "okyo9based $onsumer resear$her for ad%ertising firm *$'ann95ri$kson. "hereis a generation who thinks that being spoilt is natural. As a result, they ha%e e8pensi%e tastes,and ha%e already established themsel%es as a $onsumer power.

/n a $ountry that on$e $elebrated the rough, proletarian look, they spend a monthly 32yuan on $osmeti$s alone, a$$ording to publi$ relations $ompany Hill and Knowlton. "hey wantnothing to do with pirated produ$ts. J"hey really hate fakes, said Hung Huang, publisher of Seventeen , a maga6ine for teenagers. JDhen their parents buy them fakes, they are reallyannoyed be$ause they think they are being ripped off, she said. Dhat they want is real brandsand in great e%er9$hanging %ariety, say market analysts.

;in$e they ha%e grown up witnessing a so$iety transform itself faster than any other before, they $onsider it natural to $onstantly $hange tastes and preferen$es. "he old dynami$s of brand loyalty goes out the window. /n other $ountries, it is a risk to $hange brands, but in 'hinait is a risk if you do not.

"his parti$ular urge for $hange $ould potentially ha%e politi$al $onse#uen$es at some point in the future, say some obser%ers. *any of the high9spending youth are 'hina:s elite,groomed at the $ountry:s best high affe$t the way they feel about how mu$h power they ha%e inmaking so$ial and e$onomi$ de$isions in 'hina, says Hung, the publisher.

'hina may soon ha%e its own breed of angry young men and women insisting on lea%ingtheir mark on so$iety. M?age: is $onsidered $ool by many 'hinese teenagers, who find their rolemodels among the likes of $hroni$ally moody rap king 5minem, a$$ording to Hung.

"hose attending elite s$hools often speak idiomati$ 5nglish with an Ameri$an a$$ent < thanks to nati%e language tea$hers < and may $ome a$ross as more $osmopolitan than their

parents.But for all their openness to the outside world, they $ould e%entually turn out to be$ome

e%en more nationalisti$ than the 'hinese before them. "his is what distinguishes the an$ient$apital of Beijing from ;hanghai, 'hina:s most $osmopolitan $ity, a$$ording to 'arl '. ?ohde, aEut$h resear$her of market trends. JBeijing is definitely also part of the world, but they ha%e akeener sense of preser%ing their 'hinese roots. "hat:s part of their pride, he says.

THE ORINO O RO ODILE

"he Orino$o $ro$odile, the largest predator in ;outh Ameri$a, has been designated by the ;wiss9 based Dorld 'onser%ation >nion as one of the 12 most endangered spe$ies in the world. /n the14 )s, these $ro$odiles were hunted so e8tensi%ely for their %aluable skins that in the late143)s, less than ()) $ro$odiles remained in the Orino$o ri%er system of Cene6uela and'olombia.

"o preser%e this spe$ies + crocodylus intermedius , se%eral Cene6uelans ha%e de$ided toa$t #ui$kly. "hey ha%e taken the initiati%e to set up breeding $entres and to date, there are four

pri%ately9run breeding $entres in the $ountry. As a result, many young $ro$odiles ha%e beenhat$hed and in the early 144)s, as many as 1))) young $ro$odiles ha%e been released in thellanos or sa%anna region of Cene6uela. "he 5n%ironment *inistry of Cene6uela is happy toreport that these $ro$odiles ha%e rea$hed maturity and are now beginning to reprodu$e naturally.

=uerto *iranda is one su$h pri%ate breeding $entre in Cene6uela. ;et in a forest9likesetting with numerous trees and lakes, it appears to be the perfe$t pla$e for breeding $ro$odiles.*any of these lakes are fen$ed off and in ea$h of these lakes, about two makes and se%eralfemales are left to enjoy the $ompany of one another. /t has been found that older, more fertilefemales $an regularly produ$e se%eral bat$hes of eggs ea$h year. /n one sitting, a 2)9year9old,for e8ample, $an lay as many as 0) eggs in the muddy banks of the lake. "hese eggs are then$arefully remo%ed and pla$ed in spe$ially prepared bo8es that are kept beneath high wattage

bulbs. "he warmth of the lights is essential in the in$ubation pro$ess.Baby $ro$odiles bred in $apti%ity often flourish and grow well be$ause they are kept safe

from their natural predators whi$h in$lude the snake, the fo8, the hawk, and man. After a year and ha%ing grown about a metre long, the young $ro$odiles are released into the wild.

Adult males $an grow longer than a lu8ury $ar +fi%e metres and weigh hea%ier than a

healthy $ow + 3)kg . Eespite their si6e, they $an run %ery fast o%er short distan$es and mo%ingthem about in the $entre $an pro%e to be %ery ha6ardous. "he $ro$odile is an aggressi%e $reatureand it has been obser%ed that the bigger they grow, the fier$er they be$ome. /n $apti%ity, thesereptiles are fed large $hunks of horse and donkey meat. 7eeding time is a serious affair as$ro$odiles snap and hiss at one another for meat to appease their sa%age appetites.

"he lo$al e8perts do not know how su$$essful these s$hemes are be$ause there is nofollow9up resear$h on the sur%i%al and reprodu$tion rates of the released $ro$odiles. ;$ar$ity of finan$ial resour$es and the diffi$ult terrain of Cene6uela ha%e been $ited as reasons for the la$k of follow9up. A $on$erned lo$al obser%er notes that although large tra$ts of land $rossing huge$attle ran$hes, where humans are s$ar$e and wildlife is flourishing, ha%e been de$lared as

prote$ted reser%es, the future is still un$ertain for the $ro$odile. "he obser%er hopes that natural

instincts will take over to enable the $ro$odile to sur%i%e and reprodu$e in the wild.
