Um....a raffle prize for the one who manages to entice the most
patients on the cardiac unit to start the day with the
Supa-English-style Sunshine Sausage and Bacon Burger Deep Fried
Lardo-Brekk,  with Side Order of Chunki-Fries followed by 'Fruit'
Flavoured Shake with Double Cream?

It's worse than this, in fact, because on discharge, patients in the
cardiac unit can choose the healthiest diet they wish, and they're
not obliged to continue any heart-attack-on-a-plate  breakfasts if
they don't wish to.

It's not the same with formula fed babies, whose mothers may then
find it quite hard to go back to bf....
