Plant-Based Meals Win at Hospitals | Canada News
Description
Hospitals in B.C. could slash emissions and boost patient satisfaction by serving more plant-based meals—new research from UBC proves it. At Vancouver General Hospital, a chef-led menu overhaul featuring chickpea curry and tofu noodles cut greenhouse gases by 39%, slashed food waste, and earned 84% patient approval—all while proving tasty food wins over skeptics. The six-month pilot hints at wider adoption, with similar programs launching in D.C. and Fraser Health hospitals signing on to the Cool Food Pledge, showing that even small dietary shifts can pack a big climate punch.
