Last Sunday my dad had a mild heart attack and was taken into our local area hospital in Antrim. So they did all the usual tests and put him into the (excellent) cardiac care unit. But while visiting one day, I saw the weirdest of things. Now remember, we’re in a cardiac care unit with patients that aren’t in the best form for whatever reason. Walls are covered in posters reminding patients to eat healthy, exercise and reduce stress.

Then … around comes a woman pushing a trolley. I could not believe my eyes! She was in the ward trying to sell chocolates, crisps, cola and all sorts of sweets! What on earth is that about? Why bother sticking up a pile of posters trying to get these people to change their ways and then tempting them to continue to eat unhealthily?
