_bThe importance of good nutrition for individual health andwell-being is widely recognized, yet for a significant number ofpeople who rely on institutions for food and nutrition, thisimportance has not always been a primary consideration. People,therefore, may find themselves consuming food they would notordinarily choose to eat, with, in some cases, restricted choicesprecluding individual preferences and compromising health. In recent years, there have been major advances in the qualityof catering in some areas, particularly schools. Other institutionswhich have not been thrust into the media spotlight have fared lesswell in terms of policy drive and commitment.This insightful new book looks in detail at five institutions:schools, hospitals, care homes for the elderly, prisons and thearmed forces. As well as providing a fascinating history of theprovision of food in each institution, each section considers:current policy and standards and their implementation adequacy of food provided with regard to the health status anddietary requirements of the people in the care of eachinstitution efficiency of catering organization and issues relating tocontract tendering, expenditure and procurementA broad spectrum of further relevant issues is also covered,including the meaning of food to those in institutions anddeterminants of choice.
