    I worked at a nursing home as a cook, I guess it was a nice one? We had a nutritionist and made like cafeteria food, then chopped half of it up for the people who had problems, then puréed it for the ones who couldn’t feed themselves.

    Profit has become a tyrant. We used to make people happy in its name, now we shape everything in its service.

      I was gonna say I work at one now and I must have really underestimated how much nicer it was than some others. I knew it was a nice one, but jeez.

      That sounds lovely. My mom worked in a long term care home for adults with disabilities and one way they cut corners was by puréing ALL of the food instead of catering to individual patient needs.

      Unfortunately, I disagree. I think it’s become hero. It shouldn’t but it is.
