Well, nearly 4\u00a0months ago I wrote a big long piece about the birth of our new baby<\/a>, and\u00a0since I spent about 24 hours in a hospital, that\u00a0meant that they also tried to feed me a few meals at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Toronto, and since some folks were curious what vegan hospital food looked like…\u00a0here it is!<\/p>\n

\"TBC\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The first night, right after\u00a0surgery, no one got the vegan memo, and to be fair,\u00a0the hospital stay was unexpected (by me and them)\u00a0Sadly, there was some kind of icky chicken thing waiting for me, so I passed on it. JC had brought over some baked goods from TBC before we even knew we’d be meeting the baby that day, but he also made sure I had lots of buckets of ice water afterwards. I was too busy basking in the afterglow of meeting our little sapling anyway (plus it was super late in the evening.)<\/p>\n

\"Hospital<\/a><\/p>\n

In the morning I got oatmeal, and the person that brought me my tray said she had been vegan for a year or so and congratulated me on my long term veganness. She was also impressed that JC was also vegan since her partner and son would not do it. Despite that, I did however end up with a carton of (dairy) milk on my tray, but obviously skipped it (I think we’d all have a bad time.)<\/p>\n

I was quite surprised there was no soy milk offered at any meal. At a hospital stay in\u00a0Edmonton, AB once upon a time, I had more soymilk than I knew what to do with.<\/p>\n
