@KHayhoeMany of us eat meals we had no hand in planning, whether at school, at work, or in the hospital. Often, we assume there's nothing we can do about them ... but one hospital just proved otherwise. Read on! 🍽️ Good news: At a Vancouver hospital, psychology & sustainability researchers teamed up with a chef, dietitians, and doctors to create new fish- and plant-rich dishes patients loved. Nutrition went up, food-related emissions went down, and more than 20 other hospitals are following suit! 🐟 Not-so-good news: As oceans warm, the algae at the base of the marine food web are making fewer of the omega-3s our eyes, brains, and hearts depend on. That shortfall travels all the way up to the fish on our plates. 🙋🏻‍♀️ What you can do: The kitchens at your school, workplace, or church serve more food in a week than you'll cook in a year. This makes them one of the highest-impact places to change what's on the plate. This week, find out who plans the menu at a cafeteria where you eat, and ask if they'd add more healthy and plant-rich options. You don't need a plan, a budget, or a title, just the willingness to ask 💚 https://www.talkingclimate.ca/p/climate-action-on-the-menu
