I couldnt make this one up if I tried!!! Reviewing the months menu for my father I am disturbed by some of the menu pairings as he is a diabetic. For example, one day the menu reads as follows: Lemon-Lime Salad Glazed Ham Slice Candied Yams Peas with Red Peppers Dinner Roll/Margarine Peach Cobbler Beverage Remember I said that he is a diabetic. So I contact the kitchen manager (this is not the first time) and I inquire why would a diabetic be given the above in one meal. Peas convert to starch when digested as does all of the other items listed (remember the ham has glaze). She said and I quote: well when the dietician does the menu she goes by calories. I reminded her of what I just said and made the comment one day I saw he had carrots and corn yet on another day he had carrots and cabbage. Her CLASSIC reply: well Ms. Fikes just like here the peas are serving as the vegetable on those days, one time the carrots served as the vegetable and on the other day it served as the starch. I said: THE SAME CARROT!!!! Tomorrow I will be receiving a call from the dietician that actually makes up the menus. REALLY???? How does the same food serve one food group one day and another food group the next???
