I'm amazed at how you mentioned hospital food several times, and how they are using actual natural medicine-food. The only similar thing I have heard is the use of probiotic drinks in Russian hospitals. How nice it would be if they actually gave you healing food in a place intended for healing, instead of industrial chicken soup and sugary gelatins.

@stortebeker Never heard of Ayurvedic hospitals?
Sure thing. But those are just like... let me see what I can compare them to... dentists who use hypnosis instead of anesthesia. Though they do exist, they are far from being mainstream. Like Artemis said, in Thailand it's an integrated part of the culture, be it in public or private hospitals. That's what I meant.
All Thai hospitals serve known, standard "healing foods" - mostly a bone broth-rice soup, bitter melon soup and fruit. Government hospitals, private hospitals - it's an ingrained part of the culture here to rest the digestive system when you are sick and to give nourishing soups. No jello here. LOL.
