Drawn images instead of photographs of foods Consumer research indicated that those who are more likely to have a poor diet, preferred drawn images. To make the model accessible to the whole population drawn images have been used. The foods included were understood by consumers to be emblematic of the wider food group and are representative of commonly consumed and widely recognised foods.

Remember that sick cookery should half do the work of your poor patient's weak digestion. But if you further impair it with your bad articles, I know not what is to become of him or it. If the nurse in an intelligent being, and not a mere carrier of diets to and from the patient, let her exercise her intelligence in these things. Florence Nightingale Notes on Nursing. 1859

Final words Few patients wish to be ill and in hospital. The NHS owes it to its patients to help them recover quickly, to comfort and support them in the face of chronic or terminal illness, and to make their hospital stay as pleasant as possible. Delicious, nutritious and wholesome food is an important weapon in the fight against mediocre care, but it is more than just that. The importance of food extends to its role in creating a healthier workforce, a more efficient use of money and a stronger economy. It should not be neglected, but rather acclaimed and celebrated. We must remember that to achieve this is the responsibility of us all.
