Coca Cola and Pepsi, as mentioned in the article, both have a wide range of non-caloric bottled drinks, including water so I find it hard to get too exercised that they supply drinks to hospitals. I am assuming they are not serving coke with the patients' meals (but probably are serving juice!).

At least I can get a water or diet coke from the vending machine, but rarely do I see almonds or any type of nut in the vending machine unless it's in the form of a sugar laden trail mix. "Baked" chips or other low fat stuff, they have that too.

The hospital cafeterias are not much better though there might be a salad bar which may or may not have protein to go with the greens.
