Hospital food must be different there than it is here.

Reminds me of when my wife delivered Money Jr.. It was about 8:30 p.m. when he arrived....too late for the hospital to provide her dinner. She hadn't had breakfast or lunch (b/c she was in labor), so it had been more than 24 hours since she'd eaten. McDonald's was the closest thing to the hospital, and she really wanted some fries.
Not being sure whether there were any food restrictions on a mother who had an hour before delivered, I ask the nurse, "She's hungry. What is she allowed to eat?"
"ANYTHING she wants."
"So, ummmm, McDonald's is OK?"
"Oh, yeah, McDonald's is fine."
"Ummmm....even though this is a hospital?"
"Yep, she can have whatever she wants."
Later, one of the nurses (who my wife knew) explained that they're much more concerned about new moms wanting to go outside to smoke a cigarette (or worse) than wanting fast food.
