In terms of my father the diabetic trainer he was assigned had him eating foods that would cause his disease to go out of control.
He could not eat the way prescribed or his glucose was 300+ continuously.
The diabetic trainer prescribed potatoes, sugary fruits and items with a lot of sugar & starch and other foods that he cannot eat. For him he is VERY diabetic and eating the 200 grams of carbohydrate in the diet would not work.
So saying people don't listen can be a misnomer, sometimes what the experts believes in terms of nutrician is flawed.
As for hospitals I was generalizing, the fact is ALL business in this country get a strong public backing, usually with private loans that are guaranteed by the government. Locally most of our "empty" brand new mini malls are tax exempt unless they get filled and were built using private loans guaranteed by the city.
This practice transcends all levels of government and from what I can see usually does not work.
