I'm really careful about what I eat, I enjoy cooking and make almost everything from scratch. If I still have my marbles but have to eat bulk catering rubbish I think I will fade away very quickly.
I read a few years ago about a small chain of rest homes somewhere in the UK that made a point of serving fresh high quality food, and the health of their inmates was measurably better than that of their contemporaries who had to eat the ultra-processed junk that serves as food in most institutions. The extra cost wasn't huge and I imagine the reduced medical costs would easily cancel out the expense.
Perhaps we need a new law - all those who own rest homes or work in the food preparation for rest homes should be required to eat exactly the same diet as is served in their homes..
