Feeding patients in Palliative care

In recent past I saw the method to feed patients in Palliative care centers / patients in COMA. A tube through nostrils & the patient barely understands the taste. The food (or just nutrient ... ?) is being passed rather forcefully.
These multivitamin / healthier powders (or similar options) provide the daily nutrients required.

However, it is really sad to see that, few among us have to go through these sufferings... every time when they are fed.
The primary / basic need for any living organism is Food - Humans are an edge over by knowing the art of presenting it, making it tasty, serving it.

Food has always been treated & developed as a culture. I was in full of tears to realise that this food culture is out from few lives and what remains is only the necessity.

May GOD let these enjoy food -
Miyaaon.

  1. Also the fast food culture is taking away a lot of value off the traditional food items. The oil and sodium stuffed fast food is degrading our palate.
