http://www.med.umich.edu/opm/newspage/2002/fastfood.htm ANN ARBOR, MI - A trip to the hospital usually means either you or someone you know is in poor health and needs immediate medical attention. And when it's time to go home, most likely, your doctor will give you a list of do's and don'ts, including eat a healthy diet and make sure to exercise. So, when you see your favorite fast food restaurant inside the hospital that just told you to eat healthy, you may be getting a mixed message - a message it appears many of the nation's top health institutions are sending.

In a research letter published in the June 12 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association, researchers at the University of Michigan Health System and Ann Arbor VA Medical Center found 38 percent of the nation's top health institutions had regional or national fast food franchises on their main medical campuses. It's a statistic that is alarming to the authors of the letter.
