At a hospital in a nearby Saint John NB, using the standard “Uh, it’s to save money” reasoning, the hospital administration decided that if was perfectly, ahem, reasonable to:

  1. Toast bread in a factory kitchen in Toronto;
  2. Freeze the toast;
  3. Ship the frozen toast to Saint John by truck (that’s 1,460 kms);
  4. Microwave them for the patients.

Were they trying to punish people for using the medical system?
