Discussion: In my workplace, there is a buffet that serves hot food (cooked in a central kitchen and comes every day in clean containers.) Should I continue to eat in the workplace? It is difficult for me to prepare food at home and carry it to work.

I recommend avoiding industrialized and processed food dishes for patients with chronic liver disease. Such food harms the already damaged liver. (You can eat simple salad, vegetables, and fruit dishes.)

Food cooked in a central kitchen often has the properties of industrialized food. Sometimes, the freshness is not maintained, and the quality of the oils and products is often not the same as that of home cooking. Since there is also an economic issue of possible subsidy here, I recommend eating only non-complex dishes, such as salad, cooked vegetables, natural fruit, and fish. It is advisable to avoid foods like raisins, pasta, and pizzas, which are predominantly industrialized anyway. It may be a partial solution that forces food to be brought from home, but it is healthier.
