Cool! It's an interesting idea. I suppose this is a bad time to 
mention that Salisbury Steak is one of very few such dishes where we 
can pretty confidently trace its origin, and the origin of its name, 
to Dr. James Salisbury, a nineteenth-century precursor to Dr. Atkins, 
whose experiments appeared to show that illnesses on the part of some 
Union soldiers in the American Civil War were traceable to a diet 
consisting almost entirely of carbohydrates... his curative regimen, 
which enjoyed considerable vogue for nearly 75 years after the end of 
the War, was known as The Salisbury Diet, and an important element of 
it was a particular scraped beefsteak dish.

Made according to Salisbury's recipe, it's actually quite delicious. 
Unfortunately, school and hospital food services don't appear to 
follow that recipe ;-).
