Can Food Actually Be Medicine? These Doctors Say Yes Prescribing produce, crafting meals: More medical schools are teaching students how to cook and use food as a tool for treating patients.

Quoted in The New York Times on food as medicine: the point isn't helping doctors throw better dinner parties. It's making sure a nutritionist visit gets prescribed and paid for.

Can the right diet really cure all our health problems? Yes, food can be medicine — just not the way RFK Jr. means it.

We can't have #foodismedicine without also addressing the #SDOH that cause health problems in our communities.
