Manny shared with us how he and others are working on this project to change policy on how we address health and nutrition in this country. This collaboration with Tufts, where studies have and are being done on food and nutrition is an important part of this undertaking. Never has it been more important to have a healthy immune system as it is right now. Manny talked about what this could mean for shifting the current paradigm to using healthy food as medicine and perhaps even having food as a prescription. Now, this is a plan Food Integrity Now would whole-heartedly support. Listen below to learn more about these innovative ideas and proposed changes, which we feel are much needed.
