WellBeing MD Weighing in on Chicago Tribune Coverage of Access to Healthy Food

A recent study reported in the Chicago Tribune, Access to grocers doesn't improve diets, study finds, counters the idea that more supermarkets can curb obesity in low-income neighborhoods.  WellBeingMD responded to the study:

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. Chinese Proverb.

This study is a call to action for all health protectors in America!  We must provide translational education for people to understand their relationship to real food. The disconnection from the farm to table has contributed a large part to this lack of understanding.

Under the mentorship of Dr. David Eisenberg and his Harvard Public School of Health course, Healthy Kitchens, Healthy Lives, WellBeingMD has constructed one of the first healthy kitchens within in the confines of a physician's office in America. 

Inscribed on the wall of the kitchen is Hippocrates ancient common sense wisdom: Let Food Be thy medicine and thy medicine be thy food.

Over the course of two years, empowering people to understand the basics of nutrition, how to read a food label and menu, we have seen powerful changes in lifestyles and food realted behaviors.
