I wrangled all the information I could find--from tweets to votes--to see where the candidates stand on issues of food policy.

By getting them to approach food preparation with ease and awareness, this next generation of doctors is striving to provide building blocks for long-term health management. Students also teach free cooking classes to the public. Because medical students are being trained to prescribe healthy eating to their patients, Sarris says, the community classes are essential to their learning. “The hands-on component gets people to talk about food instead of nutrients. Food is something that unites us and we can all understand,” Sarris says. Written by Jasleena Grewal for YES! Magazine.
