hxrefactored 2014: let food be thy medicine & medicine be thy food
DESCRIPTION
Our health is the greatest gift we have and making informed decisions about the food we eat has been proven to prevent illnesses. Many people in the US are both overfed and undernourished resulting in myriad health issues. It has been estimated that one-third of the children born in the year 2000 will develop diabetes. This is completely preventable. Scores of academic and medical studies have concluded that the single most important factor in human health is nutrition, and our food (and how it’s produced) is something we can change. Mad*Pow's Experience Design Director, Megan Grocki, explores the landscape of the US food system and inspire participants to connect the dots between what we eat and our collective health.TRANSCRIPT
