SXSW 2023

Stop Separating Food and Health

Description:

For millennia, food has been a part of medical practice, but as medical treatments and procedures modernized, many Western cultures shifted away from incorporating food into healthcare. Food and health advocates are working to change this, bridging the gap between medical institutions, communities, and the food we eat.
