                                According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, over 90% of the $4.5 trillion the U.S. spends annually on healthcare goes toward treating chronic conditions, many of which are closely linked to diet. Addressing this, the Food as Medicine Act is proposed legislation aimed at funding and expanding programs that integrate nutrition into healthcare to combat these diet-related illnesses.
