Bill Summary
This bill would allow doctors at Veterans Affairs medical facilities to prescribe fresh produce to veterans as part of their medical treatment, similar to how they prescribe medications. The goal is to help veterans improve their health through better nutrition, particularly those dealing with chronic diseases like diabetes or heart disease. Veterans could then use these prescriptions at local farmers markets or grocery stores to purchase fruits and vegetables.
