Smile Fruit and Vegetables Prescription Program - FVRx
http://wholesomewave.org/wp-content/...m-Overview.pdf

There was an article in today's Daily Sun on page D8. The heading reads, "New York City doctors prescribe fresh fruits, vegetables to low-income patients."

It seems like a good program that's better than prescribing diet pills or other pills. Rather than just treating the symptoms it gets to the root of the problem. It doesn't work in every case but does work about 40 percent of the time to reduce body mass index.
