Why isn't food considered 'preventative' medicine?!


Question: Shouldn't food be covered under my medical plan? If I don't eat I get sick, right?


Answers: Shouldn't food be covered under my medical plan? If I don't eat I get sick, right?

Makes sense to me but here in mid-continental America food is not taken seriously.

Even in hospitals the food is crap. I've been vegan for a long time so I really only eat organic and mostly grow my own. I'm constantly amazed with what is in the Standard American Diet. Not healthy in any way!

who tells you that food is not considered as preventative medicine? Many foods are now be researched for their preventive nature.

For example: Broccoli, cabbage, carrot are considered as preventive against cancer.
some spices like ginger , termeric, garlic are taken as preventive medicines against many diseases.

Garlic is now marketed as a medicine in form of capsule named as 'Garlic Pearls'.

so foods are now a days considered as preventative medicines.
