Finally, a doctor who gets it. Dr. Maring from Kaiser Permanente in California started a farmer's market in 2003. But guess where you can go to get the local veg? Right outside the hospital!!!!
He went one step further and started his own blog chock full of recipes, sound health advice, how to use veggies, and much more! If every physician in this country followed Dr. Maring's example, there would be a health and food revolution like no other! Here is the link to his blog/website. Dr. Preston Maring. It is also on the left hand side of this page under the heading Cooking, Growing, and Health.
We found out about Dr. Maring through a link to an article in the New York Times that came across our facebook page. This is an excerpt from the NYT article regarding Dr. Maring. "But increasingly, his reputation and perpetual motion revolve around his conviction that in the health professions, the kitchen must become as crucial as the clinic. Food is at the center of health and illness, he argues, and so doctors must make all aspects of it — growing, buying, cooking, eating — a mainstay of their medical educations, their personal lives and their practices."
Wow!
