    Rockefeller Foundation Releases New Polling Data: Majority of Americans Want Food is Medicine Programs
    2025/06/12
    In the latest episode of BC Food News, Jennifer English discusses new polling data from The Rockefeller Foundation, showing a majority of Americans support incorporating Food is Medicine programs into U.S. healthcare. Despite high interest once aware, public understanding of these initiatives is relatively low. Food is Medicine programs, which include medically tailored meals and nutritional prescriptions, could be an effective method of managing chronic diseases like diabetes and obesity. They are also seen as a potential cost-saving measure, with projections indicating savings of up to $32.1 billion annually. In addition to the medical and economic benefits, survey results indicate a strong belief that such programs could improve the overall quality of health in the U.S. The Rockefeller Foundation is actively investing in these programs and related research, including a $100 million commitment to expanding access. Despite these promising aspects, polled individuals cited high costs of nutritious food as a significant barrier to program success. https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4447705-1&h=585967648&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rockefellerfoundation.org%2Freports%2Fpublic-perception-of-food-is-medicine-in-healthcare%2F&a=polling+datahttps://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4447705-1&h=1614407245&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cdc.gov%2Fpcd%2Fissues%2F2024%2F23_0267.htm&a=133+million+AmericansPOST datahttps://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4447705-1&h=4209483010&u=https%3A%2F%2Fpubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov%2F29634829%2F&a=500%2C000+deathshttps://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4447705-1&h=3699740544&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rockefellerfoundation.org%2Freports%2Ftrue-cost-of-food-measuring-what-matters-to-transform-the-u-s-food-system%2F&a=%241.1+trillion+per+yearhttps://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4447705-1&h=2036240756&u=https%3A%2F%2Fjamanetwork.com%2Fjournals%2Fjamanetworkopen%2Ffullarticle%2F2797397%3FresultClick%3D3%23google_vignette&a=%2432.1+billion+a+yearhttps://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4447705-1&h=1546335475&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rockefellerfoundation.org%2Fnews%2Fthe-rockefeller-foundation-to-increase-investment-in-u-s-food-is-medicine-solutions-to-100-million%2F&a=announced+its+%24100+million+investmenthttps://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4447705-1&h=2126020139&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.healthcarexfood.org%2F&a=Health+Care+by+Foodhttps://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4447705-1&h=2843329388&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rockefellerfoundation.org%2Fnews%2Fu-s-department-of-veterans-affairs-and-the-rockefeller-foundation-join-forces-to-increase-healthy-food-access-improve-health-outcomes-for-veterans%2F&a=U.S.+Department+of+Veterans+Affairshttps://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4447705-1&h=2731734079&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rockefellerfoundation.org%2Fnews%2Fu-s-department-of-health-and-human-services-and-the-rockefeller-foundation-partner-to-accelerate-the-adoption-of-food-is-medicine-in-health-systems%2F&a=Department+of+Health+and+Human+Serviceshttps://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4447705-1&h=2770012013&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rockefellerfoundation.org%2Fnews%2Frockefeller-foundation-invests-3-5-million-to-support-american-farmers-improve-nutrition-address-chronic-disease%2F&a=announced+%243.5+millionhttps://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4447705-1&h=3885534010&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.rockefellerfoundation.org%2Fsubscribe&a=www.rockefellerfoundation.org%2Fsubscribehttps://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4447705-1&h=2724830932&u=https%3A%2F%2Fc212.net%2Fc%2Flink%2F%3Ft%3D0%26l%3Den%26o%3D4433525-1%26h%3D3941255457%26u%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Ftwitter.com%252FRockefellerFdn%253Fref_src%253Dtwsrc%25255Egoogle%25257Ctwcamp%25255Eserp%25257Ctwgr%25255Eauthor%26a%3D%2540RockefellerFdn&a=%40RockefellerFdnmedia@rockfound.orghttps://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4447705-1&h=2252522252&u=https%3A%2F%2Fc212.net%2Fc%2Flink%2F%3Ft%3D0%26l%3Den%26o%3D4433525-1%26h%3D196641814%26u%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.linkedin.com%252Fcompany%252Fthe-rockefeller-foundation%26a%3D%2540the-rockefeller-foundation&a=%40the-rockefeller-foundation
