Plain-English Summary

This bill would allow veterans to receive prescriptions from the Department of Veterans Affairs for fresh produce and other healthy foods as part of their medical care, similar to how they currently receive prescriptions for medications. The goal is to help veterans improve their health and prevent chronic diseases like diabetes and heart disease through better nutrition. Veterans would be able to use these food prescriptions at participating grocery stores or farmers markets.
