Abstract

Poor diet is the number one risk factor for death globally; yet, few adults meet the dietary guidelines for optimal health. Food is medicine initiatives including food pharmacies, produce prescriptions, and medically tailored meals are emerging models to improve diet and reduce diet-related disease. These initiatives target barriers to healthy eating, including access, nutrition knowledge, culinary skill, motivation, and support. The following will discuss significant barriers to healthy eating and describe the strategies employed within these initiatives to overcome such barriers.
