PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — Children's Hospital of Philadelphia is opening a new feature of their Food Lab program with the launch of a new program to promote nutrition and address food insecurity.
"We've been talking the talk for a while, and then we're looking at why patients don't have good health outcomes, and it's because we're not looking deep enough," she said.
Brooke Belle is a mom whose family is one of the first participants of CHOP's Food Lab program. She says people are forced to make cheaper, poorer choices when the budget doesn't stretch to cover food for the whole month; but she points out there was a time when her family was doing just fine.
