Food for Thought

Food for Thought aims to better integrate healthy and sustainable eating habits into the practice of medicine by educating young clinicians about diets that are healthy for both the individual and the world. Our club brings together people of all backgrounds and dietary needs to get information and share their knowledge with others in an effort to increase awareness of nutrition and its wider role in the health of our bodies and the environment.

Our educational events encompass all types of diets and nutritional issues. These activities introduce club members to alternative menus by providing only vegetarian options.

We also provide opportunities for students to sample and learn to make foods from a variety of cultures and special diets, and teach them how to eat healthy on the limited time and budget faced by medical students.
