... [+]When VitaBowl launched its food-as-medicine meal delivery business three years ago out of the Twitter building in San Francisco, its founding team of four had a bold vision in mind: weaving together medically tailored meals and health insurance providers to better service people suffering from chronic illnesses.
“Our goal is to essentially collaborate with the health insurance companies, so that these meals and programs are medically tailored and reimbursable, which is, quite frankly, very different than some other meal prep services,” said Yim, who also serves as executive chair of VitaBowl.

Food is medicine.
