Some health-minded activists have launched a movement to serve patients fresh, seasonal food, and hospitals are beginning to change their menus accordingly. "They're starting to see food not simply as a cost but as a prevention-and-treatment issue," says Scott Exo, head of the Oregon-based Food Alliance...
