The “We Can” program enables the access to fruits and vegetables
essential to health, but often too expensive, by providing a prescrip-
tion for subsidized items from the farmers market. Each of the 35
families participating in the program receives one dollar per family
member per day to spend at a handful of markets around town.
Mark commented that this new program will help these families
learn how to buy healthy food. Most people have been
programmed to think that eating healthy is more expensive when
in reality, it can work out cheaper. He went on to further state
that fruits and vegetables are critical to our health because at
every breath, we humans create free radicals and other poisons
in our bodies. Healthy eating provides antioxidants that combat
these free radicals, protecting our cells and guarding our bodies.
The program is hosted by the Unity Health Care Upper Cardozo
Clinic in Washington DC. It plans to give out US$26,000 worth of
food prescriptions during its first run. The department of health
plans to double that amount in 2013.

Vie and a former Oklahoma State Star was locked in a duel with
Tiger Woods at the AT&T National which teed off at the Congressio-
