Dr. Yum Project

The Dr. Yum Project is a non-profit organization on a mission to help families and communities overcome barriers to eating well.

These barriers include food insecurity, lack of basic cooking skills, misconceptions that eating healthy food must be expensive and time-intensive, unfamiliarity with fresh and whole foods, typical “picky eating”, and a lack of informational resources on how to raise children who enjoy nutritious foods. Physicians may also face barriers to sharing nutrition information with parents, including limited time, confidence, and a lack of practical nutrition education in their training.
