Aaron Hartman, MD walks the streets of Venice on camera, contrasting fresh local food (fish markets, produce, boat vendors) with restaurants that rely on boxed/canned ingredients. He argues individuals must take control of their health by sourcing real food themselves and mentions a course called "Connected Health" and site resources to guide people toward cleaner, fresher food choices.
