I would like to share this video with my readers because I can’t help but want to spread this to every single person I know…and hope they will share it with everyone they know as well. It’s important for us to know what is in our food. Most of us think if it is sold in our stores, it can’t be bad for you. We trust the FDA and our government with our lives and our health, but as you will see…you shouldn’t. Please take 18 minutes to watch this TED Talk video by Robyn O’Brien – a mom and business woman we can all relate to. Comment below and share you thoughts once you watch this.
Robyn shares her personal story and how it inspired her current path as a “Real Food” evangelist. Grounded in a successful Wall Street career that was more interested in food as good business than good-for-you, this mother of four was shaken awake by the dangerous allergic reaction of one of her children to a “typical” breakfast. Her mission to unearth the cause revealed more about the food industry than she could stomach, and impelled her to share her findings with others. Informative and inspiring.
