TED Talk featuring Robyn O’Brien

 




I found this particular TED talk very interesting. Robyn O'Brien is the author of “The Unhealthy Truth: How Our Food Is Making Us Sick and What We Can Do About It”  and an advocate for safer foods.


I had never heard of Robyn, but was intrigued at the headline by our friends over at Elephant Journal that moving to the U.S. will increase your chances of getting cancer by 400%. As some of you may know, my mom has just been diagnosed with metastatic cancer, and this not her first rodeo either - Mom has battled breast cancer three times before.


Robyn's particular story is interesting because she is a former business woman who worked for the food industry before becoming an advocate.
