What we saw in the movie shook both of us to our core and has had a significant effect on our focus on nutrition as a means to make people more healthy starting with ourselves. Today we came across a Ted talk video that had a similar effect on us. It is almost a readers digest version of Food Inc. The talk was given by a woman named Robyn O'Brien who has been called the Erin Brockovich of the food industry. She has also written a book called The Unhealthy Truth: One mothers shocking investigation into the dangers of Americas food supply and what every family can do to protect itself. I have not read the book yet but it has been added to what is becoming a long amazon wish list. If you have 20 minutes to spare the video is well worth the time. The talk will scare, anger, and motivate you all in 20 short minutes.

Isn't that the truth...those 18 minutes scared, angered and motivated me! Let me add one overwhelmed. It's so much to think about but yet I feel strongly that where I can make changes it needs to be acted on. It's info that has already been on my mind so I appreciate the reignited motivation.

I hear you Jen,
ReplyDeleteLike Robyn said in the video, it's the small changes that make things happen. You are already a living example for your little ones and those around you and actions you have already taken have made more difference than you even know. Just keep plugging along, we are so impressed by you.
