The peanut butter scare, the pistachio scare, the ground beef scare … People seem awfully scared of food these days. Yet a potentially even more alarming food scare has been building for years, rarely reported and often dismissed as too “radical” to be true: Is there a link between the dramatic rise in childhood allergies and our increasingly “engineered” approach to food production?
Robyn O’Brien, a mother of four and food allergy crusader, thinks there is—and she exposes how and why in her new book, The Unhealthy Truth: How Our Food is Making Us Sick—and What We Can Do About It. The Unhealthy Truth is both the personal story of how O’Brien learned to cope with life-threatening food allergies in her children and a larger exposé of the largely unregulated tie between Big Food and Big Money.
O’Brien will be appearing at Border’s in Dallas at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, May 20.
