    A Ted Talk about food in America and how it impacts our health

    Robyn O'Brien, who has an MBA, has done business analysis for corporations and is
    the mother of four children speaks eloquently of her awakening to the health effects of
    American food after her daughter had a severe allergic reaction. To me, it reveals how
    a heritage of scarcity consciousness apparently leads those in corporate management
    to the belief that "we can't afford to care." It is also a real indictment of the capitalist
    system when ignoring health consequences and treating your customers like guinea pigs
    is - as Ms O'Brien points out - more profitable than keeping products off the market until
    they're proven safe.
