Shedding Light on the Food Industry, an interview with Robyn O’Brien, author of the new book that exposes the food industry in the United States, called The Unhealthy Truth.

A Texas native raised on Twinkies and PoBoys, Robyn O’Brien is a critically-acclaimed author, researcher and mother of four who has leveraged her experience as a food industry analyst to uncovering how one of life’s most basic activities – eating – has become a risk to our health. Her work has been praised by Ted Turner, Dr. Oz, Erin Brockovich and seen in the New York Times, on CNN, the Today Show and other media.

In her first book, The Unhealthy Truth: How Our Food Is Making Us Sick and What We Can Do About It, using the resources and skills that she developed as an analyst in the food and technology industries, Robyn diagnoses the failing American food system and its financially-driven incentive structure that has allowed additives into the American food supply that have either been banned or labeled from foods in other developed countries, especially those served to children.
