Synopsis

Robyn O'Brien is not the most likely candidate for an anti-establishment crusade. A Houston native from a conservative family, this MBA and married mother of four was not someone who gave much thought to misguided government agencies and chemicals in our food—until the day her youngest daughter had a violent allergic reaction to eggs, and everything changed. The Unhealthy Truth is both the story of how one brave woman chose to take on the system and a call to action that shows how each of us can do our part and keep our own families safe.

O’Brien turns to accredited research conducted in Europe that confirms the toxicity of America’s food supply, and traces the relationship between Big Food and Big Money that has ensured that the United States is one of the only developed countries in the world to allow hidden toxins in our food—toxins that can be blamed for the alarming recent increases in allergies, ADHD, cancer, and asthma among our children. Featuring an action plan for weaning your family off dangerous chemicals one step at a time, The Unhealthy Truth is a must-listen for every parent—and for every concerned citizen—in America today.

This book was boring at times, and if I had a dime for every time the author talked about her "Mama Guilt"... I did learn why there has been such an increase in the number of kids/people affected by peanut, dairy, and other allergies. SPOILER: Over the past 10 years there has been a rise in the amoun......more

Goodreads review by Holly on May 07, 2013

I enjoyed Robyn O'Brien's conversational writing style because I prefer reading a book that feels like the author is conversing with me, rather than dryly lecturing me, and Robyn was both chatty and amusing throughout the book. Also, I very much appreciated her candor about her family's dietary issu......more

Goodreads review by Colette on April 01, 2013

I am rating this book a 3 primarily because I support the cause to understand more about our food supply and how it is making us sick. Despite this message, I found the book tedious, hard to read, repetitive, and not always entirely accurate. The author relies heavily on this story line: My child ate......more
