Now Playing: Birke Baehr, age 11, gives a TED Talk on What is Wrong with Our Food System



From Birke's mother:

This is my son. He first started asking questions when he was 8 after he saw a post online (over my shoulder) about mercury in HFCS. From there he did his own research and changed our family's conventional supermarket eating habits to local, organic, sustainable. He wrote this talk on his own and he said, "How can I tell what's wrong and what's right all in 5 minutes? Our kid had the freedom to think and learn for himself and I think he did a fine job

Imagine if every child was this well educated in how our food system really operates... and what a difference it would make to both our health and our environment.
