Transparent food labeling means providing information that goes beyond the Nutrition Facts label. While the nutrition label provides important information to help you make healthy food choices, there is a strong push by consumers to require more information on food package labels and in restaurants.Whether you’re doing it to lose weight or just feel like a healthier version of yourself, food transparency is a great place to begin. Food transparency and accountability is a recent movement that has consumers asking for and getting accurate information about the ingredients in.
She says we’d all be healthier and eating much more nutritious food, if the food supply was transparent, enabling us to make better informed choices. Nonprofit health advocate? Not.But by enabling consumers to make informed decisions, it can play a crucial role in encouraging healthier food choices.
Consumers have a right to science-based nutritional information about the foods they eat and feed their children.Food ingredient transparency can benefit the consumer and producer both, with end-to-end traceability. The Case for Food Ingredient Transparency Consumers are demanding transparency when they buy food.Food transparency refers to the practice of being open and honest with customers in terms of food sourcing, ingredient lists, nutrition facts, allergen concerns, and ecological impact.
The amount of information shared between restaurant owners and patrons can vary anywhere from displaying calorie counts on your website to offering up the diet.10 Tips: Make Better Food Choices Tips for Women’s Health. Make yourself a priority and take time to care for yourself. ChooseMyPlate helps you choose the types and amounts of food and beverages you need. And, make time to be physically active, so you can do the things you want to do.
Find out what you.Having healthy food available and affordable in food retail and food service settings allows people to make healthier food choices. When healthy foods are not available, people may settle for foods that are higher in calories and lower in nutritional value.The Health Star Rating system, which was developed by the government jointly with food companies, consumer groups and NGOs and formally launched in June last year, addresses this.
The system ranks food products on a scale from half a star (least healthy) to five stars (most healthy), allowing you to make healthier choices at a glance.In this environment, consumers have demanded greater transparency from food companies. It can be inferred that food companies that recognize and support these consumer priorities can achieve long-term consumer loyalty and brand value.
Transparency in Food Labeling Creative Commons/USDAgov (Flickr) Since its passage in 1990, the Nutrition Facts label has been a critical tool in helping consumers better navi-gate food decisions. Over this time, the food industry has tried to undermine efforts to improve and update the label. FACT SHEET.You can help your family eat better and balance their energy by learning to choose lower calorie, lower fat alternatives to some of their favorite foods. Use the Nutrition Facts label found on food packages to make smarter food choices.
This example below is a Nutrition Facts label is from a macaroni and cheese dinner.Abstract: “There is evidence that easily accessible, comprehensible and consistent nutrient information on the front of packaged foods could assist shoppers to make healthier food choices.At the end of 2016, we updated regulations about food labels and their: nutrition facts table; list of ingredients; These changes will make it easier to compare similar products to make healthier choices.. To help you make healthier food choices, we conducted two separate consultations on front-of-package nutrition labellin.
Make mealtimes about more than just healthy food. Making time to sit down as a family to eat a home-cooked meal not only sets a great example for kids about the importance of healthy food, it can bring a family together—even moody teenagers love to eat tasty, home-cooked meals!

This approach caters to the more engaged, more affluent consumer. There will be a niche market for such services and information. If we want to transform the entire society, we need to change policy so that anyone who puts pollution or fertilizer or antibiotics will be required to pay a fee (if most people feel that such actions should be discouraged). We can use random surveys to discern whether the overall amount of pollution or rate of taking of this or that resource is acceptable. By adjusting the fees, we will get the world that (the average opinion of) the people say(s) we should have. That would be a real democracy. We could give the proceeds of all fees collected to the people.
When overall rates of putting pollution and taking resources matches what the people think is most appropriate, because the right fees are being charged, the prices would reflect those impacts that some of us may not be interested in researching, but that most of us think are worthy of consideration. Prices would reflect true costs. (That price in SuperSaverMart would not be lying to us about the true costs… That which is harmful to the environment or to society (because it accelerates development of antibiotic resistance, for example) would have a higher price tag. The most harmful practices would be eliminated from industry and agriculture.

@B1gHagar Small farmers, meaning ones that would be the most willing to add their farms to the database because they farm ethically? Or small factory farms? In which case, good.
The transparency she’s asking for is driving out small farmers. Watch Joe Salatin’s videos. He explains it much better than I can.
All the values you listed like LGBT, reproductive rights, end of life, etc. All very important, lets add to that diet and lifestyle. I would much rather see a doctor that is vegan:D
Hey i live in Canada and was wondering if anyone knows of a similar site
@gpmoo7
because transparency decease their profits.
everything is about profits in business.
As long as rich white hipsters with discretionary income promote shopping at whole foods (now supplied by China) I don’t see change happening. We need a stronger economy first. Vote for change.
I live in a high calorie environment full of processed food and lack of activity spaces. Pollution is a problem too and so is crime. I just create my own limited safe space:(
Can the medical team disclose the names of a covid-19 patient? Is it legal???? Need an answer ASAP!
Few realize a SCOTUS decision of the past has brought about a change to society that none could foresee. Lawyers were allowed to advertise and advertise they do. Everybody is aware of the ads on television promoting greed over responsibility. Doctors became “deep pockets” and perfection was expected or a law suit would follow. Even today, as our Legislatures discuss “stimulus”, protection from vulture lawyers is a topic. SAD
The problem is that the medical field actually does not know what they are doing, like an electrician or plumber. They are “practicing” and this is a very telling difference.
I don’t trust doctors implicitly. I do not feel they have my best interests at heart, but rather the interests of the organization they are in.
One blatant example is routine circumcision of infants. It is done on healthy patients and results in the loss of a healthy functional part of the body of the patient. And it is done without ANY of the normal protocols concerning surgery. They are actually performing an amputation without any diagnosis and as such it is a violation of the ethical standards they should be following. Now you know why I really don’t trust doctors.
By many lawsuits they have become defensive. The enemy of this is us.
Unfortunately, the so called healthcare system in the US is fundamentally broken and in dire need of a complete overhaul (hint: single payer). And yet, even in the best healthcare systems worldwide, more transparency is still needed. Thank you Dr. Leana Wen for serving humanity nobly.

I know exactly what she is saying. I went through the same thing with my Mom.
Good on her. The arrogance of these doctors what are they afraid of? I’m a surgeon and would be more than happy to sign up (if we had an equivalent system in Australia). Most of us became doctors to help patients not lie to them
Dr. Wen suffers from naivete or idealism; which are just aspects of the same thing. While there are patient’s and families that will feel comforted by your taking the time to inform them, there are patients and families who hate authority figures and are hateful and suspicious of institutions and will use any information you give them against you. Having tried for years to provide the most information to families and patients myself, I have the emotional scars… the cost of such naivete. There are even patients who will hate you for not going along with their insistence that there is something wrong when there is nothing objectively wrong, but they have some agenda which has nothing to do with their actual medical condition. This is really, really the speech of someone naive and idealistic… and I completely understand both what she is saying and the reaction of her colleagues. For some patients, not as rare as you might think, seeing a doctor is like playing a game show where they actually hope something will go wrong so they can sue! I wish all my interactions with patients had been taped for all the extensive time spent explaining things to people thoughtfully who turn around and insist you never mentioned that! It has become a sport among certain groups in certain places in the country that certain kinds of professionals are fair game. In certain places in this country, it can be exactly the opposite where everything you do is appreciated. I hope Dr. Wen finds the right place for her idealism.
Transparency!
Whether you are a doctor, politician or a priest.
Doctors shouldn’t be biased, but they are. So transparency is necessary. Because although we all doctors for services, we aren’t asking them to make life decisions for us, that we have to live with, in the end.
I’m so lucky, my Doctor sits down with me and asks how I’m doing every time I go in. He genuinely tries to help me. I’ve literally kept him as my doctor for that reason, even when i had to switch insurance companies or pay out of pocket. When i told him I couldn’t afford it after losing a job, he told me my visits would be free after that and he would figure out payment later. Even though it was for minor check ups, it made me feel like somebody cared. Because of that, I felt comfortable enough to go see him when my depression was at its worse. And he helped get find a proper psychiatrist and some support groups. Kudos to all the Doctors and Nurses out there right now putting their lives on the line to fight COVID19.
She’s fighting the symptoms, not the disease. Such practices will continue so long society can put a price tag on human life.
Wow…the doctors’ reactions to calls for transparency was very shocking. It confirms everything I suspected about them…they are conflicted humans just like everyone else. This is the main reason Google is my main health provider.
the Whoisyourdoctor website needs a version for politicians; the same way doctors decisions are swayed but who pays them, politicians are swayed.
America sounds like a crazy and scary place for people who want to be honest. Or to be a patient.
You are so right in New Zealand our public health sytem is so broken the doctors deciding your treatment are a panel that have never seen you in person and often ignore the doctor who did’s recomendations. And practice a tick box excercise. Talk about low trust we have zero trust in our doctors in NZ
My priority is preventing illness. I wish I could find a doctor who was only paid if I stay healthy. That and the great long waits for a doctor are ridiculous. If a doctor keeps me waiting I find a new doctor.
Thanks for this info. Fortunately, my cancer WAS cured, it’s been 20 years.
But there are, for some reason, a LOT of right-wing doctors. Seems at odds with their oath to HELP people, but…
The only solution I can think of for the oncologist who has been bought off by the drug company is to ask and explain: ” I am fully aware of the relationship between doctors and drug companies. Is this really the best choice, or the one that makes you the most money? My survivors without my asking have decided to hold you physically responsible. And now that you know, it IS too late to back out. Wanna recheck my chart?”
If not law, maybe more transparency via a website or organization? Not objection by a hospital, one for all doctors from different hospitals.
Hold my yogamat, this is going to be a long story.
I’ve had a stroke when I was 23. Upon this event they found my heart had a small hole, 3mm wide, between the chambers, that could have led to the stroke. My cardiologist said he could fix it. I trusted him, so I signed the papers for surgery. When I came home, I found out they’d put a 3cm device in my heart, versus the 3mm hole that was there before.
At 25, I had a shivering fever for 3 months, my doctor kept saying “it’s just a flu, take this herbal remedy”. But I kept on losing weight, and shivering, to the point I was 40kg (dressed), and the whole bed trembled when I was shivering. I called a virologist, and he immediately hospitalized me. It was endocarditis, a disease that could lead to death, if not treated with antibiotics, and it was located right underneath the 3 cm device.
But hold on, it’s not over.
At 27 I went to have my usual cardio-check. I read on the paper “severe atrial dilation” and I asked the cardiologist (a different one) what was the meaning. He said nothing, and went on with his patients. I guessed it was not important, maybe a side effect oh antibiotics. My life went on, while I was busy juggling between my 2 jobs, my breathlessness and my inexplicable incapacity of walking on a slope.
At age 30, at another cardio check, the cardiologist said “oh my, this is so severe we need to hospitalize you for further examination”. But I had to go through other two hospitals to get my diagnosis. Turns out it was PULMONARY HYPERTENSION, secondary to that endocarditis.
I was assigned to a doctor (one of the very few who’s had his specialization in PH) that every time I speak a symptom, or a thing I would like to do (I’m 32, I have a hunger that you will never taste), raises her voice and talks to me like I was a child, and who I never empathyzed with. In fact, when I had severe menstrual bleeding, due to the anticoagulant they were giving me, she said “there’s always hysterectomy”, removal of the uterus. By this time, I was confident enough to pack my bags, ask my fianceé to drive me to a town nearby, which had a gynecology hospital, and university. I had emoglibin under my shoes, if they asked me to stand up from the wheelchair I would faint, and they immediately hospitalized me. Cardiologists, surgeons, pneumologists, and of course, gynecologists, came to see me and prescribed that I take an anticoagulant, with regular blood tests.
I must say, I trust my GP, after years of search, I finally found the right one. A drop into an ocean.
My life has been significally shortened by the lack of empathy, and the blunt incompetence of doctors (GP’s and specialists alike). I understand that medicine is not like math, it has to be taylored to a human being, and for this reason I say: YOU NEED TO FIND THE RIGHT DOCTOR. If you don’t like how they treat you, how they tell you things, or a medicine that they gave you is not solving the problem, first talk to them and try to sort it out. If it doesn’t work, for Mother Earth’s sake, ask a second opinion.
Doctors are just as valuable as teachers. No more and no less. We need doctors in rural parts of the country. They can be just like Dr. McCoy, just an old country doctor.
This audience is so quiet, even when funny remarks are floating in the air, are they from Eastern Europe?
Sounds like a profession with deep conflicts of interest. Time to regulate
In the Netherlands, a female doctor opened a second opinion practice. There, people could consult with her for a full hour about their issue. Reaction? Other doctors were furious! I’m afraid I cannot tell you their reasons, because it all bounced off my brain. What could POSSIBLY be wrong with a Second Opinion practice?
This isn’t news.. ‘Overdosed’ Dr. Jon Abramson
https://g.co/kgs/kLm5XW
Exactly why i only go to docs when im seriously ill or cut open or shoot lol. Only in an emergency thats it and it shouldn’t be this way we need renew our Government, Healthcare, EMPLOYMENT and we need to life a truely free life nit a government reality……………..
Its 2020 and this is just what I am looking for. But the website is gone? Or has it changed name?
Doctors don’t really “care” about their patients…all they care about is paying off their Mercedes…sad but true…Doctors are no more “trustworthy” as Dealership Mechanics…lol…
Now after the MSKCC COI scandal, this voluntary disclosure needs actual government regulation.
not a single graph, number or reference on this study about what people want to know from their doctors. this is very unscientific and unethical.
Doctors, their corporate masters, the med. insurance industry and lawyers played a large part in the ruination of the U.S.
Your email got hacked because you’re not that smart. I see the problem with soap boxers is that they have intellectuality for ONE thing but their intelligence doesn’t encompass the most basic of things. Which means………you are just another puppet and don’t actually elude to the real truth. I don’t trust anything anyone says anymore. Every man for themselves.
(female btw, fu DEMOS).
Doctor’s can only do what they are trained to do, but they ARE NOT trained how to cure diseases. They can’t even cure heartburn.
I like her attitude and her empathy and caring for people it’s commendable. No doubt this was instilled in her through her parents who probably received it from their parents. I hate to say it but she’s also a little nieve when it comes to America business values and that’s understandable concidering where they came from and their values in their community. American Ink. It is a land of oppertuinity and opportunities don’t have values. She needs to educate herself in what America is really about and not what she would like it to be. ������
Medical system = psychopathic business model.
They are actively making us sick with vaccines, statins and lies so they can “treat our symptoms”.
Wow, Chinese are very intelligent people, look at this woman. ��
I love this lady. Excellent and brave. I admire her very much.
I find it strange doctors will ask you if you smoke or do drugs, but not what you eat-and americans are 40 % obese, so it should be an important question…and the fact many are paid by pharmaceutical companies to proscribe their drugs,,,I would definitely use her app on transparent doctors to find one I can trust. Good work, Dr. Wen!
Leana Wen, your overly dramatic delivery gets in the way of your important message. Talk straight, be authentic.
The blatant murdering of the poor in NY during the current Covid19 crisis has permanently ended my trust of the medical profession. There were to many ICU nurses blowing the whistle about false Covid19 diagnoses with too many unnecessary intubations that resulted in premature death. The doctors demanded verbal DNR orders and did not inform the family. The patients were isolated, with no visitors allowed. After all, they might get infected. If you do not believe me, just watch the nurse discuss this at this link: https://youtu.be/V_Iqsiaozvw
The medical community has lost all credibility and compromised all integrity by participating in this. No one is holding them accountable since they were just poor people without the means to get legal council and support.
Q) What is the difference between God and a doctor?
A) God doesn’t think he’s a Doctor!
The third category, those captured by an ideology… prove the NPC meme.
Thank God I have a wonderful Dr. he tended to my mother. When she was 99 he kept her as confortable as possible But did not do anything more Then when my husband had stage 4 cancer he only did things to keep him pain free and as comfortable as possible knowing only a miracle from God could keep him alive he was 62 when he died. This wonderful doctor is dr h pavon. Thank you God for this wonderful man.He has tended to me for 40 years
“I’m American and I am already here”… okay I almost cried! Tears of joy though!!!!
Dr. Wen. You are on the right track. You are my hero. Smart, brave, articulate, and caring. We need more honesty and transparency in our lives!
I recently hurt my ankle and went to emergency. It hurt but still had good colour in my foot, it was swollen but not much real pain, could easily move my toes etc… In fact everyone thought it was a bad sprain until they did xrays Not bad the emergency doctor described it as a stable fracture. A crack in the “plate”(?) that makes up part of the ankle. but everything in place with no other damage to anything around it elsewhere in my foot..I have been sent to a specialist whom I have not spoken to for more than 20 minutes total. 1 in person visit and 1 3 minute video visit. In that less than 20 minute total time he has mentioned “may need surgery 4 times. He gave me no information, no recommendations on exercises or anything in fact on the initial visit I felt like he couldn’t wait to get out and my questions stopped him at the door. I hoping he is just preparing for the possibility and that its so minor that he felt he didn’t need to “do” much but…
Almost right from my first visit to the hospital I was still able to move my ankle albeit with limited motion which is to be expected, over the last 2 weeks most of the swelling is gone, movement has increased and I can put my full weight on it being careful of placement. Waiting to see what the 3rd batch of xrays say. To be fair he has said that things were looking good so far but with 4 mentions of may require surgery it brings up that “fear” of is this going the route of needing it for profit. If he suggests surgery I’m going to go get a 2nd opinion for sure!
I see some glimmers of hope in the medical establishment. This young doctor is one of them. However, I do feel that the onus or at least the majority of it, is on the patient. We have the responsibility to keep ourselves healthy in most cases. Of course, if you get in a car wreck, it’s a different story. But, your lifestyle, what you eat and what you do everyday, are the main factors in keeping yourself healthy.
13.12 that is heartbreaking moment, when the Doctor is crying in front of us. Bless her good heart.
This Lady is lovely. I want to be her patient.:) All the best for all of you.:)
It is important to understand that the world is cursed by sin, and sinners fear. What most people do not understand is that fearing is sin. Jesus Christ clearly gave this command over and over and over again, yet it does not sink in.
F E A R… N O T
That is not a cliche for a wall hanging. It is an order from God. God actually COMMANDS you to fear not. To choose to live in fear is to choose sin. Repent of the sin of fear, and then, let’s work together to make something better.
Was bringt den Doktor um sein Brot?
a) die Gesundheit, b). der Tod.
Drum hält der Arzt, auf dass er lebe,
uns zwischen beiden in der Schwebe.
Eugen Roth
What deprives a doctor of his bread (livelihood)?
a) a patient‘s health, b) or when he’s dead
So that he lives, he keeps us better,
Between the first thing and the latter.
(trial of translation)
As a doctor, I find this talk a huge waste of time. People often forget doctors and their family are patients of other doctors as well. When people don’t see the whole picture, how will they be able to ask the right questions that leads of any possible solutions to the problems we are facing?
I lived and work in many countries and experienced many different medical systems. As a patient, the overrated doctor-patient relationship have never a problem for me. It is the kind of narrow minded thinking that patients and doctors who never traveled and experience different medical system and jurisdiction likes to fixate on.
In reality, the real trust a good medical system requires is the trust between patients and their government. Trust that their law makers are efficient at both spotting and solving problems in regulating medical services and pharmaceutical industries. In addition, the creation of an extra judicial independent expert body that proactively investigate incompetence and ethical malpractice with powers to sanction and revoke licence is in my mind, essential for any medical system.
It is only when you give up on the “big” societal picture, that “small” ideals like personal trust becomes more important.
Great credentials but something seems off. She finished her residency in emergency medicine at Harvard (B&W) in 2013 and has been giving these talks for 7 years. I don’t disagree with her issues but suspect she may have embellished her persecution. I have always used THE MEDICAL LETTER for drug info. I don’t see drug reps or accept their gifts. Hard to believe that Boston doctors are going after another doctor for “transparency.” Maybe there’s more to the story.
True healers on the Allopathic pathway are all dying on the inside.
Does #NaturalSelection apply to biological life alone?
Could we analyse cultures in terms of #mutations and #selectionpressure?
If so, could we find traits that promote the survival of the culture, even at the expense of other forms of life?
For example, doctor-culture: could it be involved not only in professional standard-setting, but also in classic survival mechanisms, such as exclusion of competing ideas, conspiracy, etc?
Could doctor-culture display symptoms of #cult control? Of mental illness?
And I don’t mean to point a finger at any particular doctor…. My speculation is directed at doctor-culture, considered as a “living” organism.
It would be exciting if someone within the field could speak to this. There is a #phd thesis to do on this, irrespective of my own views.
An example title would be: Doctor-Culture and the Hypocratic Oath: where rubber meets the road.
The thesis could test whether doctors truly “do no harm” when they prescribe, as treatment, a medicine that is designed only to suppress symptoms. To what extent does this implicitly discourage investigation of the root cause? And can this behavior, if it exists, be linked to the survival of doctor-culture?

If doctors cure the patient the hospital believes they lost a customer they don’t have incentive to keep people healthy.
The only reason US doesnt have a national health care safety net is, the American Medical Association. Unfortunately, Biden (or Barry before him), much less Trumpeteers, will never get in a fight with them.
This is what happens when you have Monetised health care like they do in USA would not happen in U.K. where they have NICE who set standards and nest practice is the most effective at the nest cost
transparent or not, no one can cure the disease in our minds, for we exist for a large part because of that disease.-清风三十九
Yes! Yes Yes! I am a mental health practitioner in the UK. I have come across this secrecy and consultants with God complexes who think they run the the hospital when really the nurses and others are doing the bulk of the day to day work. They think they have a right to be rude to patients. I have come across doctors with great training and others, especially psychiatrists, with inadequate training so that they don’t know how to communicate in a human, connecting way, and are hidden behind such a wall that the patients might as well be seeing a robot. This can lead to misunderstandings and huge amounts of pain for the patients and for the psychiatrists who have walked into their own fear trap. Even though they may be in principle highly ethical they are unaware of themselves and their own deficits. Excellent TED talk. Thank you.
Docteur Léana!! Tu n’as pas tout dit!! ; Parles nous des Cures de Breuss et aussi du Docteur Guerson, De la vitamine B 17, ET surtout du JEUNE Minimum 28 Jours!!! et bien d’autre encore!!!!!!!
you can have all the shit she is asking for if you are willing and stupid enough to want to pay for it.
I know my doctor. I’ve known him for years. When he retires it will be difficult.
After 3 heart attacks and 6 years of medication, than another 8 years of alternative medicine, I have a leaking Mitral valve. Have seen 5 cardiologist,
the sixth one is a Head of cardiologist with University in my country, this is the only guy I will call a cardiologist. Explains to me exactly what is my problem. What he can do and what he cannot do.
Fantastic Doctor.
The romance with business medicine usa is bringing us to a heartbreak.
It was necessary to choose an oncologist 30 years ago. I have seen him through operations, chemo and radiation. It was understood at the beginning, that we would discuss treatments together but final decisions where mine. I am responsible for my health, he as a medical professional, helps me in making informed choices. No fear!
After being rear ended at a stop light by a motorist whom was not paying attention to 3 lanes of vehicles stopped at a stop light, I commenced to call my insurance agent upon arriving at my work place. She in turn notified the opposite party’s insurance. That same day, I took the remainder of the day off to see my physician. He recommended me to have an X-ray done, then an MRI and Cat Scan which revealed ruptured/herniated discs in my lower back #’s 1 and 5 area. After repeated visits due to pain and discomfort, problems sitting, standing and walking, my PCP had the gall to say to me, and I quote: “are you faking having those symptoms”? Hello, what kind of PCP would say that to his patient? That was 20 years ago today and am now still having lower back/buttock burning, needle like sensations and numbness on both front and back of both legs down to my feet area. Sometimes I tend to lose the ability to walk due to the lower back pain. The statue of limitations has expired so I am having to live like this the rest of my life. It’s sad that a physician as such is still in practice.
I like listening to her spoke. Besides she is a very beautiful lady. She didn’t let anyone or anything stand in her way or stop her. You are a strong and educated lady. Proud of you. ❤
Such a brave woman. I’m happy i don’t live in the US though.
What a wonderful human being. It takes strength and guts to go against industry greed. We all benefit from her efforts. Let this inspire us to be more transparent and demand transparency, especially from those who literally have our lives in their hands❤
I always keep in mind that people will rationalize whatever they do. So, I try to avoid needing a doctor, and when I do need one, I’m scared sh**less.
Great presentation. 100% on target. I wish I’d had her as my doctor a while back. A sloppy, lazy doctor can cause patients serious, permanent damage to their health.
Good video, thank you, intelligent and beautifull and sweet makes a perfect girl.
Eat an oatmeal, a cup of Coffee or Green Tea and a banana with protein like Chicken…I guarantee you will have really good Mental Energy everyday for the rest of your life. Don’t forget to take Fish oil too, that’s important and other vitamins.
although you shouldnt eat that much salmon because of mercury levels, which will harm your brain.
Goed, ik ga hier even in het nederlands op reageren. Deze dame is zaait twijfel over het functioneren van onze voedsel en waren autoriteit, waarvan ze overigens zelf het voorbeeld geeft dat ze weldegelijk eisen verscherpt op basis van nieuw onderzoek. Dit doet ze zuiver en alleen om miljoenen in te zamelen voor een apparaat wat absoluut niet kan functioneren zoals zij het voorstelt.
Dat ze maar fijn haar “wonderprodukt” aan volkomen paranoide amerikanen gaat verkopen.. Oprotten trut!
This perfectly shows that TEDx and TED doesn’t provide quality talks…
cant wait to have consumers armed with spectroscopic devices
the end of food corruption is at hand, goodbye GMO
