#73 – Birth of “Moms Across America” ** May 27, 2015
Guest // Zen Honeycutt ** Host // Toni Bark, MD

USA mapParents marching in solidarity — across the United States — for food integrity. Hundreds of activist leaders organizing hundreds of community events in two short years.

This is what happened after one mom started feeding her three boys organic food to avoid GMOs and pesticides and watched their allergy and autism symptoms abate. She realized that thousands of parents are making the same discovery.

    • Has the food issue “tipped”?
    • Who’s behind this movement and how did it start? (Hint: watch this TED Talk)
    • How does something so personal become a national movement?
    • What are the lessons for other health freedom activists looking to catalyze a national movement?
    • What’s next in food-related activism and what can we do to get involved?
