    An invaluable insight into the world of allergies

    As a parent of a child with anaphylaxis this documentary is gold.

    Many specialists shut down as soon as you mention the possibility of a link to how our food is produced.

    An important voice that I am grateful has been amplified with support of medical professionals.

    Thanks for all involved in creating this.

    A must-see...

    Wow. Talk about fascinating. So many mind-blowing facts in this doc about the food industry... GMOs... reasons for the rise of food allergies and sensitivities (and a great clarification about the difference, bringing to light the true long term dangers of disregarding either). This film is a must-watch for anyone who already knowingly suffers from food allergies and/or sensitivities, and anyone who is unclear about their health issues. So many enlightening facts from qualified scientific sources-- to help us make better personal choices when buying food, as well as a crusade for pushing the federal food agencies (which are supposed to protect our health) to make changes to their GMO labeling and pesticide allowances. I had no idea that most companies are required to label GMOs for other countries, but not the US. Simply because lobbyists claim it's too expensive, and yet they do it for other countries who require it to protect their citizens... what??? This film will get you fired up, but also educates you on how to make healthier choices today.

    • Trivia
      Tamar Kummel has a long list of food sensitivities herself and is one of the people featured outside in the film.
    • Quotes

      Stephen Wangen: The number of people that have a food allergy or food intolerance is probably staggering. We don't really have statistics on this, but in my estimation it's probably half the population.
