It all started when her child developed a food allergy \\u2014 and she started to realize that the rise of food allergies was directly tied to the rise of GMOs.

\\xa0Author of \\u201cThe Unhealthy Truth,\\u201d O\\u2019Brien has helped lead an awakening about the American food industry and the prevalence of GMOs.
