Have Child Food Allergy Sufferers Found Their Erin Brockovich?
I've now read Kim Severson's piece on child food allergy conspiracy theorist Robyn O'Brien twice, and I'm still not sure if O'Brien is a righteous crusader or a nutty zealot.
Here's the essence of the story:
[O'Brien's] theory—that the food supply is being manipulated with additives, genetic modification, hormones, and herbicides, causing increases in allergies, autism, and other disorders in children—is not supported by leading researchers or the largest allergy advocacy groups.
On such an emotionally freighted issue it's hard to figure out who's right and who's wrong.
