This video has been making the rounds all over Facebook and social media this morning, so I thought I’d post it here on the blog because this 11 year old kid has a very important message to deliver. Even though this kid is only 11 years old, he’s smarter than 99% of adults when it comes to the food we stick in our mouths. Plus, he’s amazing from the stage.
Folks, I introduce you to Birke Baehr and his talk – “What’s Wrong With Our Food System”
This kid is great. Thanks for sharing this Jason.
Awesome video! That boy killed that speech. I do like that most the fruit and veggies here are all locally grown and shipped straight to the stores. The eggs aren’t even refrigerated because they are so fresh. Glad this little dude is getting the word out.
Go Birke,
J-mo this is a brill video.
Crazy how much the food is messed up, thankfully we, in the UK, can go to the farms and get them, and I live about 30 minutes away from a farm…
Just as a side note – best way to get little kids to eat vegetables if they don’t want to… “Here comes the chu chu train”.
Works every time on my niece.

Good video… The first book / documentary that unplugged me from the shenanigans of the food industry was “Diet for a New America” by John Robbins. I read it in 2000 while in chiro school and was blown away.
Locally grown and produced food is much better and actually nourishes your body, as opposed to 95% of the garbage in traditional supermarkets.
Awesome Jason. This kid might be young but he is right on. There are major problems with our food system. I love that he says he wants to be an organic farmer!!
Phenomenal message and unbelievable confidence in such a young man. The world needs more and more young people with the smarts to think and the cajones to act.
Thanks for posting this J,

Says it all really!
Nice stuff Jason!
Now that’s great stuff to share.
Thanks
