Jo Robinson – author of recent bestseller Eating on the Wild Side

Jo Robinson is a bestselling, investigative journalist who has spent the
past 20 years scouring scientific articles for insights on how to restore
vital nutrients to the American diet. Looking beyond the nutrient loss that
has taken place over the past 75 years, she traces the beginning of our
unhealthy diet to the very first gardens created 12,000 years ago. In 2015, Jo is spearheading the creation of a “Garden of Well-Being” for seniors at the Vashon Community Care Center in Vashon, Washington. The
garden will feature specific varieties of fruits and vegetables that have
been proven to address health problems common to older people, such as
diabetes, dementia, fatigue, cancer, chronic inflammation, hypertension,
and cardiovascular disease. It will be the first garden of its kind in the
United States.
