Food shapes not only how long we live but how good we feel. So what’s the scoop on food and happiness? There's no doubt that ice cream, cookies, and chips have brought a lot of smiles to a lot of faces. But we also know that there’s more happiness in health than in sickness. Food Revolution Network founder Ocean Robbins shares his remarkable family story, and how food can contribute to a thriving life. #tedx #healthyfood #foodandhappiness Ocean Robbins is co-founder & CEO of the 700,000 member Food Revolution Network. He is author of the bestseller, 31-Day Food Revolution: Heal Your Body, Feel Great, and Transform Your World. Ocean founded Youth for Environmental Sanity (YES!) at age 16, and directed it for the next 20 years. He has spoken in person to more than 200,000 people, organized online seminars and events reaching more than a million, and facilitated leadership development events for leaders from 65 nations. He has served as adjunct professor for Chapman University, and is a recipient of the national Jefferson Award for Outstanding Public Service, the Freedom’s Flame Award, the Harmon Wilkinson Award, and many other honors. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Ocean was my absolute favorite speaker on the Holistic Holiday at Sea Cruise last month. He moved me to tears with his story (esp when his grandpa was dying). He is the most dynamic speaker whose delivery of his heartfelt passion to help others is incredible. I'm looking forward to sharing this TedTalk with loved ones and also enjoying the FRN summit.

Whole plant foods make me happy! :-) I went plant-based in 2018 starting with giving up meat, and kept going from there. I lost weight, eliminated panic attacks, and prevented myself from developing type 2 diabetes like my grandma and mom. I’m grateful every day for God leading me to the plant-based life because it has literally saved my life. We now have a 2-year-old son who has been plant-based from birth! Thank you, Ocean, for this inspiring message, and for always standing strong for health. Your work matters! I’ll be sharing this video with my audience later today. :-)

Amazing story! I'm glad I started relatively young, when I was 18 but it inspired me to go into health coaching and then to becoming a physician- and doing it the right way with all the amazing plant based docs as role models like Dr. Joel Fuhrman, Dr. Michael Greger, Dr. Neal Barnard, Dr. Brooke Goldner, Dr. Saray Stancic, and more! I found Ocean and John Robbins and their amazing work with FRN along the way!

I love that today, 30 years later, you work with your father to provide the public with yearly Food Revolution Summits to educate large numbers of people on health-related topics. You have also played a part in initiating a change in M.D. licensing exam requirements, so that Nutrition will be introduced into Medical School curriculums. It is a inspiring to hear you speak; with the insight of a trauma-informed healer you know that while food choices and their results seem obvious, behaviors are difficult to change until false and limiting beliefs are undone, and we have forgiven ourselves for entertaining the mad idea of separation. My heart is filled with gratitude for you, Ocean !

I agree, food shapes our lives more than we acknowledge

Family dynamics can be so complicated! I think what his father did is really admirable, not just walking away from the money but being such an advocate for healthy eating.

Definitely. I think knowing that something your family has profited from isn't serving the best interests of society and then advocating for a solution to it is pretty incredible.

This is so important and your family's story is human and touching. I already love and appreciate The Food Revolution Network, and thanks for sharing your family's story.

Naww when he talks about his Grandpa Irv getting better and how his favorite part was him living another 19 healthy years... brought such a smile to my face. You can see the genuine love he has and it's beautiful.

Damn I should have known Ocean and his dad were OOG (original organic). I'm honored to have met the young Ocean way back in the 90's at The Youth for Environmental Sanity. Truly inspiring that Ocean is still spreading the truth decades later!

Choosing happiness one bite at a time! Much better than the "A moment on your lips, forever on your hips". Amazing work Ocean!

I've been trying to make healthier food choices lately and this just reaffirmed my commitment to my well-being.

I've been taking baby steps into this change. Slowly replacing processed foods with whole foods. It's less overwhelming that way.

This is such a great talk for encouraging people to make the switch to plant-based and whole foods. It's not just about how you look - though losing weight is a bonus!

Love this talk - it says so much succinctly! I love your dad’s integrity also - he could not live in good conscience with profiting from a business that could be harming people. I have appreciated FRN for the past 10 years - thank you for such an important movement. I love to eat nice cream quite often ❤️

Awesome presentation, Ocean! I was excited when I saw the email that it was your first Ted Talk! I've been a big fan of the work of you and your dad, subbed to FRN a few years ago! I started eating Whole Food Plant Based, since around 18 but learning about all of it inspired me to go into health coaching and then to becoming a physician- and doing it the right way with all the amazing plant based docs as role models like Dr. Joel Fuhrman, Dr. Michael Greger, Dr. Neal Barnard, Dr. Brooke Goldner, Dr. Saray Stancic, and more! It's been quite a journey of learning and helping others as a health coach, and have been doing my best to get fellow pre meds on board as well! Thank you for all that you, and btw the summit is amazing! I shared it far and wide! God bless you and your family :)

I wholeheartedly applaud Ocean Robbins and his Food Revolution Network for wanting to share this path towards better health and happiness for humans and the planet. But until the barriers to change and to sustaining changed behaviours are overcome, I'm sadly a little skeptical about how much can be achieved (even as a long-time vegetarian who finds it VERY hard to resist cheese, ice cream and gooey caramel sayce from time to time). But do keep it going and encouraging us all. Thank you!
