Isabel Hoffman of TellSpec believes in our right to know what's in our food. She and her team are trying to build a hand-held scanner that might one day recognize the unique fingerprint of food and provide a list of ingredients, calories and nutrition facts. Note: This demo was given in 2014 for a pre-release product.

NOTE: Comments are disabled on this video. We made this difficult decision for the TED Archive because we believe that a well-moderated conversation allows for better commentary from more people and more viewpoints. Studies show that aggressive and hateful comments silence other commenters and drive them away; unfortunately, YouTube's comment moderation tools are simply not up to the task of allowing us to monitor comments on so many videos at once. (We'd love to see this change, YouTube.) So for now, if you'd like to comment on this talk, please use Facebook, Twitter or G+ to discuss with your networks.
