It's A Food Revolution

This post is not necessarily a discovery, but a rally call for a good cause. Last week was the inaugural episode of Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution; his campaign to change the way America’s school children eat. For those uninitiated, Oliver is a quirky British chef, cookbook author, and former Food Network star. Recently he was awarded a TED Prize, which gives him $100,000 and “one wish to change the world.” His wish? Educating children, parents, administrators, teachers and lunch ladies alike about the evils of overly processed foods and the direct link to obesity, diabetes and heart disease. His message is that the goodness and simplicity of healthy fare is essential to the future well being of our country. To hear his plea directly from the source, view his TED presentation below, and his petition here.
