Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution
For a long time now I have followed the career of British chef and master of rustic cooking, Jamie Oliver. Recently he began a one-man mission to overhaul the way the world looks at food, one country at a time. He started in his home country of England, but now he is bringing his gargantuan efforts to the United States. His hope is if he can change the eating habits of Americans, the rest of the world will follow suit. To launch and lead this effort he has created a TV show and charity under the title Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution. Here are his own words to describe the cause:
I believe that every child in America has the right to fresh, nutritious school meals, and that every family deserves real, honest, wholesome food. Too many people are being affected by what they eat. It’s time for a national revolution. America needs to stand up for better food!
You live in an amazing country full of inspirational people and you have the power to change things. With your help, we can get better food into homes, schools and communities all over America and give your kids a better future.
Sign the petition to save America’s cooking skills and improve school food. It could be the most important thing you ever do for your family. America’s health needs you now!
So please give this a concerted look and sign the petition at the very least. If you are feeling even more moved by Jamie’s march towards our children’s health, then click here to donate what you can.
If you need any more convincing about his desire to see this through and his dedication to the cause, check out his acceptance speech at this year’s TED awards. It is really a powerful and moving piece of work.
