Sharing powerful stories from his anti-obesity project in Huntington, W. Va., TED Prize winner Jamie Oliver makes the case for an all-out assault on our ignorance of food.
Jamie Oliver is transforming the way we feed ourselves, and our children. Jamie Oliver has been drawn to the kitchen since he was a child working in his father’s pub-restaurant. He showed not only a precocious culinary talent but also a passion for creating (and talking about) fresh, honest, delicious food. In the past decade, the shaggy-haired “Naked Chef” of late-’90s BBC2 has built a worldwide media conglomerate of TV shows, books, cookware and magazines, all based on a formula of simple, unpretentious food that invites everyone to get busy in the kitchen. And as much as his cooking is generous, so is his business model — his Fifteen Foundation, for instance, trains young chefs from challenged backgrounds to run four of his restaurants.
Now, Oliver is using his fame and charm to bring attention to the changes that Brits and Americans need to make in their lifestyles and diet. Campaigns such as Jamie’s School Dinner, Ministry of Food and Food Revolution USA combine Olivers culinary tools, cookbooks and television, with serious activism and community organizing — to create change on both the individual and governmental level.

A quick tip: make granola bars people! They're super easy to make, fucking healthy and you can store them for like a month! It's like protein bar. Except way more healthier.
"They don't even get crockery. Knives and forks? No, they're too dangerous." Laughed too hard at this. Knives and forks, no. But Fire arms are legal. hahaha. 'murica!
PLEASE help a Grade 9 student with their Science Fair project by completing the brief nutrition survey linked below. It will be much appreciated. Many thanks
[edit: I support the overall message, though, and I also really respect the enthusiasm and effort of Mr. Oliver.] "Your child will live a life, 10 years younger than you" @ 1:44 And another one does not comprehend what statistics can and cannot tell you about something. Also the number of 10 years to me seems a bit forged to me.
The issue is: If we take an active approach to weight loss, people get offended, because calling a spade a spade is insulting. If we don't do anything, well…look at the video.
puro español 🙁
8 years later…….now also there is no bit of change….?
Then you wonder: Where the f*ck is Gordon Ramsay!

"They don't even get crockery. Knives and forks? No, they're too dangerous."

How are there 1000 dislikes? What is so bad about this?

More people need to see this. People need to wake up and stop eating crap.
Unfortunately Americans have the same view with guns as well as fast food, keep both!

One thing though, obesity is only 1 symptom of bad eating habits. You can be slim and have a lot of health problems related to diet.
