Jamie Oliver: Teach every child about food TED Talk
“Your child will live a life ten years younger than you because of the landscape of food that we’ve built around them.”
~ Jamie Oliver
Why you should listen to him:
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
Oliver’s culinary tools, cookbooks and television, with serious activism
and community organizing -- to create change on both the individual and
governmental level. Join Jamie's Food Revolution: Sign the petition >> Read more about Jamie Oliver on the TED Blog » Email to a friend »
