Shout out to Jamie Oliver, recent honoree at the 2010 TED Awards. During Oliver’s speech, he expressed great concern over what we put in our mouths — declaring sugar, fat and non-foods the devil. He’s advocating “food ambassadors” at supermarkets; calling for schools to establish fresh food standards and teaching “10 Key Meals” that they can live on. We’re all for it – obesity seems to have taken over in the U.S. and that certainly works against us on so many levels — quality of life, longevity, personal well-being, health care…You can show your support by signing his Food Revolution petition @ jamieoliver.com
Here’s hoping more chefs start “educating” about nutrition rather than just cashing in on fame. You can check out the debut of Jamie’s Food Revolution tomorrow (Friday) night at 7p (ET) on ABC.

My hat goes off to Jamie Oliver! I watched his first show and loved it. These things I have been telling everyone for years. I am so happy that he has taken this on. And I pray that it does catch on with all of our schools here in the US. Awesome job Jamie!!
I really appreciate Jamie’s effort. People (especially young people) are nowadays very influenced by all sorts celebrities and faces from TV. If something like that can help fight with obesity I say big YES.
