Food Revolution: Teach Every Child About Food, Part 1

So I saw this TedTalk video a couple of months ago, but I never got around to posting and commenting on it. So I figured I'd just post it anyway, in case anyone was interested. The video was remarkable, and it left me thinking about how proper nutrition or the lack of affects children for the rest of their adult life; especially with the rise in childhood obesity, which leads to a whole array of diseases such as the rise in Type II diabetes among children.

Maybe sometime last week, I saw that Jamie Oliver actually has a show coming out about the nutrition problem around the US, it's called "Food Revolution". It instantly reminded me of this video, and I guess I wasn't the only impressed by his ideas and what not. What sparked me to think of this, was a phone call from my sister asking me how was my school lunch in high school. She was appalled by the lunch that was being served.

Oh also there is a petition that you can sign on Jamie's website. Watch the video hopefully you are inspired by something and realize that it does matter, especially for the longevity of our nation.


Until Next Time...
