Last night a British restauranteur named Jamie Oliver gave a speech at the TED conference in Long Beach, Ca. If you haven’t heard of TED it is basically a conference held each year that brings world leaders together. Whether it be philanthropy, business, technology, science, design or entertainment all of the biggest names in each industry show up. Each year the people at TED give 3 people $100,000 and 18 minutes of stage time to present their idea for a big wish that they have. Jamie Oliver happened to be one of those three people last night. His speech was amazing.

Over the last 7 years, Jamie has been pushing for what he is calling a “Food Revolution” basically working to raise awareness for how fat we are becoming. He has done some tremendous work in Britain and has made a large impact in raising food awareness. Now he has made his way to America, where we have major problems and has a TV show on ABC which will air in March. His plan is to go to “The Unhealthiest Place In America” Huntington, West Virginia and change the way they eat, especially in schools. I am really excited for this show to come on because i think it will wake a lot of people up.

I urge everyone to go onto Jamie’s website and sign the food petition and pass a link on asking your friends to do the same. This issue is something that I care deeply about and hope that Jamie can help open peoples eyes. We have to start getting our health back in order or we will be in major trouble.
