Who is Jamie Oliver and why should you care?
Chef, writer, blogger, speaker, activist, and TV’s ‘Naked Chef’…these are just a handful of the things Jamie has done over the years, but it’s his passion for changing the way we eat that has captivated us here at EcoFare.
Jamie Oliver has tackled childhood obesity head on. As a small ‘mom and pop’ shop, Linda and I need someone with his verve to lift us up and encourage us to continue our own quest to educate our youth about gardening and where whole, real food comes from. His passion is contagious. If you weren’t a believer in an inevitable food revolution, he will make you see the light.
Last week Jamie won the prestigious TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) conference award of $100,000 for his campaign to fight childhood obesity. So, sit back, take 20 min to watch his TED acceptance speech and then decide how YOU want to make a change -- and start by heading over to Jamie’s website to sign his Food Revolution Petition.

Thanks for posting the video. I’d read that Jamie had won the TED award last week, but I had not seen this yet. He gives a funny, insightful and very moving speech that every American should watch. Kudos to you both for continuing your quest to educate families on home gardening and healthy eating.
