We should all be more mindfully active in paying closer attention to what we eat… and to how we eat. We need to better educate our children about their food, their eating habits, as well as their relationship to what they eat.
There is no better time than the present. About 1/3 of all Americans are obese. A new study released by researchers at Duke University, RTI International (research group), and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention predict that percentage will climb to 42% by 2030.
Communities around the world can get together to discuss their own roles in this special movement on May 19, a day dedicated to the “food revolution.” English Celebrity Chef Jamie Oliver announced “Food Revolution Day” via YouTube, as part of his larger campaign to inspire people, especially children, to educate themselves about what goes into their food and where it comes from. Oliver encourages “schools, businesses, chefs, restaurants and food lovers” to get involved…
Bringing food education into schools and empowering people with the skills to cook healthy meals at home rank high on Oliver’s list of long-term goals for the campaign. Funds raised from community events hosted that day will go toward the Jamie Oliver Foundation’s food education projects in the U.S., U.K., and Australia. One of these projects involves giving out Food Education Boxes, stocked with a piece of fruit, recipes, and fun facts that aim to get school children thinking about eating fruits and vegetables.communities around the world can get together to discuss their own roles in the movement on May 19, a day dedicated to the “food revolution.”
Get involved by making whatever contribution you can make to this movement. Large results start with small steps & purposeful intention…
