Today over @ the blog Presentation Zen, there was a link to Jamie Oliver, whose antics I have followed for some time.  To say Jamie Oliver, chef and slight comedian- is active is a gross understatement, but that’s a whole other post.

Jamie is on a new campaign….fighting obesity-something near and dear to my own heart-as I have relatives who are obese.

I bring this subject up for 2 reasons:

• First, it’s SO extremely important…as is the whole food system in America. And as Jamie expresses, education is key!
  
• Secondly, Jamie uses some visual thinking strategies [and techniques] in his TED Video Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution. Watch for his chart and wheelbarrow demonstration……you won’t be able to get these facts out of your brain.
• Third, for the love of your children, nieces, nephews, neighbors, your own future, click yourself over to Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution and sign the petition. If for no one else, sign the petition so those poor West Virginia children, in Jamie’s video, may one day be educated enough to be able to identify simple, basic vegetables.

The wish

“I wish for your help to create a strong, sustainable movement to educate every child about food, inspire families to cook again and empower people everywhere to fight obesity.” — Jamie Oliver
