Jamie Oliver's talk at TED

Nutrition as medicine is a concept I believe very strongly in. I am convinced that the best medicine is a combination of diet and movement (to paraphrase Thomas Edison). Alas, it seems we are losing the battle on the diet front.

The need to reform our eating habits is a topic discussed by many people from the scientific community or journalists. This is the first time I hear it coming from a "food" personality.

Jamie Oliver is a British chef better known for his books and TV shows. During his talk at T.E.D. he introduced himself as someone who is trying to save lives. With his typical fast pace and emotional delivery, he is really talking plainly about the need for food education for our kids.

Absolutely a must... Go watch it (it is only 19 minutes)...
