Just a few days ago, on February, 10, 2010, Jamie Oliver, also known as the Naked Chef, gave an outstanding presentation to TED: Ideas Worth Spreading, announcing his prize wish: "Educate every child about food". 

THE WISH

"I wish for your help to sustain a strong, sustainable movement to educate every child about food, inspire families to cook again, and empower people everywhere to fight obesity."

It is 20 minutes of accurate eye-opening statistics and mouth-dropping facts shared with passion and gusto.  Make sure that you see it all, especially the sugar cubes and wheel-barrow illustration... it is, sadly, very true and accurate.

Do take the time to not only read about his prize wish but also to investigate how you can make a difference and help support this much-needed movement towards healthier lives for our children!
