TED Prize 2010: Jamie Oliver: Teach every child about food


TED Prize 2010
Jamie Oliver: Teach every child about food (script)
Summary
I was very surprised and I didn't believe that kids nowadays didn't know about vegetables. In this talk, the speaker asked the kids what this vegetable is many times. Those were even tomatoes, kids answered that they didn't know. Of course they didn't know the potatoes with the brown skin. They surely eat potato fries. at fast food shops.  First of all, when many vegetables appeared in front of kids, their reaction was no. Oh my God! People don't know what stuff is that they'll never eat it.
The presenter wants you to teach every child about food, because now,  in America, obesity is a big problem. If you aren't fat, you have highly possibility it in near future. This time, an English person told this story in front of American audience strongly. Unless we have to know our ignorance of food, what we do for kids about food and we change our own diet way, obesity includes more and more. Then people who, especially kids, will be dead through the food that they eat. At home, kids will eat pizza for breakfast. Is it healthy for them? At school, they'll be having milk. However, milk is added with some flavoring, coloring and sugar correctly, because more kids will drink it. If they go out, there are many fast food shops there. Is it better for them to continue those for many years? It'll be easy enough to change it right now.
Our home, school and shop have to cooperate to solve this problem. Just working one source is no meaning. All we have to change our life styles. At home, kids have to try eating. You should cook for them and teach them worth to cook. At school,  everyday school lunch should be changed. A person who has the skill about food should do it and it needs budgets enough. Shops mean food companies have to stop using many sugar and showing  incredible labels. They need to think about health more than benefits.
This is the problem that can be prevented. Now you know that teach every child about food is the most important our life.
