Write
At the end of his TED talk Jamie Oliver made a wish: “ My wish is for you to
help a strong sustainable movement to educate every child about food, to inspire
families to cook again and to empower people everywhere to fight obesity”.
Write an essay expressing your opinion on whether you believe that Mr Oliver’s
suggestions can be effective so as to fight obesity. Do you have any other
suggestions?
Quotes
“If the kids don’t know what stuff (food) is, then they will never eat it.”
“Your child will live a life ten years younger than you because of the landscape of
food that we’ve built around them.”
