This is an excellent inspirational talk by Jamie Oliver at TED Talks about the current climate of our food culture. This video was recorded in 2010, and over the last few years I have seen a small change for the better, however we have a LONG way to go.
Children are very vulnerable to what is around them, and it all starts at the home, then at school. If we don't know about proper nutrition then how can we teach our kids. Schools teach nothing about nutrition, and the food that is offered to our kids at school is astounding! Sugared milk, pop, chocolate, chips. No healthy options.
Take a look at your workplace. We have six vending machines at my work, and not one row has a healthy option. They are stocked with chips, chocolate, pop, sugary "juices" etc.
We need to change, and it is not acceptable that this generation of children will live shorter lives than us.
Take an 18 minute break and watch this video. What you will learn will benefit not just yourself but everyone that you can help with this new knowledge. Pass it on for change!
