  • www.ted.com Sharing powerful stories from his anti-obesity project in Huntington, W. Va., TED Prize winner Jamie Oliver makes the case for an all-out assault on our ignorance of food.
    Jamie Oliver is transforming the way we feed ourselves, and our children. Jamie Oliver has been drawn to the kitchen since he was a child working in his father's pub-restaurant. He showed not only a precocious culinary talent but also a passion for creating (and talking about) fresh, honest, delicious food. In the past decade, the shaggy-haired "Naked Chef" of late-'90s BBC2 has built a worldwide media conglomerate of TV shows, books, cookware and magazines, all based on a formula of simple, unpretentious food that invites everyone to get busy in the kitchen. And as much as his cooking is generous, so is his business model -- his Fifteen Foundation, for instance, trains young chefs from challenged backgrounds to run four of his restaurants.
    Now, Oliver is using his fame and charm to bring attention to the changes that Brits and Americans need to make in their lifestyles and diet. Campaigns such as Jamie's School Dinner, Ministry of Food and Food Revolution USA combine Olivers culinary tools, cookbooks and television, with serious activism and community organizing -- to create change on both the individual and governmental level.

    I just LOVE all the negative comments. Does it really hurt that bad to try to be healthy for a change? He's not wrong. It's sad how many people are dying just because they just couldn't try to eat healthy. The worse part? Home cooked healthy meals, vegetables, and fruit taste so much better than pizza, chips, and all those foods that have like 2,000 grams of sugar, if cooked the right way. I'd much rather eat homemade baked chicken parm or vegetable soup then McDonald's any day, but hey, that's just me.

    Jamie Oliver is a fantastic human being and it was about time, that somebody takes real action about one of the bigest problems of the society, which is unhealthy food. The ancient greek philosophers said that then the Romans said the same: which means that a healthy body can lead to a healthy mind, and a healthy mind can lead to a healthy body. Food is tha Alpha and the Omega, for a healthy society. THANK YOU Jamie Oliver, greatings from Greece.

So I started eating badly so I could stop those comments. I gain weight, felt tired all the time (sleeping more than 10 hrs. a day because I didn't have the energy for anything). I am changing that now! Living the life we were meant to live.

      Sadly, the government controls education. The food industry controls the government. When the government put out dietary goals the government said to reduce red meat. The meat industry dipped and they attacked. You won't see any specific foods that the government says to reduce. It is all about things you can't see, nutrients, vitamins, calories.

You can also GROW herbs and greens right in your own house and if you have the space raise a garden. I used to think it was because bad food was cheap....but honestly, it really isn't!

    Welp, this didn't age well. 8 years later and the problem has gotten worse. The greatest flaw in the proposed solution is thinking big companies will happily comply with the changes and work together with the gov't to fix the problem. Imagine being this naïve. The fast-food industry and big food companies are the ones that created this problem in the first place, they are not the solution. Why would they ever help fix this? Selling garbage food and getting people hooked on sugar is extremely profitable. Imagine being so naïve about your proposed solution that you forget the basic tenants of capitalism...

  • @JohnKooz

    tl;dr Jamie understand the importance of his message for the health of not just Americans, but the world, so he made its delivery exceptionally powerful and moving.
    The strong anti-obesity message of Jamie Oliver's talk was incredibly powerfully delivered. Particularly noteworthy and point-blank was that elephant-sized human casket for the obese. I fortunately, through focus and hard work don't have a weight problem, but seeing that casket and realizing that factually many many people everyday end up in something like that because of their poor and dangerous eating habits really crystallized the severity of Jamie's point. Seeing a large number in a statistics is one way to see a hard reality, seeing the ginormous coffin is part of that same reality. So impressed at powerfully Jamie delivered this absolutely crucial message.
    My 2nd favorite part of his talk was the unfortunate accounting bean-counting that leads to inexpensive and unhealthy school meals, as well as the "health food ignorance" in schools. He said it just took 2 one-hour sessions to illuminate the kids to what all the vegetables were. I thought that ignorance coupled with the efficacy of the quick solution was profound.
    Recognize angels and experts quickly. Another amazing solution.
    So many solutions! Brilliant! Man, I have seen quite a few TED Talks, and some with standing ovations, but this one, specifically, felt like the most deserved standing ovation. Such a superb speech!

    Plain Milk does contain lactose and even if it isn't nearly as sweet as fructose it does promote insulin release. Milk has the particularity of having a low glycemic index while having a high insulinemic index. You don't need milk when you get older, it's better to drink water.

  • @kslice66
    @kslice66 8 лет назад +78

    Obesity and poverty are two sides of the same coin here in North America. You look for cheapest calories possible to get by. You are malnourished but obese. And it's not that ppl don't know better. It's that they don't have means to get proper food.

    • @jaylynn444
      @jaylynn444 8 лет назад +7

      +kslice Very true in some respects. After I finished school (I'm a Holistic Nutritionist) I realized just how little people know about what is truly healthy. MOST people THINK that they eat "pretty healthy" - but they don't. Because of the lies fed to us by the food industry (especially the Dairy & the Meat industry), people really do believe that milk & meat are good for us ( I did years ago!) THEY ARE NOT. Milk is the #1 trigger for allergies, it has FOUR tablespoons of added sugar (sugar turns into fat immediately in the body - unless you exercise right away, then you can use it as energy). Meat eaters have a 40% increased risk of heart disease & over a 40% increased risk of cancer (which is why 1 out of 2 men & 1 out of 3 woman now will get cancer in their lifetime). When they tout "eat meat for protein", what they should be saying is "eat the fat in meat for protein" because that's where the protein is coming from. And the nutritional info they tout is BEFORE it's cooked - you lose most of the nutrients after cooking. So, like you said, people are malnourished but obese because they go to cheap fast food places (or, should I say "fake food" places) to get cheap calories. The thing is, I can get a weeks worth of food eating organic raw food for $50! People who buy milk, cheese, & meat spend way more. But people really just don't know what to make, because they don't know what's healthy anymore. I'm offering my raw food classes on a donation basis, so I can help - not just the people who can afford cooking classes, but people who want to learn how to make healthy, quick, EZ & delicious meals at a price they feel comfortable with. We are all in this together & should help when we can :) Thanks for your post, bringing awareness to this issue :)

I have so much love in my life, and am surrounded by positive people. You obviously do not. I guess that's WHY you're feeling insecure & threatened, and feel the need to lash out. I don't feel that need. I will block you because I don't allow negativity in my life, which is WHY I'm such a happy person. Maybe consider counseling. Spewing hate & negativity will make for a sad existence.

      +jaylynn444 Why I find your comment annoying ...1. It has nothing to do with what I said. So what it tells me is that you were more interested in hearing your own voice than listening the point raised. 2nd. I find your nutritional preachiness to be misguided and the product of ill informed nutritional advice you likely paid for that is the product of mainstream dieting trends and not factual or reputable science. 3rdly, to claim at the end that you are a nutritionist... Both you and I know that nutritionist is a label that can be used by anyone. Regardless of educational background. And in no way makes you an authority on the subject.

    Lynley, I totally agree that factory farming is a damaging indictment of greedy protein consumption. That said, marginal agricultural land used for livestock production supports huge numbers of communities around the world. It makes up almost a third of productive land in the United Kingdom. Profitable class 1 land to grow vegetables in crop rotation accounts for only 10% of the UK farmland. "Less, if you must, and only if it lived happily" should be the mantra for any meat or fish consumption

    Salt is only needed in small doses. Have to much; it will destroy you from the inside out. Jamie working with that German anatomist (forgotten his name) and showed a guy who basically ate himself to death. He had so much salt in his diet that it was shocking. Moderation and sensible eating is what is needed with salt. I don't really use it much, nor sugar, and try to avoid bad fats as much as possible. Jamie is a legend, education is the way forward.

    And you are correct the quality of food is the biggest problem as Jamie mentions as well. Sugar is a massive problem alongside the CFS. The earth we grow from is not as good as it once was due to the quality of fertilizer and growing pressure, spray and harvesting methods etc. You literally are what you eat. If folks dont know the difference your right we cant blame them only empower them with knowledge- insert 'teach a man to fish analogy feed him for life'

    I think the most important message is when Jamie speaks about the last 3 generations not passing down a healthy relationship with food. In the west, industrialization created wealth and power beyond our imaginations, but in the process, it also created monolithic companies that offered a faster way to eat while profiting from the sugar addictions they create. It is a sort of deceptive abuse like cigarettes are often considered. We need to make change.

    I watched this for a school debate on whether the school milk chocolate was better for you than the white milk (which was unorganic and it tasted like cardboard but that's irrelevant). About half the class chose chocolate milk, and the other half chose white milk. Even though this is only a small number of children, I was horrified by the number of people who had chosen chocolate milk.
    In their defense, they said that chocolate milk had sugar and it, and sugar energized your body. However, I have a theory that they chose it more for the taste and not for the health benefits/consequences.
    It's shocking to see the number of children who don't understand the health consequences of most of the food they eat. More importantly, some don't even recognize the food they're eating! I remember babysitting a small child and asking him to eat his spinach, and I remember him throwing it on the ground screaming, "It's broccoli! And I don't wanna eat it!"
    Good times. . .
