You Say You Want A

FOOD Revolution
By Kia Robertson

Definition of a Revolution: a sudden, complete or marked change in something or a
fundamental change in the way of thinking
about or visualizing something : a change of
paradigm.
So what does it take to create a revolution? It
takes education, tools, support, enthusiasm
and patience because creating a fundamental
change in the way we think about food isn't
something that happens overnight.
By now I'm sure you've heard of celebrity chef
and health campaigner Jamie Oliver and his
Food Revolution. If not, one of the best ways
to get to the heart of what Jamie is passionate about is to watch his TED speech. Jamie
Oliver has sparked a shift in the way we think
about feeding our children, especially the
meals they eat at school.
