Jamie Oliver: Teach every child about food

Teach every child about food

Sharing powerful stories from his anti-obesity project in Huntington, West Virginia -- and a shocking image of the sugar we eat -- TED Prize winner Jamie Oliver makes the case for an all-out assault on our ignorance of food.

Diet-related disease is now the leading cause of death in the United States, claiming more lives than homicide or accidents. In just 18 minutes, four Americans will die because of what they eat. Children face a future with shorter lifespans than their parents due to processed foods, poor education, and lost cooking skills. Reclaiming food knowledge at home, school, and beyond can prevent unnecessary suffering and save countless lives.
