In the Netherlands a lot of supermarkets have monthly magazines that people can get for free. In those magazines are lots of cheap, easy and healthy food made with products from the season. It has weekly plans, stuff for kids and a lot more. It is great. They should do something like this in all supermarkets
+volkoren98 Yeah, we have that in Australia too. The Woolies and Coles supermarket chains have a monthly magazine featuring cost effective recipes and feature articles about seasonal fruits and vegetables. I always grab a copy when I spot them. It about advertising their produce and products, but its also a great source of food information and 'how to' info. As Jamie says, you can be commercial as well as educational. And in fact, Jamie is the official representative for Woolworths supermarkets and his recipes and endorsements appear in the publication.
I've always admired Jamie Oliver for bringing the school dinners debate to the front and being so candid about it. I grew up in the 1970s with quality school meals that in retrospect, I took for granted. How lucky I really was. Keep at it, Jamie! You are a huge inspiration.
Mr Jaimie even though I'm not a guy that has the knowledge u got in cooking and even though I don't even know you in personal, I have to say I respect you for this speech. I myself about 13 months ago used to weigh 137kgs. It was not all bad processed food but there used to be alot of that. As of today I weigh 90kgs and I feel great
What a fantastic speech and great message. He talks with such passion, you can't help but want to listen to him. He's done so much for so many people, he's amaxing.
What Jamie is doing is great. Chefs are hugely underrated profession in my opinion. They know a lot, and they make people truly ENJOY healthy nutritious food.
I've listened to this speech so many times. He can teach people so well, nobody cares about all the big words and chef language, he talks about it so simply with such belief and passion!! Proper hero!! x
Wow...! This guy is brilliant. He's a great speaker, full of charisma, and he has the passion to achieve what he truly desires. I admire him. I'm from South Korea, and obesity isn't considered a really big problem there. But here I realize today, after watching this video, people die out of obesity. Now I wish many people to fight it and overcome the world-wide problem. Bless you!
Jamie Oliver is making changes in the food industry, educating people and making them aware of what they are putting into their bodies. We need to take control of what we feed our families, there is an obesity epidemic that can be changed by the choices we make. Learn and educate your children and family to make nutritious and healthy food choices everyday.
YAY JAMIE! Thank you for your food revolution. Thank you for showing my children what goes into chicken nuggets. My kids won't eat their school lunches. I bake bread every week and we don't eat high fructose corn syrup. We don't bring home soda and chips (mostly) and you are in part to thank. Between you and the movie Food Inc. we are changing our lives. We started a garden several years ago and my family grows our food. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! Keep it up! Noreen
As a chef you have much greater power to heal people and save lives than any doctor. It is my passion as well to make people realize this. Keep fighting the good fight.
I think we should appreciate the fact that there is somebody like him out there fighting for this issue to a passionate extent as he is. Not a lot like him out there is there
I love the way you presented this to the audience and to the public. I have to share something with you as well. They considered my daughter in the lower measure of their percentile measurements at her grade school physical. The doctor actually looked at her and told her, "Go ahead and tell your mommy to get you some McDonalds Milkshakes." That statement infuriated me! I work daily at teaching my children health and nutrition and this physician said this. My daughter's response? "My mom doesn't let me have McDonalds." Years later, this same daughter goes out with her Middle School friends. The parents take the group to McDonalds. The parents of the girl are surprised that my daughter would rather not eat than to eat the food like products served at McDonalds. She ate when she got home, a healthy meal. The other child's parents told me what happened. My daughter's reward, other than a healthy meal, I bought her an outfit to wear. :) We need to care about each other and about the children. Our own and the friends of our own. Thank you Jamie. Thank you. facebook.com/jenniwhipple
Never realy understood how serious jamies is about this, not just serious but so passionate. Damnman you can speak and affect people, keep up the good work!
Jamie Oliver. You are an inspiration. Parental and school based education is lacking to a ridiculous degree in this modern era, and companies with shitty principles are taking the place as a provider without a conscience.
I'm English and have been exposed to a lot of Jamie Oliver - and have always liked him. I became a TED enthusiast in 2008 when they 1st started putting the talks online, mainly through a technological fascination with a guy called Ray Kurzweil. When I knew that TED was honouring Jamie Oliver - I was fascinated to see how the US would react and have been delighted to re-introduce my fellow cynical UK friends to what is actually real. He represents the BEST in the English character. Amazing.
Jamie I hope too see this.!! I am 19 years old, studying cook and I'm your fan, since childhood. to admire and support on that one.! You inspire each new cook.! continued what you do, we were with you m8.!!!! :) good luck.!!!
Jamie Oliver is a true legend of this world, what a great guy. Helping all these people must be so challenging and rewarding for him and his family. His food revoulution is massively inspiring to me. Hats off to you kind sir, someone give that man a cigar shaped carrot : D
Great speech, Jamie!!! America, my country, really needs to wake up about this. Whether you're for or against health care reform in any capacity, it HAS to start with how we eat. Let's not keep dealing with the symptoms. Let's take on the source of the problem! That alone would fix a huge part of the health care issue, I truly believe.
Such a passionate guy. And really it's so sad to notice that it takes way way way more than the hard reality of a TedX speech to move things and especially change habits!
i was assigned to watch this for a class and seeing how it was 20 minutes made me "ugh" but throughout the video I was truly inspired, incredibly attentive, and just "wow"ed by your presentation. i can't wait to help you at the farms.
Its funny how the kids couldn't recognize and label vegetables correctly, because here in India, we learn a new language by learning the names of vegetables. Well, not just vegetables. Flowers, colors, fruits.... something that kids can recognize and associate with. We were taught four languages in school, all the same way.
I'm sad to say I'm the first generation in my family to have neglected learning to cook at home. I wouldn't say it's impossible for me but the habit's just not there. Worrying to think that if I don't want or am unable to keep spending money left and right for restos and healthy takeouts the decline towards daily McDonald's meals will start. TY for your activism Jamie! Inspiring.
Jamie, here in Japan there is a business model that might really help this situation, at least at the home level. I think you are the person to bring this idea to the English speaking countries. For only a slight markup, people can have dinner ingredients pre-measured for the dinner's recipe and delivered to the home every night fresh. The meals can be ordered by number of servings needed. They come with recipe books and all. The model is made more profitable by offering limited choices. Each customer can only choose one of several weekly menus. Each menu has the entire week planned out for you. This probably makes preparing the ingredients easier as they are just measuring out loads of the same portions for the same recipes on any given night. The company only offers 7 things on this particular day so they only need seven lines to produce. They then offer a wide variety to make sure everyone gets a balanced diet by varying the items offered from day to day. Also, by planning out a week at a time it prevents poor choosing habits on the consumers end. The customers can't choose to use the system in an unhealthy way by only choosing their favorite menu items even though those items don't add up to a healthy overall diet. The economy here is not so different, so similar prices should be possible. The result is about 4$ per serving. This is clearly affordable by most obese as they are typically purchasing fast food at far higher per serving prices. In addition, the servings are rather generous, my family orders just two servings and it feeds me, my wife and our daughters that are 6 and 2. 4$ per serving is your standard quality food. If a customer wants steaks and finer cuts of fish on the menu, they can choose to pay slightly more. It doesn't include certain core foods that are easier to buy in bulk such as rice. I think this would take your great idea of 30 minute meals and makes them far more doable for some of the more busy parents. In addition, by providing some of the prep work for them, this model would allow you a few more options to add to your list of quick meals. Instead of books, you could pair the delivered ingredients with TH-cam video instructions to save a little by not having to distribute all that paper. I love your show. If this idea sounds at all like something you would like to get going in the U.S. Just email me and I can tell you as much as I know about it. I am just a customer, but perhaps the idea is enough for someone in your position to run with.
I was in New York only for a week. In the heart of it. And there I saw only 4 or 5 shops, that sold not only canned beans for food. Yes, there were few sliced apples, but no salad, no full-grain bread, no raw meat. And that was what I craved when returning to Europe. It's strange when what we are eating as normal food counts as healthy food in other countries.
Not that the UK is much better than the U.S. in general, but I grew up in a rural area of Wales and moved to York and got completely used to excellent farmers' markets, bakeries and home-grown herbs etc., then moved to Australia. Though you can actually get really good fruit here, there's not much meat worth buying except for beef and fish, and good breads and cheeses simply do not exist. Other than plastic-bag bread, you only have a choice of white fluff (the kind that curls up around the butter knife) or sourdough. I even asked a baker if he had anything other than these two kinds of bread and he looked confused and asked me "what else is there?" That's like a chef in an Italian restaurant asking what else he should be cooking other than pizza and lasagne.
thank you. It made me sad to see the children who didn't recognize fresh vegies. And yet there are no longer cooking classes in schools either. It was one of my favorite classes growing up. Lets bring that back to our schools. Lets start teaching our youth things they really need to be successful in life. Thank you for bringing this information to the world. Namaste ~ Suz
When I moved to England and first lunch at work and I had rice with mushroom sauce or something alike. And people were asking me "You cooked that?" Cause there wasn't any label where did I bought it. "Well, yes? Of course I did." At first I didn't know what were they meaning by that. Yes, I coocked it, so I do every time. Than I understood when I saw them all ripping plastic lid of a small bowl with something in it with a colourful label. And they were asking me all sorts of questions like what I'm doing is magic or so. That's just the way I was raised. You are hungry, let me show you how to make something for yourself. I would buy something ready but just for a snack. Not as a main dish. And it's so easy.. As long as you have receip, you just follow simple steps and that's it.
I've seen some incredible talks @ Ted but this is the first standing ovation I've seen yet. Jamie, you've hit the screw right through and out the other end.
Amazing talk Jamie. It seems we have forgotten how to live with fresh food and what is happening with food being produced now, is extremely sad indeed!
I caught the Food Revolution last night, and was amazed at what school lunches are like now. They weren't the greatest when I was in school, and it's only gotten worse. Very inspirational stuff. Keep fighting the bureaucracy and let's get our kids healthy again!
i can`t believe those kids didn`t know what those vegetables were. what a very inspiring presentation, hope more people will look up with you, and learn what food is and what they can and can`t help you and your body
This video is so inspiring! Our daily lives are filled with disgusting foods. We complain about our weight, and obesity... but no one is willing to maintain a healthy life style! My generation would rather eat a bag of chips, or a greasy pizza; rather then a bowl of fresh fruits or veggies, or a home made fresh nutritional dinner! We are constantly finding ways to loose weight..... we'd rather go on a temporary diet, then have a nutritional healthy life style. I hope my generation will wake up, and realize nutrition is VERY important!! And if we don't pick up our act, our health will kill us!
#jamieoliver I've been following you since this #tedtalks As a foodie and former rerestaurateur who loves real food just as much as everyone...I appreciate your message and really want to bring it to every school in the states. How can I get involved? Any suggestions.
Maybe there has not been much progress as written in posts below however, we need to begin the change as individuals. Our self, and our children at home. The change starts there. Don't wait for governments to make these changes, you can make the change right now, this day on your own table! You can make your children's lunch and take it to school. You can put healthy food on your own table. You can make the change now. So do not pass this off as no change has been made. the change begins with us now, In our own home, our own life, our choice, our responsibility. Choose health and choose the change.
I feel so greatful for the great food that I've got through all my school years. They would never serve fast food in schools in Finland. That makes me proud of my country.
Everytime I walk into a supermarket or open my fridge, I ask myself: WWJD, not what would Jesus do, but what would Jamie do :p, WOULD JAMIE FORGET VEGETABLES, WOULD JAMIE GET THAT FROZEN PIZZA! Helps alot, it does. :3
His passion has completely won me over. I think we need more of that and less of those "too cool for school" attitudes you run into whenever you try to share this with someone and it gets shot down. Thank you Ted and thank you Jamie
09:10 "you could say the schoolfood is kinda important during the circumstances" people laugh.. What is so funney about that?.. this is death serious..
Nothing's happened because of the average Americans ignorant resistance to being told. They won't be told by anyone, even when it's so obvious they are wrong. Arrogance is leading them to early graves.
Nice to see this mission! I've been cooking all my life and will make it a personal goal to help with this mission and will be looking for ways to reach out to the public and help teach others in the community to cook.
Yes Jamie!! Food is one of the most important parts of our lives Monsanto should be burnt to the ground, Also he spoke of obesity not of people being fat and I doubt he's just doing it for the money he isn't going to.uproot his whole family to the USA to make money when he makes a he'll of alot in the uk as it is and he's changed how supermarkets work in the uk ever since working with Sainsbury and other food outlets and super markets it's pretty obvious he believes in what he's saying and he's speaking sense a he'll of alot of it too x
Love your passion Jamie. It takes this sort of passion and commitment to get things to change. Let's get behind him and help the change on our children, family and local community.
I used to teach home and family life skills in junior high. That was 30 years ago. Very few schools now have these programs. They need to be reinstated to teach young people about nutrition and food preparation.
He still supports dairy and meat industry which is the biggest when it comes to CO2 , main reason for heart-diseases... If he didn't support that industry and really cared about people's health and had 'knowledge' you wouldn't see him on TedTalks or Television...
I used to think Jamie Oliver was a typical TV chef. But after seeing this, he's more than that - he's really passionate, he cares about what he's saying, and, more importantly, he's acting on it.
I'm a big fan of Jamie. I work in a school that he worked with and all the kids eat fruit and veg as if it was the most natural thing in the world ( which it is) My sons all cook mainly because he taught them to be honest ( through his TV shows) although I like to think I encouraged them as well. We use his books and he has influenced our diets alot. I suspect that he would just be thrilled that you're talking about this even though you're fighting. That is positive and to be encouraged.
You are awesome, Jamie Oliver. Your message is strong and straight forward. You are enthusiastic in what you believe in, and it is inspiring. Keep it up!
In Italy is now airing "Jamie's Food Revolution", and I'm so shocked for what i've seen!!! I grow up with a strong food culture, and I've never tought that somewhere the situation could be like that... It's really scary! Cooking with fresh ingredients, and avoid as much as possible fast food or convenience food, for me is the normality... For this I'm grateful to my family and to the italian way of life! This people will be grateful for what you're doing for them!!! You're saving their lifes...
Inspiring! The Food Revolution has just started on tv over here in the UK. Watching this it seems that Jamie did achieve some of what he set out to achieve but there is a lot more to do I'm sure. Good Luck Jamie oh and btw , congrats on becoming the daddy of a brand new baby son. Penny x
he brought a tear to my eye. his words are so obvious brilliant and curious that even I remembered where I came from to a point of shock. Shock from where i come from is so strange in itself but a point of shock what i grew up with.. to be blunt it's like he told us we are beautiful trees and the only water or feed we've got was a bunch of piss. God bless Jamie Oliver.
WOW! When he showed the vegetables to the kids, I was stunned that they didn't even knew half of the vegetables. They should indeed teach their kids about food at school. In Norway, we have done that for at least since I was a kid. And last time I checked, they still do.
Jamie you are inspiring. Keep up the amazing work. I will do my part to educate my friends and anyone that comes into my life about change and eating healthy. Im a college student in the US and I am currently in a speech class doing a project on Childhood Obesity in the US. Youa re one of my inspirations to help spread the word. Thanks for helping show one person can make a difference that we can all help change the future.
This is the most INTENSE TED talk I had ever seen, He set the stage on fire.

Jamie I hope too see this.!! I am 19 years old, studying cook and I'm your fan, since childhood. to admire and support on that one.! You inspire each new cook.! continued what you do, we were with you m8.!!!! :) good luck.!!!
Excellent Jamie, it takes courage to say it out loud and I am really proud of you, my human peer, for doing it! Thank you , for us all!
Jamie Oliver is a true legend of this world, what a great guy.
Helping all these people must be so challenging and

I am so happy you got a TED talk! you really deserve it!

That idea is everywhere now in 2022 + maybe thanks to u mentioning it in this centrist place?! Thank you!
Jamie's speech really got to me even tho I'm not obese the way he talks about it he really means everything.

11:15 I can't belive that, this is... scary. Thanks God in my country kids still know names of vegetables, but this speech made me really sad

I've always Loved Jamie!! He IS the reason I wanted to become a chef!! Such an amazing and Inspirational Man!!
#jamieoliver I've been following you since this #tedtalks As a foodie and former rerestaurateur who loves real food just as much as everyone...I appreciate your message and really want to bring it to every school in the states. How can I get involved? Any suggestions.
He is so passionate. Wow. Almost frightening.
i like the way of your cooking go on jamie
وحش اخر حاجة
برضو بحبه طبخه ولكنته ف الكﻻم ولدغته ف الانجليزي تحفاااااااااااا
Jamie, I really admire you for all those initiatives, you are an outstanding cook and wonderful communicator. Thank you so much for everything
great speech!
Jaime, I am proud of you. I share your inspiration and enthusiasm with my students. Keep going. Never stop.
Are people incapable of keeping there phones in there pockets? Jamie is giving an amazing speech and there not even paying attention...
+Stephen S that shows how 'amazing' his speech is, isn't it?
+vrtf They are probably journalists taking notes
Drugs Bunny yeah right, those days are over :D they record everything today in the 21 century
Jamie you are such an inspiration!
Maybe there has not been much progress as written in posts below however, we need to begin the change as individuals. Our self, and our children at home. The change starts there. Don't wait for governments to make these changes, you can make the change right now, this day on your own table! You can make your children's lunch and take it to school. You can put healthy food on your own table. You can make the change now. So do not pass this off as no change has been made. the change begins with us now, In our own home, our own life, our choice, our responsibility. Choose health and choose the change.
I feel so greatful for the great food that I've got through all my school years. They would never serve fast food in schools in Finland. That makes me proud of my country.
(..she is from Finland, not the U.S.)
Everytime I walk into a supermarket or open my fridge, I ask myself: WWJD, not what would Jesus do, but what would Jamie do :p, WOULD JAMIE FORGET VEGETABLES, WOULD JAMIE GET THAT FROZEN PIZZA!
Helps alot, it does. :3
His passion has completely won me over. I think we need more of that and less of those "too cool for school" attitudes you run into whenever you try to share this with someone and it gets shot down.
Thank you Ted and thank you Jamie
moving..
You are awesome! Thank you for all your hard work... this movement is getting bigger and bigger.
09:10 "you could say the schoolfood is kinda important during the circumstances"
people laugh.. What is so funney about that?.. this is death serious..
I love this guy's attitude. Keep on fighting Jamie!
Nothing's happened because of the average Americans ignorant resistance to being told. They won't be told by anyone, even when it's so obvious they are wrong. Arrogance is leading them to early graves.
Nice to see this mission! I've been cooking all my life and will make it a personal goal to help with this mission and will be looking for ways to reach out to the public and help teach others in the community to cook.
Yes Jamie!! Food is one of the most important parts of our lives Monsanto should be burnt to the ground,
Also he spoke of obesity not of people being fat and I doubt he's just doing it for the money he isn't going to.uproot his whole family to the USA to make money when he makes a he'll of alot in the uk as it is and he's changed how supermarkets work in the uk ever since working with Sainsbury and other food outlets and super markets it's pretty obvious he believes in what he's saying and he's speaking sense a he'll of alot of it too x
he probably made a lot but it took an extreme amount of hard work, and he obviously really really wants it to come true
I wonder if Brittany is still alive since 6 years has passed
Unfortunately not
How do you know?
Sorry. I didn't mean to sound stuck up. I just highly doubt she is living right now.
Love your passion Jamie. It takes this sort of passion and commitment to get things to change. Let's get behind him and help the change on our children, family and local community.
144 thumbs down? Must be all the salt, sugar and fat dealers!
This is uncomfortable to watch, as we are all guilty to some degree.
I used to teach home and family life skills in junior high. That was 30 years ago. Very few schools now have these programs. They need to be reinstated to teach young people about nutrition and food preparation.
Then come join us, learn how to cook like chinese, learn some traditonal chinese dishes.
Thank you Jamie, and thank you TED for this, and all the videos you have now released to the world. One my fav podcasts!!!
He still supports dairy and meat industry which is the biggest when it comes to CO2 , main reason for heart-diseases... If he didn't support that industry and really cared about people's health and had 'knowledge' you wouldn't see him on TedTalks or Television...
+Tomasz Cnota meat and milk is important in a healthy diet
@@TheCoBBus so the meat and dairy industries tell you.
Love ya Jamie! You couldn't have said it any better. Amazing speech right there.
Love to see his passion toward this subject.
I used to think Jamie Oliver was a typical TV chef. But after seeing this, he's more than that - he's really passionate, he cares about what he's saying, and, more importantly, he's acting on it.
I'm a big fan of Jamie. I work in a school that he worked with and all the kids eat fruit and veg as if it was the most natural thing in the world ( which it is) My sons all cook mainly because he taught them to be honest ( through his TV shows) although I like to think I encouraged them as well. We use his books and he has influenced our diets alot. I suspect that he would just be thrilled that you're talking about this even though you're fighting. That is positive and to be encouraged.
jamie ure really one hell of man..thank you so much.
You are awesome, Jamie Oliver. Your message is strong and straight forward. You are enthusiastic in what you believe in, and it is inspiring. Keep it up!
In Italy is now airing "Jamie's Food Revolution", and I'm so shocked for what i've seen!!!
I grow up with a strong food culture, and I've never tought that somewhere the situation could be like that... It's really scary!
Cooking with fresh ingredients, and avoid as much as possible fast food or convenience food, for me is the normality... For this I'm grateful to my family and to the italian way of life!
This people will be grateful for what you're doing for them!!! You're saving their lifes...
The man is doing his work, for the society..awesome TED talk..one of the best ever..
From another Englishman to Americans, I also hope the best for you and we can deal with these issues together. We're in it together.
Well done Jamie. You've been inspirational to me for nearly 20 years.
I really adore Jamie for his US mission. Keep going Jamie!
Inspiring! The Food Revolution has just started on tv over here in the UK. Watching this it seems that Jamie did achieve some of what he set out to achieve but there is a lot more to do I'm sure. Good Luck Jamie oh and btw , congrats on becoming the daddy of a brand new baby son.

he brought a tear to my eye. his words are so obvious brilliant and curious that even I remembered where I came from to a point of shock. Shock from where i come from is so strange in itself but a point of shock what i grew up with.. to be blunt it's like he told us we are beautiful trees and the only water or feed we've got was a bunch of piss.
God bless Jamie Oliver.
WOW! When he showed the vegetables to the kids, I was stunned that they didn't even knew half of the vegetables. They should indeed teach their kids about food at school. In Norway, we have done that for at least since I was a kid. And last time I checked, they still do.
Sometimes honesty is a bitter pill to swallow.
I love getting educated, and TED is a great motivator to get educated! This is one of the main reasons I watch TED talks.
Wonderfully inspiring. He impresses me more each time I hear about him. Well done, Jamie, and thank you so much for caring.
amazing speech with such an
important message! well done
Eco Beeps loves the message that Jamie is spreading! Thank you for stepping up and doing this.
If I could like this a million times I would! Love what you're doing Jamie, please continue - we are all behind you and will support you 100%.
Thank You Jaime, for holding school districts accountable, educating parents and caregivers.Your work is GREATLY APPRECIATED.
Jamie you are inspiring. Keep up the amazing work. I will do my part to educate my friends and anyone that comes into my life about change and eating healthy. Im a college student in the US and I am currently in a speech class doing a project on Childhood Obesity in the US. Youa re one of my inspirations to help spread the word. Thanks for helping show one person can make a difference that we can all help change the future.
He really is a sweetheart, putting himself out there.
I love his passion.
We gotta teach our kids about food at school, period.
He rocks.
absolutely amazing. this speech made me respect him even more !
Jamie knows his stuff. Good on you man.
