20 Shocking Minutes
This Is Important!
Jamie Oliver's TED Prize wish: Teach every child about food is a "must-see" presentation. You don't even have to watch it online - you can download it for later, read the transcript instead, or even read along to it. If you have children you owe it to yourself to set aside some time and watch this straight through, even if only to reassure yourself that your own kids are not part of the affected majority.
I realize I am starting to get all worried/ fanatical/evangelical about the child obesity epidemic. I think it's mainly because it's getting so uncomfortably close to home. My kids aren't obese - yet. But I am far from satisfied with either their current diet or their level of physical activity. Unfortunately, the solutions are not uncomplicated. It's not as simple as putting more vegetables in front of them and then pushing them out the door. Or is it?
I guess I should take some comfort in the fact that I have at least identified the issue before it's (hopefully) too late. I've got to figure this out.
