I wish for everyone to help create a strong, sustainable movement to educate every child about food, inspire families to cook again and empower people everywhere to fight obesity
Jamie Oliver
I am pleased to see that Jamie Oliver has reached TED, or rather that his messaged has reached TED. His passion for transforming food consumption is contagious and highly relevant. It has taken me personally a long time to start cooking, but I now feel this is one of our most essential components of life. I may not be obese and I may not have addicted to fast food in the past either, but it is remarkable how we manage to downplay the most important human needs, such as eating, to such an extreme extent as we do.
Well, I could go on my own rant about this topic, but I think Jamie Oliver does it better, so I strongly recommend watching his talk at TED 2010.
The connection between addiction, obsession, and passion is interesting. All three are similar. I am one that think a lot of what we do is connected to our emotions and mental states. That the mind effects the physical so much.
