You say you want a revolution



Jamie Oliver, chef-activist and recent recipient of the TED Prize given exceptional individuals to grant their "One Wish to Change the World," has a new show about revolutionizing the way American families eat (frozen pizza and chicken nuggets) and the way schools feed (frozen pizza and chicken nuggets) our children. It's called Food Revolution and everyone should watch it. I know it is reality TV. But it's real. He is bringing major issues to the forefront on a major network. It's horrifying and it often feels that he is hardly scratching the surface, but it also feels like the beginning of what really could be a revolution. He has a list of Food Heroes on his site and I think he belongs right there with them.
