Praise Jamie Oliver and his Food Revolution.  It's time for everyone to wake up and make drastic changes.  No more playing ignorant for the sake of convenience!  We are living in a world where disease and illness are killing us faster and younger than ever before.  We are dying and our children are dying because we are nutritionally deprived.  Yes, we eat the most, yet we are malnourished.  Heart disease, diabetes and cancer are taking over because we eat too many things labeled as 'food' that are truly not safe for human consumption.  Canned, processed, chemical-filled foods are KILLING US.  Take a look at the labels.  When the list of ingredients is long and the only words you recognize besides the main igredient are sugar and salt - it's not a safe option!  Something is wrong when 8 year old children are being diagnosed with adult type-2 diabetes and 12 year old's have enlarged hearts and as much fat stored in their liver as an extremely unhealthy sixty year old.  Wow, this generation of children is the first that is expected to die earlier than their parents.

It's time to create awareness and make a change.  The funny thing is, making fresh, wholesome meals does not have to be time consuming.  Replacing dangerous foods with healthy options is easy.  It is just a matter of trying. Add fresh green salads,tomato salad or lots of raw veggies to your meal.  Make your own dressing to avoid all the sugar,salt and preservatives. Fresh or frozen veggies make easy stir-fry meals.  Home made soups and stews are easy to make in your crock-pot.  Every opportunity you have to replace processed food with fresh food will benefit your body.

Jamie is asking everyone to sign his Food Revolution petition.  He will bring the petition to the White House as a way to implement change in the food service programs in schools.  We can make the change at home, but we need the change to happen in schools too.  Please go to Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution website and sign the petition for change.
