TED Prize winner Jamie Oliver continues food revolution

British celebrity chef Jamie received a TED Prize that entitled him to make a wish that the group's influential members would try to make real. He revealed his desire during this high-energy talk at a TED gathering with the likes of Google co-founder Larry Page, Microsoft chief strategy officer Craig Mundie, YouTube co-creator Chad Hurley, and Amazon.com boss Jeff Bezos. "I wish for your help to create a strong, sustainable movement to educate every child about food, inspire families to cook again and empower people everywhere to fight obesity," Oliver said.Oliver started a movement to get school children eating healthier food in Britain and is now taking on the United States. He worked with a US television broadcaster last year on a series based on a reality show focused on bringing healthful eating habits to residents of a West Virginia town notorious for corpulent citizenry and junk food culture.
By the time Oliver left the stage, "TEDsters" in the audience had promised office space, access to US legislators, buses for mobile food education teams, and help making a website and a healthy meals cookbook.
