Jamie Oliver Ted Talk

Do a reflection of the video on your blog.  Embed the video onto your blog, and then comment on 3 “takeaways” from the video for you.  Maybe it was something that shocked you, or surprised you, or made you think differently about our diet.

In this ted talk, Jamie Oliver did a great job explaining the importance of what we eat. It was so terrifying to see the diet of one normal family and the amount of processed food they eat. It was also really interesting to see the statistics of how many people are dying from diet related diseases other than homicide or murder. Jamie also did a good job on explaining the thought process of school boards and why what we eat in school is so important. It really shocked me that milk bottles in school hold the same out of calories as sodas. Lastly, I never thought of obesity as something so easily curable, if it was cancer everyone would be running to get the cure, but for obesity, parents are killing their kids with fast food.
