Food Revolution

In thousands of cities and villages around the world there are people suffering from hunger. On the opposite side, there is a never ending an abundance of food options in some of the more developed places in the world. For the people living in these areas that could mean a good thing. They have access to daily nutritional and satisfying meals. Unfortunately that also means that they have the option to eat mass produced, processed and unhealthy foods which leads to various health risks, including death.

With a population of about 50,000 folks, Huntington, West Virginia has been called the unhealthiest city in America. One man wants to change all that. British chef Jamie Oliver has crossed an ocean to help save a city. How's he going to do that? Well, Jamie is plotting a food revolution!

The impassioned chef, TV personality and best-selling author is determined to take on the high statistics of obesity, heart disease and diabetes in the U.S.A., where the nation's children are the first generation not expected to live as long as their parents. Oliver is inviting viewers to take a stand and change the way America eats, in their home kitchens, schools and workplaces.

Personally I feel that he's has great potential. I've lived in this bountiful country for several years now, and I can honestly say I have gained a massive amount of weight since the day I got here. I can not blame anyone but myself, since I am the one who makes the decision on what I eat. However when you have so many fast food and processed options, they get to you....and it's not hard to get addicted to them. Even as a vegetarian I can find an alarming array of unhealthy eats. So I am working on changing my own bad eating habits and making time for much needed gym sessions. I used to take it for granted that I'm so blessed to be living in a place where you have so much food, and so many places to work out. Many People in the world don't even have a loaf of bread to eat or have ever seen a gym in their life.

Below is the first episode of of Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution. Unfortunately if you are not in the USA, you will not be able to see the video below. So I also will give you this link which might work for you (not all countries apply). If that also fails, then you might be able to find preview trailers on youtube. Let me know if you need help finding it.
