It’s been an incredible busy week as I have been up to my eyeballs writing my next book. With sometimes as many as 20 websites open and books strewn all over the floor, I feel like my head is exploding. However, it has been the most exciting project of my life and well worth returning from Guatemala to complete in time for a fall release.
While doing all the research I became reacquainted with Jamie Oliver. Known by many on the Food Channel as The Naked Chef, Jamie is an activist par none. Wow! He has my commendation hands down for his stand on issues that many people are ignoring. Issues around the typical North American diet that is killing our kids.
I was shocked to hear that for the first time, the generation of young people today will be the first generation to live a shorter life than their parents! Yup, if you haven’t heard that report, you’re probably rereading it in disbelief.
I’m working on a very tight deadline to get my book ready so I’m not going to write an entire dissertation on this topic but I do encourage you to watch Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution. It’s on ABC tonight – there’s last week’s show on at 8:00 and his latest on at 9:00. I haven’t watched a show yet that I haven’t cried at some point in time.
Sorry but 12-year-old kids who weigh 318 pounds and 17-year-old teen girls who are given 7 years to live because of their obesity seems criminal to me.
Watch it tonight please! It will be one of the best hours you can spend this week. And let me know what you think. I’d love to hear!
