Teach Every Child About Food
The chef, Jamie Oliver, that composed this video is addressing the problems of health related issues in the United States that are increasingly killing people more and more each year due to the lack of knowledge in how to cook or of what to consume. Oliver shows statistics that correlate the main causes of death in the U.S. at this time are health conditions such as obesity and heart disease, which are both preventable.
Jamie Oliver's solution for this problem is to educate people, from children to adults, of which foods to eat, how to prepare those foods, and how to live a balanced life to prevent health implications.
In your opinion, do you think if people are properly educated about what food products are healthy and how to prepare healthy meals will the percentage of obesity in our country go down?

I think that if people are properly educated about what food products are healthy and how to prepare healthy meals, the percentage of obesity in our country could go down. While people love learning about what is really in food and how to be healthy, it will take them being determined to do something about their health for the percentage to drop. I believe that people do have the motivation in them to become healthier, but it is a very difficult lifestyle change - especially for people who are overweight and obese - and it is hard to commit to. Nevertheless, I think that people have the power to change and the knowledge to make those changes is essential.
