1. Food labeling contributes to the obesity problem in our society because some things will say that it is low fat but it is full of so much sugar. They put these labels on because they have to but there is a law where they can be off by a certain amount onthe food label. They want to just label things, but sometimes they label things and they aren’t right


2.The big food brands need to put food education all around their business. With fast food chains they need to make their food healthier and not as processed so that when we have fast food it won’t do as much harm to us.



3.He wishes that we would teach kids more about food. I think it is admirable because no onereally teaches kids what food is anymore and if we don’t do this then they will have no idea what certain food is and any nutritional facts about food. If we taught them about food then they would be knowledgeable about what they eat.

Answer: Jamie Oliver is referenced in the question and he shared powerful stories from his anti-obesity project in Huntington, W. Va., TED Prize winner Jamie Oliver makes the case for all-out assault on our ignorance of food.

Q1. Labelling is a massive problem as it is a disgrace in self pleasing themselves. They say "it is low in fats but filled with so much sugar." Labelling is an absolute false and it has to be sorted.

Q2. In schools proper fresh food should be cooked. Ensuring every normal American children knows how to cook at least 10 recipes that would save their lives. Impacting life skills. I agree so as to learn how to live and eat healthy.

"I wish for everyone to help create a strong, sustainable movement to educate child about food, inspire families to cook again and empower people everywhere to fight obesity." Jamie Oliver.

This is wish a noble and admirable quest in preserving the next generation.
