Jamie Oliver is one of our heroes: Imagine the consequence of teaching kids how to cook:
The sooner we start to think about what we consume and how to prepare it the better. I would have loved to have learned about cooking and food at a young age. It would have opened a whole world of delicious discoveries, not to mention better nutrition. Of course it wouldn’t hurt for adults to learn it either, as Jamie says “if everyone would teach three people to cook something nutritious and they teach three of their friends, it would only have to be repeated 25 times to have taught the population of the United States”. Incredible.
