It's just us trying to start a movement where everybody passes on a bit of cooking knowledge. We estimate that one person can potentially affect 180 others very quickly so we're just trying to spread the word.

Why would any sensible human being put meat filled with ammonia in the mouths of their children?

Every child should be taught to cook in school, not just talk about nutrition all day. Good food can be made in 15 minutes. This could be the first generation where the kids teach the parents.

Image
Fight the staggering rise of type-2 diabetes by simply learning to cook healthy fresh food - it's fun, and it could save your life!

In England, you're allowed to have an opinion - as long as it comes out of your mouth.

If you only design menus that are essentially junk or fast food, the whole infrastructure supports junk.
Jamie Oliver

Just because the Americans are so good at rattling out accessible and cheap junk food, nobody looks twice when it comes to their food. But there are golden nuggets everywhere.

I want Americans to enjoy food. I want them to celebrate food. I want them to, on occasions, to have big cakes and great things. And I want them to indulge.

I'm probably a bit romantic about it, but I think we humans miss having contact with fire. We need it.

I profoundly believe that the power of food has a primal place in our homes that binds us to the best bits of life.
Jamie Oliver
Image
From quite an early age I realised the effect that good food can have on others.
Jamie Oliver
Image
I think there are definitely two types of student: the academic kids and the 50% who fail. It's very clear to see - it's fact. We're not doing enough for those who fail they need a more physical, tactile approach, involving people skills, team-building, problem-solving, building things.

What I've enjoyed most, though, is meeting people who have a real interest in food and sharing ideas with them. Good food is a global thing and I find that there is always something new and amazing to learn - I love it!

Young people can be disruptive and screw up classes. But even if they are being a pain in the arse it's a cry for help - they don't feel like they are being listened to.
Jamie Oliver
Image
I like ties but I prefer not to wear one when I'm nervous.
Jamie Oliver
Image
I never get tired of talking about food. I do getting tired of fighting governments when they are so clearly not putting the best interest of the children forward.
Jamie Oliver

I hear loads of cynics saying that I'll never be able to change anything. They say that junk food marketing and the ready availability of fast food is just too powerful. But I'd say in response, screw you. I know that most people, if they're really honest, are fed up with the same old rubbish
