~ Food Revolution Day 2012 ~

Have you every heard about Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution? Well, I certainly do not until I was being introduced by a fellow food blogger friend, Derrick about the Food Revolution Day which is going to be held in Singapore on 19th May (Saturday).

Why is there a food revolution?

"We're losing the war against obesity in the US. It's sad, but true. Our kids are growing up overweight and malnourished from a diet of processed foods, and today's children will be the first generation ever to live shorter lives than their parents. It's time for change. It's time for a Food Revolution."
.................... 

"The only message I keep hearing is that you believe your kids need better food, and that you want help to keep cooking skills alive. That's why this Food Revolution matters."

~ Jamie Oliver

Learn more about Food Revolution Day and it's misson for better food and bringing food education back to people. I went to search for his revolution videos and its amazing how he has shown nuggets are made and his effort in bringing in awareness and changing the way we cook, and to eat real food instead of processed food.

There will be cooking demos, talks, giveaways, games and performances and it will be a chance where people who love and enjoy food would come together. It looks like a great event for everyone and moving towards a healthier lifestyle through understanding the food we eat everyday.
