I'm a big fan of the Food Network, so Jamie Oliver was not a new name to me. I had even read up on some articles a few months back about the food program he had started. Alice Cooper was a new name to me. She works out of Berkley.
Each of these two have founded programs that they hope will benefit young children by teaching them about the advantages of eating fresh and healthy food versus cheap and junk food. These two both go into schools and provide them with sustainable meals, mostly farm grown and local goodies. I personally love how Cooper has installed salad bars into all her schools.
These two people are undeniably passionate about their causes. They use numbers and statistics to shock their audience with the harsh reality of their children future. Their message is a great and admirable one, to create a better future for our next generation. The disesases these youngsters are faced with are 100% avoidable.
Although i am doing my research paper on teenagers, i hope to cite some of the information provided in these two videos.
I thought Cooper was amazing because she taught children how to grow their own vegetables.
ReplyDeleteCooper and Oliver are targeting the heart of the issue, our youth.
ReplyDeleteI think Cooper is an innovative and inspiring person with her fight against crappy cafeteria foods
ReplyDeleteCooper is a great woman! She deserves admiration for what she does for kids.
ReplyDeleteBlog props: I really enjoyed your blog this semester. you always had something interesting to say.
ReplyDeleteBoth Cooper and Oliver are trying to inform kids about the healthy way, but I wonder if their attempt to fix the obesity problem will work. Because kids are stuck in the old ways, the unhealthy way! SMH
