The other night I happened to be watching a TV program called ‘Jamie’s Food Revolution’ by world renowned UK Master Chef Jamie Oliver.
On this program, he states that his mission is to save America’s health by changing the way that they eat, which as you could imagine – is no ordinary feat.
But as I sat there and watched the program, I witnessed something that left me speechless.
Jamie entered a classroom and asked the kids to name the vegetables that he was holding up in his hand. A fairly simple task you would think, but to my utter disbelief the kids had absolutely no idea what a tomato or even a potato looked like.
They had no idea that their French Fries originated from the humble potato.
How could this happen?
And the answer is because most of these kids had never seen, let alone eaten, any of these vegetables before (that is, unless they had been processed into something unrecognizable like Ketchup and French Fries!)
Unbelievable.
So if you are a parent and you care about your kids and their future, then you need to watch the 2 minute video below.
Just like Yuri talks about in his book, Eating for Energy, Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution is all about educating yourself on food, and when you switch from processed to fresh food, not only will you feel much healthier, but it will add years to your life as well.
Given most of us today lead fairly hectic and busy lives, it’s incredibly easy not to look after ourselves. But if you are a parent it is your duty to look after your health, and that of your children.
So do yourself a favour, watch the 2 minute video below and you will begin to understand why it is SO important to eliminate processed foods from your diet and to eat more raw food – that is food that has not been processed to death!
So kudos to both Jamie Oliver and Yuri for trying to make a difference …

Audra, again you have hit it right on the nail.The video is great and the truth is that you and I and Yuri are all in this for the same reason, the kids.
Thanks for laying it down on the table the way it needs to be.
I just got Yuri’s new 34 page download and read it in 15 minutes. Please share it with friends and family. The children need to learn from parents that are going to be Eating For Energy from now on.
Thanks again,

Totally agree Audra. I think that show is awesome and it’s pretty shocking to see the state of America’s “food consciousness”. Thanks for spreading the word and inspiring others to eat healthier!
i love jamie oliver he does so many good things. Reading this reminded me about a tv advertisement i saw recently which was encouraging parents to give their children nutella as healthy breakfast, yes it has nuts in it but what about all the other ingredients, next they will be telling us to have a snickers bar for lunch!
Wow. I watched some of his promo videos. It is amazing and sad at the same time that children are being raised like this. Thanks for sharing.
