You must watch this talk given by <a href="http://www.ted.com/talks/jamie_oliver.html">Jamie Oliver</a>, upon receipt of the TED award.  Oliver speaks passionately about how obesity is killing America and the rest of the world.  He believes - and I agree 100% - that the way to combat this epidemic is to re-teach people how to cook.  Fast food, poor school lunches, and the convenience food industry are shortening our lifespan and the lifespans of future generations.  But we can fight this - by merely returning to the kitchen.  Please watch and take a second to really hear what he has to say...is your diet killing you and your family?
