More about our #FoodFri Featured Panelist:
Food Revolution Day is Jamie Oliver’s global day of action to keep cooking skills alive! It’s about celebrating the importance of good food, passing on cooking skills and raising awareness of how food impacts our health and happiness.
With diet-related illnesses rising at an alarming rate, it has never been more important to educate people about food and how to cook it. Jamie believes this starts with getting kids food smart, making cooking fun and inspiring a love of food that will last a lifetime-and we agree!
Therefore we are calling all kids, families and grown-ups to join us on Revolution Day 2014 this 16 May! Sign up today and join the revolution! And don’t forget to share with us what you are getting up to in the build-up and on Food Revolution Day itself using the hashtag #FRD2014.
