What is Revolution Day?
“Food Revolution
Day” on May 17th is a global day of action for people to make a stand for
good food and essential cooking skills. It's a chance for people to come
together within their homes, schools, workplaces and communities to cook and
share their kitchen skills, food knowledge and resources. Food Revolution Day
aims to raise awareness about the importance of good food and better food
education for everyone by focusing on three simple actions – cook it, share it,
live it (Better Food Foundation, 2013). (http://www.jamieoliver.com/foodrevolutionday)
Hello everyone. My name is Jorge Zarate.
Today, I want to share with you this information
that can help anyone who is at risk for a heart attack and for general knowledge to all of us, especially the new generations. Chef Jamie Oliver
started a movement on May 19, 2012
called Food Revolution
Day. I presented a persuasive speech in my Presentation Skills class on this topic. I firmly
believe and share
the opinion of Jamie Oliver to promote a
sustainable culture to educate
new and existing generations
to fight obesity and bad eating habits, as well as to promote, educate,
and share the basic skills of cooking food
with our families, friends, and people
that surround us. This topic
inspired me to such a degree that I shared this information with my class instructors,
classmates and the student
advisory board members. We can make our
own group to support this cause and be part of this
annual international event, the International Food Revolution Day, which for this year was on May 17. Unfortunately we didn’t
have enough time to hold this event at our school this year. Nevertheless, the seed has been planted and I hope that the next year, I would be available
to come back here and join in this
noble cause and help grant Jamie
Oliver’s dream of achieving
his goal, which he describes as follows.
“I
wish for everyone to help create a strong, sustainable movement to educate
every child about food, inspire families to cook again and empower people
everywhere to fight obesity”
