Why we need a Food Revolution

By James Oliver

We're losing the war against obesity in the US. It's sad, but true. Our kids are growing up overweight and malnourished from a diet of processed foods, and today's children will be the first generation ever to live shorter lives than their parents. It's time for change. It's time we switch to fresh food and home cooking. It's time for a Food Revolution.​
