Food Revolution Day

Sunday, May 20, 2012

As many of you know I am a huge fan of Jamie Oliver and share many of the same views as him on the way we eat and the huge problem we face. Jamie Oliver declared last Friday as Food Revolution Day. It was a very simple concept. A day to educate others about what they eat, how to cook, and inspiring others. This is a great way to get people together to enjoy a meal, each other's company, and learn how to eat better. I spent last Friday with great friends eating a meal that was all freshly prepared and absolutely delicious. This is such a great time of year to have days like this. As the gardens are starting to blossom and the weather is starting to get nicer, I can't think of better ways to spend the summer nights. I understand that the Food Revolution Day has already come and gone, but we can continue this all summer long. It can be a weekly event where we have Pot Lucks and fun gatherings with our friends. It is great to share delicious and healthy recipes and also involve our kids in the process of preparing the foods.  It is a shame that recipes are not handed down through generations anymore. We can get this going on again by kids cooking with us adults and hopefully continuing to do so as they grow older.
