Food Revolution Day!

Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution!!



In case some of you aren't aware, Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution Day is coming up on Saturday, May 19th. Jamie Oliver is passionate about healthy non-processed food and although he doesn't promote completely raw food, he believes in eating healthy whole foods. My diet is of course high raw, but when I do eat anything cooked, I shoot for organic whole foods (meat free) that are unprocessed. I also choose to feed my family this way because I care about what they put into their bodies. Here's two small paragraphs from Jamie's website:

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 for a Food Revolution.
Food Revolution Day…is a chance for people who love food to come together to share information, talents and resources; to pass on their knowledge and highlight the world’s food issues…We want to inspire change in people’s food habits and to promote the mission for better food and education for everyone.


I just love how much he fights for our American kid's diet! They are the ones that we need to reach before it's too late! I have too often seen young kids in the emergency room that are obese and already starting a life of poor health and dependency on the medical field, when all they need to do is eat right! If for no other reason, let's help our children!


In an effort to help support Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution in the Madison area, Cathartic Cuisine invited The Ironstone NestMilk & Honey Living and Rawfully Wonderful to join in an effort to promote Jamie's Food Revolution Day! This is so exciting to me and I'm honored to be a part of it! In honor of The Food Revolution, we will be hosting a dinner party on Friday May 18th that will include local, organic, whole foods that are prepared and made by us....with love!


I would love to hear if any of you are doing anything similar in your areas!! If you're not, you have 11 days to get started!! It might seem impossible to change the eating habits of American's, but it has to start somewhere, so why not with you!
