Week #9-TedTalk

The ted talk is called “Teach every child about food” and it’s by Jamie Oliver. The speaker is a British chef and an individual who values a healthy society and generation. The occasion is the announcement of how unhealthy foods are harmful to the newer generation. The primary audience is parents who value the safety and health of their children. The purpose of the ted talk is to educate parents on what junk food contains and how it is harmful for their children. The subject is obesity and how the obesity rate has grown in the last 10 years. I think this video is very interesting and I think it’s very important for parents to be educated on this topic, because they are the main reason for the obesity that is being raised in their homes. If they were educated on junk foods, they would pick healthier items and their children would not have been obese children. The story that Jamie shared that really struck me was about Stacy and how her son who is in 2nd grade is 350 pounds and how her daughter is obese even before she goes to primary school. It’s scary to think that a small boy is 350 pounds and if junk food continues, the boy will be around 1,000 pounds by the age of 25. I feel that Americans are better educated now a days and I feel that they know what is wrong and what is right.
