"Steven Gerrard and Jamie Oliver call on PM to fight obesity"

"Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver and England footballer Steven Gerrard are calling on the government to fight obesity through cookery teaching in schools.

They have joined figures in health and education as signatories to a letter to the prime minister suggesting changes be made to the national curriculum.

The letter says all pupils aged four to 14 would benefit from food education."

What a great idea! It is definitely needed. A big step in the right direction.

"Jamie Oliver and Steven Gerrard have joined forces with leading figures in health and education to ask the Government to fight obesity through cookery teaching in schools.
In a letter to Prime Minister David Cameron, they call on him to introduce a minimum 24 hours' practical cooking skills and food education for all pupils aged four to 14.
The group laments that the "pride" of hosting the Olympic Games has been "tainted by the shameful fact that Britain is officially the fattest nation in Europe". But the Games provide a good opportunity to change things for the better, they suggest".

Well hopefully he can channel his energies back into society, in the future. Rehabilitation of offenders and all that.....

But on a more serious note, if Jamie and Stevie G can pull this off it will be such a great thing. Its the place to start.....needs a change in mindset on food in the UK.
