Sustainable food revolution - with Jamie Oliver



Sustainability across the three major spheres of the environment, the economy and its society is all about maintaining and improving outcomes so we don't cut life short through bad choices.  Living healthy ecosystems should live on because by definition they are healthy.

This is a neat concept from Jamie Oliver to turn the tide against children being offered fast food or wanting it.

Alternatively we could do nothing and yield the same predicable dire results as shown in the other video below.  Education of parents and children from a very young age appears critical to affect change towards sustainable (and healthy) consumption practices.  Failing to plan correction is planning for more failure.  Life is worth much more than a learned unhealthy food habit that grows into a fatal addiction.




  • Should similar strong and emotive public heath messages be promoted in Australia?
  • Should Australian school canteens be put through the cleaners and held to a higher national standard?
  • Should the state authorities have conditional marriage pre-qualifications that include healthy food and nutrition education and testing standards?
  • Could fast-food advertising prohibition help change this unhelpful community promotion in the same way the harmful smoking industry has been stamped on?
What do you think are the keys to changing and turning an unhealthy consumption culture around?
