Food Revolution Day…have you heard of it? It’s an amazing cause and a great reason to
celebrate (and enjoy delicious food) with friends and family. And it's happening TODAY!
What?
Food Revolution Day was created by Jamie Oliver (aka the
Naked Chef and my food hero). It’s a day
for people to take action and make a stand for good food and essential cooking
skills. It’s a opportunity for people to
gather within their homes, schools, businesses, and communities to cook and
share kitchen skills, food knowledge, and resources. This day aims to raise awareness about the
importance of good food and increased food education for everyone by focusing
on three simple actions – cook it, share it, live it.
The first Food Revolution Day took place on May 19, 2012
with more than 1,000 events in 664 cities across 62 countries.
Who?
Food Revolution Day is celebrated globally as an individual,
or within schools, business, or organizations that want to take part in hosting
or attending activities in their area.
Many of these activities can be organized by voluntary Food Revolution
ambassadors who play a leadership role across the work in connecting individuals,
schools, businesses, and organizations at a local level.
Why?
Cooking skills that were previously passed down from
generation to generation, are now lacking in millions of people. We need to get back to the basics by cooking
and eating fresh local produce, sharing cooking skills and food knowledge, and
joining forces within our communities to get as many people involved as
possible. Food Revolution Day is our
opportunity to get the world to focus on the importance of good food and
essential cooking skills, by rallying our efforts to empower people with better
cooking skills and inspiring them to cook fresh from scratch.
Where?
Food Revolution Day will happen in kitchens of homes and
communities around the world inspiring people to take steps towards a healthier
lifestyle.
How?
Now go and enjoy Food Revolution Day. Make a difference because this matters.
