Jamie Oliver a food guru and a household name is known for his fantastic food, television shows, and successful restaurants. What many do not know is that Jamie is known for much more than just his cooking skills. He took his cooking techniques and used that to take on an ever-growing problem, childhood obesity. Jamie began a trek to ban unhealthy food in the UK and to substitute that unhealthy food with healthier alternative. He then took the initiative to try and change the types of food that was served to children in school. Instead of just dictating others to change the food to healthier options, he showed the school systems that there are cost-efficient ways to serve good and healthy food. Jamie Oliver’s approach to changing the food youth eat can be seen all over the place. For example even in my own high school, over the past years there has been a significant change in the food served in the cafeteria. It is great to see people who have skills and ideas that have made them rich, such as Jamie Oliver, use those skills to help solve or alleviate a problem that is prevalent in our world today. It clearly shows that those in business can have a heart and use their skills that made them successful in business to improve the world as a whole.
