Healthy Eating with children

Obesity is a real problem here in the UK, even with children.
Jamie Oliver spoke out about these issues in 2010 during his Ted Talks lecture and since then some progress has been made.  

Jamie Oliver said during this speech:

The home needs to pass on cooking again.... I wish for everyone to help create a strong, sustainable movement to educate every child about food, inspire families to cook again and empower people everywhere to fight obesity.

Jamie Oliver educates children through hands-on activities; by going to schools and encouraging children how to cook.

Change 4 Life:

This program aims to educate children about healthy eating. Their colours are very bright and contrasting to draw the eye. The shapes they use in their designs are rounded and friendly.

Eat the Seasons

Eat the seasons meanwhile aims to educate children about different types of foods, more specifically which foods are in season when.

There are a number of different organisations that aim to educate children about healthy food.
 My cookbook aims to educate children about healthy foods and encourage them to have fun making meals, rather than heading to fast food places all the time. I want to make my cookbook engaging and fun so that these subjects do not seem dry and lecture-like to the children.
