He gave a TED Talk, Teach Every Child about Nutrition, that has nearly six million views. In it, he says, “I profoundly believe that the power of food has a primal place in our homes.” He certainly doesn’t sugarcoat the current, horrendous state of our food system. Oliver begins his talk by telling his audience that over the course of his 20-minute talk, four Americans will die from their food. “The adults of the last four generations have blessed [their] children with the destiny of a shorter lifespan than their own parents. Your child will live a life 10 years younger than [yours].”
Oliver says the media goes on and on about homicide, but it’s not even close to the top cause of death in the U.S. “Diet-related disease is the biggest killer in the U.S. right now,” says Oliver, “and the rest of the world is going the same way.” We spend $150 billion a year treating diet-related diseases, and that number is set to double in the next decade.
