Jamie Oliver, the Naked Chef, gives a passionate talk on the food we eat, and why it’s killing America (and the world). The rise in obesity and diet related diseases is alarming.

As a citizen, I’m alarmed at the huge economic cost of obesity related health problems, no doubt in the billions of dollars. As a human, I’m alarmed at the emotional cost of poor eating habits, affecting many if not most of the people we know and love.
