Tomorrow is [Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution Day](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jamie-oliver/food-revolution-day_b_1524926.html?ref=daily-brief?utm_source=DailyBrief&utm_campaign=051812&utm_medium=email&utm_content=BlogEntry&utm_term=Daily%20Brief "jamie oliver's food revolution day 2012"). Jamie rose to international prominence through hosting cooking shows on The Food Network. He has used his fame to spearhead a return-to-cooking and healthy eating movement aimed at the younger generations.

According to Jamie:

**Food Revolution Day** is an opportunity for everyone around the world to do something. The Food Revolution and Food Revolution Day is about empowering people through education or, frankly, just inspiring people to be more street-wise about food, where it comes from and how it affects their bodies. If you know how to cook you can save yourself money, feel better and live longer, and the chances are, your kids will follow suit. After all, we all kind of become our parents in the end.

On May 19, thousands of people around the world will come together — businesses, schools, sports stars and celebrities — to hold events, dinners and cooking classes, with the aim of putting good food back on the agenda. We want to change the way people eat by educating every child about food, giving families the skills to cook from scratch again, and motivating people to stand up for their right to better food.
