Jamie Oliver's TED Prize wish: Teach every child about food | Video on TED.com

Jamie Oliver has a record of good works. He founded Fifteen
"Fifteen is a commercial business with a purpose – a global social enterprise with young people at its heart. Fifteen has four restaurants worldwide - Amsterdam, Cornwall, London and Melbourne – all of which operate a pioneering apprenticeship scheme for young people, between the ages of 18 and 24, alongside the day-to-day running of the restaurants."
Starting working in his family's pub at an early age, he later became famous as The Naked Chef, and has a direct, wonderful approach to food and sensible nutrition. He's recently won the TED Prize.

"Sharing powerful stories from his anti-obesity project in Huntington, W. Va., TED Prize winner Jamie Oliver makes the case for an all-out assault on our ignorance of food."

Strongly recommend his books and his elan for great simply prepared food. (Pizza crust: water. flour. bash it about. EZ PZ Bob's Your Uncle.)
