In a move that Oliver has called a “game-changer,” he and numerous other well-known personalities will take to Facebook Live on May 20, for a seven-hour cooking marathon, read a statement.
‘The Food Revolution is an initiative by celebrity chef Jamie Oliver to create a worldwide campaign to discuss, debate and adopt a healthier way of eating.’
The aim is to encourage people to join them in a full-scale, global food revolution – a major part of which will be giving people the power to lobby their own governments to fight diet-related disease.
Oliver said: “This Food Revolution Day, we are going to give governments that little extra nudge by running the longest-ever Facebook Live campaign, getting millions of people involved from all around the globe. The world is crying out for action, and there has never been a better time to make changes to save millions of lives.”
The “Roy” star also says it is great to be associated with a good cause.
She said: “It’s particularly important to us here in India because we are in the middle of a child nutrition crisis…If we are going to combat the nutrition crisis we have to do it as one.”
