A big THANK YOU for #FoodRevolutionDay 2015!

29 Jul 2015 — Hi guys, Jamie here!

Thank you to each and every one of you for signing and sharing our petition to get compulsory, practical food education on school curriculums across the world. We now have more than 1.5 million signatures, as well as support from brilliant people, like Kylie Minogue, Usain Bolt and hundreds of chefs.

Our day of global action, Food Revolution Day on 15 May was an incredible celebration of good, fresh, nutritious food in our fight for food education. We had more than 8,000 schools across 100 countries joining in, with thousands of kids cooking and learning about the importance of healthy food. The Food Revolution Day song got more than 36 million hits, which just shows that you all really care about the campaign – I’m incredibly grateful. So we have made this video to thank all of you that helped spread the word on that day.

Watch it and share it! http://on.fb.me/1ewH8Uj

Our fight to get food education on school curriculums isn’t over yet. We’re now planning to write to every government across the world to see how they prioritise food education. With diet-related diseases rising at a shocking rate, food education needs to be pushed high up the agenda, and we won’t stop until that happens. We still need your continued support to make it as impactful as possible. So if you haven’t already, please share the video with your friends and family and help me continue spread the word!

I will be writing to you again after the summer with more news and asking for your support for new actions!

Thank you and big love,
Jamie O x
