Never thought you'd see The Naked Chef like this. Jamie Oliver ... fat ... with stubby fingers ... longingly looking at that delicious chip. With tomato sauce.
Well, Jamie Oliver isn't really fat (it's just a fat suit) but the TV chef is drawing attention to obesity in the developing world, and spoke at the One Young World conference in Switzerland in Friday.
''Pre-packed convenience food is seen as a symbol of being 'modern' in developing countries, but the problems it causes are long-term, and costly,'' Jamie Oliver said according to The Observer. He called for a ''global movement to make obesity a human rights issue.
Jamie Oliver asked countries to hold on to their national dishes and for recipes to pass from generation to generation.
''With our western-style diets, our biggest problems are a direct result of what the experts call 'bad feeding' – which basically means eating a load of rubbish, highly processed food that's jammed full of salt, fats, sugars, additives, and cheap processed meats," Jamie Oliver said. "Governments around the world like it when food is cheap and shops are full, but they're achieving this by allowing big businesses to pump out this sort of food and drink in mass volumes."
