Food REVOLUTION

Before I get going here, I just wanted to acknowledge Emily’s outstanding performance at the Crossfit Canada West Regionals over the weekend.  Congratulations Emily, well done! At times we couldn’t decide which was more entertaining, your unrelenting pace, or Toms animated expressions and overall state of nervous unrest (just kidding).  The girls rocked it over the weekend and you definitely brought your A-game.

Fantastic article on the games website the other day.  We’re very proud of you.

All the best in Carson, California!

Back to business –

In keeping on the topic of good food that Charlie has posted over the last couple of days, I wanted to share an older TED Talk video of highly motivated speaker, Jamie Oliver (ABC TV’s Food Revolution) who discusses the awful reality of obesity in the USA.

If you can spare twenty minutes, I would highly recommend that you watch.

… And don’t think we’re living in a bubble here in Canada.  We are close behind some of the largest countries in the world at an approximate obesity rate of 25%, merely 8% away from the USA’s rate of approximately 33%.

Embrace your kitchen as your medicine cabinet and have a wonderful May-long weekend!
