hello lovely people today is a serious
one it is World Food Day what does that
mean let me tell you but please try and
watch this video because there’s a few
little kind of rants that I’m going to
have and I think they’re important and
if you love food or if you love
community and if you love the future
looking a bit more rosy then you have to
be a little bit of a ranter like me so
where should we start today is a really
really important day it is World Food
Day so that’s basically action against
hunger so the wonderful world that we
live in which of course is celebrating
food and food education is we are in a
really weird moment right now where last
year for the first time in history ever
more people died from eating too much of
the wrong stuff than not having enough
of stuff so I’m gonna give you some
stats and I’m looking a bit of paper so
forgive me the biggest employer in the
world is farming the biggest industry in
the world is food so it’s really can
imagine more so than oil and all those
things food is massive the UN estimates
there’s 805 million hungry people in the
world 26% of world’s children are
stunted because of malnutrition so that
is a little bit of World Food Day stuff
let me catch you up on some of my stuff
if that’s alright so and probably a
third of my time is spent not writing
not cooking not making TV shows actually
about a third of it maybe more they
spent on campaigning so five months ago
we had a food revolution day I believe
it’s a child’s human right no matter
what country they live in in the world
whether it’s obesity or hunger it
doesn’t matter it’s a child’s human
right in every country around the world
to have food education in school and you
all spoke every single country on the
planet voted we had 1.6 million votes
incredible these campaigns we drive we
run and we do the best that we can with
limited funds the g20 is when the g20
countries comes together and is driven
by prime ministers and presidents
diet-related disease is still one of the
biggest killers of people so we believe
it should be discussed at the g20 we are
working in the UK
the moment to try and get the government
to debate a possible sugar tax now
people hate tax I’m not expecting you to
love it
the biggest source of sugar in our
children is sugary sweetened drinks
empty calories no use at all it’s gone
too far too profitable
it’s a massive business we believe it
should be taxed 7 pence on a can that’s
a billion quid a year and that money is
critical really is so we want to take
from Peter and we want to pay Paul and
Paul is very worthy the other part of
Paul is the NHS and this is about
proactive things so the NHS out our
health system and probably similarly
maybe to yours is we’re very much
looking at people that are ill all they
have diet they reckon around 60 to 68
percent of people in hospital are there
because of a diet related issue so we
want that other half for the sugar tax
money to go into outreach to pregnant
pregnant moms breastfeeding all the way
through to people that have diet-related
disease and amputations we want that
proactive not reactive
this Monday I’m getting the grilling
from MPs which is kind of interesting
we’ll see what happens there I’m talking
in front of the Select Committee who are
a group of experts that hold the
government to account you can kind of
see that from driving a Capri and being
a bit of an idiot and cooking beautiful
food with celebs and doing the stuff
that I do behind all of this is really
really deeply important things that need
to be driven for you I’ve been doing it
for 11 years right and I will be doing
it until the day I die I know I know I
know for a fact these are important
issues guys doesn’t matter what country
you come from race religion whatever
this is serious stuff it is about your
family your community your future kids
or your kids and it is a global issue
not a British problem so let’s hear your
comments in the comments box below I
believe that if we go hard and strong
then we’ve got a chance of making a
difference until next time bye bye
I’ll see you after Monday if I’m still
alive take care
