Celebrity Naked Chef Jamie Oliver, on a quest to
transform the eating habits of school children, appeared on NBC's Today Show with Katie Couric this morning to share
fun healthy recipes and tips on how to encourage children to eat healthy. Oliver suggested involving your children in
meal preparation, from planning the menu -- to visiting the fishmonger in selecting fish for dinner -- to preparing the
meal. In the spring cooking school episode, Fake out your family
with these healthy dishes, showed Oliver preparing Summer Pan-Baked Salmon that children would not turn down.
NBC features the salmon recipe, as well as several others, for viewers online.In addition, Oliver hosts Jamie's School Lunch Project, which airs on The Learning Channel. This television series covers a range of issues, from diet and obesity, behavior, nutritional standards, food education -- to the need for a clear government policy on school meals and children's diets. I cannot imagine a better long-term cancer prevention plan than teaching children how to eat healthy when they are young. Oliver makes it easy and fun. TLC hosts an online feature of Oliver's show, with tips, recipes and advice. To learn more about Oliver's projects, programs and where to find his blog, go here.
