Jamie Oliver’s TED Prize Wish

Life coincidences are strange.  Today in the mountains one of Sophie-G’s school pals spending the holidays with us asked for a Mars Bar for breakfast.  He’s charming, smart and kind but he’s not my son and so I let him eat it with only a wry comment from me.  Later, feeling guilty, I manage to get him to eat an apple.  But still life throws me back a question mark by leading me to Jamie Oliver’s speech a few hours later and I realise how remiss I was by not refusing and  cooking up some eggs instead.  Mine was a small task and I failed.  Jamie Oliver’s task is humongous.  He is attempting to convert all Mars Bar eaters in the USA to eat apples forever.  He’s brilliant.
