UCC’s Sarah gets her teeth into Jamie campaign

Celebrity chef and food campaigner Jamie Oliver has asked a UCC student to become an ambassador for his latest global food initiative.

First-year dentistry student and youth activist, Sarah Jameel, 23, who is originally from Sri Lanka, said she is looking forward to getting her teeth into Oliver’s Food Revolution movement which aims to educate every child about food, to inspire families to cook, and to empower people to fight obesity.

Oliver used Twitter to endorse her new food blog, Food Beyond Borders — an online storytelling platform connecting people and places through food culture — before asking her to back his Food Revolution movement.
