Jamie Oliver in food education plea over child obesity levels

Jamie Oliver is launching a global petition calling for all children to be given food education. The TV chef said it was shocking that global obesity has doubled since 1980 and action needs to be taken to tackle the problem.

The petition, which is running on the change.org website, urges the governments of G20 countries to give youngsters practical food education in schools.
