You Really Need To Know Who British Health Superstar Jamie Oliver Is

UK cooking sensation Jamie Oliver's new book coming October 2, 2007

Although it sometimes feels like an uphill battle in the struggle to help people learn more about healthy eating, the good news is there are people who are actively engaging our culture and bringing this positive message to the masses through the opportunities they have been given. I'm always happy to share about these with you so you can support them in their work.

We seen it from people like George Stella and Blaine Jelus in the United States in recent years. But as their stardom has sadly begun to wane a bit, there is a man from the UK whose influence on healthy cooking remains very strong--it's the "Naked Chef" himself Jamie Oliver!

Americans may not be as familiar with Jamie as the British people are, but he is indeed quite an influential member of the health community. He has a rather unique knack for bringing attention to the growing obesity epidemic and isn't afraid to push the envelope a bit with his antics.

You'll recall I previously blogged about how Jamie put pressure on the British Education Secretary Alan Johnson to remove junk food from school lunch menus (which instigated the creation of his FeedMeBetter.com petition campaign) and even put on a fat suit to underscore the health and weight problem of his fellow countrymen.

Jamie Oliver is indeed a man to be reckoned with and to pay attention to because he makes a lot of sense. While not explicitly an advocate of the low-carb lifestyle, he is a big fan of making sure people consume healthy fats like the ones found in avocado oil, for example. This isn't something you hear very often from most of the so-called health "experts" these days.

A prolific writer, Jamie is set to release his new Hyperion book on October 2, 2007 entitled Cook With Jamie: My Guide To Making You A Better Cook which is sure to follow in the bestselling footsteps of his complete collection. I've been trying to secure a blog interview with Jamie for well over a year, but he's a hard man to catch up with.

But now you can SEE him for yourself with his video podcast series on YouTube! As I was starting up my own YouTube video series this past week, I noticed Jamie Oliver had already created some remarkable cooking videos that are PERFECT for anyone who is livin' la vida low-carb. I'll share just a few of them with you now.
