Jamie Oliver And Stars Sing For Food Revolution

Jamie Oliver has enlisted the help of music stars and Hollywood A-lister Hugh Jackman for his latest food campaign.

The celebrity chef has published a music video on his Facebook page which features artists including Ed Sheeran, Sir Paul McCartney and Professor Green.

Oliver has labelled 15 May as Food Revolution Day and is hoping to get one million people to sign a petition to educate children about food and inspire people to cook healthy meals.

He said: "Ed just came in to do a little bit of filming for me, to support Food Revolution Day. I start telling him a few things, writing a few things down, and then he only went and wrote an anthem."

The video shows Oliver rapping about the problem of obesity and malnourishment before other stars such as Aleesha Dixon and Jamie Cullum join in.

He said: "We're currently facing a global obesity epidemic, with 42 million children under the age of five either overweight or obese across the world.

"The bottom line is the next generation will live shorter lives than their parents if nothing is done to rectify these alarming stats.

"It's essential that we arm future generations with the life skills they urgently need in order to lead healthier, happier, more productive lives. I passionately believe this is every child's human right and I hope you agree."
