Jamie Oliver was yesterday awarded the 2010 TED Prize for his role in addressing unhealthy diets and reducing British waistlines.
The $100,000 (£60,000) purse that comes with the award will be used to enact a wish that will be unveiled by the Naked Chef on February 10 at the 2010 TED conference in California. The TED community of scientists, designers and other creative people will be invited to support the effort.
"We're thrilled to award the TED Prize to Jamie Oliver,” said TED curator Chris Anderson (a different Chris Anderson from American Wired's editor-in-chief of the same name). “His work directly tackles one of the most distressing issues the world faces ... the obesity epidemic.”
