Jamie Oliver, the chef who prodded the British government to overhaul the nation’s school lunch program, was awarded the $100,000 TED Prize on Wednesday at the annual TED conference, a series of lectures by experts from a wide range of fields including science, religion, and economics. The award is intended to allow prominent people to articulate “one wish to change the world.” “My wish is for everyone to help create a strong sustainable movement to educate every child about food,” he said, “to inspire families to cook again and to empower people everywhere to fight obesity.” In front of more than 1,500 people in Long Beach, California, and millions more who watched live over CNN.com, Mr. Oliver challenged his listeners to work with him.
