Nutrition a ‘spiritual’ journey for chef Oliver

JAMIE Oliver has said that learning more about nutrition in recent years has made him “spiritual”.

The celebrity chef, food writer and restaurateur also said he will spend the next 12 years campaigning to improve the nation’s health to fight Britain’s childhood obesity crisis.

Oliver has taken the number one spot on a new list by magazine Balance, which celebrates 100 “inspiring” people deemed to have made the world “a better, brighter and more mindful place” through a variety of mediums.

He told the magazine: “The statistics are really frightening. One in three step into secondary school as obese. And 85% of those will be like that for the rest of their lives. You could easily go: ‘Oh I don’t give a f***’. But I do. It’s not because I am kind or clever but when you witness things, it changes you.” THE Prince of Wales said “Don’t believe all that c***” when radio presenters asked him about claims that he takes his own toilet seat with him when he goes abroad.

Charles was asked the question in an interview for Brisbane’s Hit105 station as he carried out an engagement in the city during a seven-day tour of Australia.

He replied: “My own what?”. And added: “Oh, don’t believe all that c**p.”

The rumour was published in a new biography, Rebel Prince: The Power, Passion And Defiance Of Prince Charles, by Tom Bower.

Clarence House said it would not be commenting on the radio station’s interview.
