Jamie Oliver’s been very busy over the past decade, especially the latter half, what with trying to make the world a more delicious and less obese place. He’s gone from charming to too-big-for-his-britches, many have argued, but such is the unavoidable fate of a celebrity chef/revolutionary. He’s just been awarded this year’s TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) Prize for his good food works and activism. Along with a big chunk of change, Jamie (and 2 other TED prize recipients) will get to realize “one wish to change the world” which will be revealed at the TED 2010 conference in February.  Whatever your take on the Naked Chef (as he will always be to me), it’s not a bad thing that food and health are in the forefront of wish-making.
