I was lucky to be able to attend the awards ceremony Tuesday evening, May 22 to witness Jamie Oliver accept the Healthy Cup Award from the Harvard School of Public Health. This award is given by The Nutrition Round Table for someone who has made a contribution to the field of nutrition. He was so excited to receive the award and said" I feel blessed, honored for this. If you knew my history in schools, this is a big deal. I came out of nothing. And to be at Harvard...I'd like to milk it."* Dr. Walter Willett, chair of the nutrition Department presented the award saying that Oliver has made a dramatic contribution to public health. He has changed the ways millions of people think about healthy eating."*
