His wish for this prize is “… for your help to create a strong, sustainable movement to educate every child about food, inspire families to cook again and empower people everywhere to fight obesity.”

Here is a link to the video of his acceptance speech, where he speaks eloquently about the damage that obesity is doing to our youth and to the crucial importance of transforming school food environments. There is even a great visual about sugar-laden milk in schools.
