Teenagers in Britain forced to take cooking classes
The Agence France-Presse (Wednesday, January 23, 2008) reports that cooking lessons will be compulsory for English teenagers as part of a battle to cut spiralling levels of obesity, the government announced yesterday. Students aged 11 to 14 will have to attend the classes from September and will learn to cook eight healthy British favourites, including roast chicken and shepherd's pie. The move was welcomed by celebrity chef Jamie Oliver, who has campaigned for better food in schools over several years.
