Anyone is invited to host a Food Revolution Day activity &#8212; Oliver recommends organizing a potluck dinner, leading a farmers market tour, planting a community garden or throwing a street party. There\u2019s a <a href=\"http:\/\/foodrevolutionday.com\/downloads\">downloadable activity guide<\/a> for those interested in hosting an event, and a <a href=\"http:\/\/activities.foodrevolutionday.com\/search\">search engine<\/a> for those interested in joining one in their area. Anyone is also welcome to get involved by <a href=\"http:\/\/foodrevolutionday.com\/recipes-index\">sharing a treasured recipe<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Why Food Revolution Day? Because Oliver has been on a many-year mission to change the way people relate to food. As he explains on the holiday\u2019s website, \u201cCooking skills used to be passed down from generation to generation, but now millions of people lack even the most basic cooking skills. We need to get back to basics: to cook and eat fresh local produce; to share cooking skills and food knowledge; to join forces within communities and get as many people involved as possible.\u00a0Food Revolution Day\u00a0is our opportunity to get the world to focus on the importance of good food and essential cooking skills.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In an unexpected TED Prize synergy, Oliver has teamed up with fellow prize-winner JR, who launched the <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.ted.com\/tag\/jr\/\">global art initiative Inside Out<\/a>, to get the word out about Food Revolution Day. Oliver visited JR\u2019s studio and shared a snapshot of himself holding his portrait on Instagram. He also posted an image of <a href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/p\/YnwEBAK20M\/\">JR pasting the poster<\/a> in Times Square, along with <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.ted.com\/2013\/04\/26\/turning-new-york-city-inside-out-volunteering-at-jrs-photo-truck\/\">thousands of other portraits<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMe laid out!!
