BLOG UPDATE:

You've waited patiently, and the videos are in.

Hours after Jamie Oliver wrapped his latest reality TV show in West Virginia, the celebrity chef stopped by for talk at Toronto's Roy Thompson Hall and promote his new book, Jamie's Food Revolution: Rediscover How to Cook Simple, Delicious, Affordable Meals,

Before he spoke to the sold-out crowd, Oliver stopped by the CBC and met with the Your Voice team.

While there wasn't time to answer all of your questions, Jamie had a chance to answer the following:

RumRunner from cbcnews.ca asks: My question is this, your endeavors with regards to the Ministry of Food looked like a real uphill battle in attempting to get the masses excited, educated and able to afford a decent home cooked meal. With that in mind, do you think a grass roots effort could make a measurable difference in peoples eating habits?

Jamie responds - watch video

@ERMSquirrel from Twitter asks: how can you eat healthy when you live in area where nothing is fresh and there's no variety and expensive? Northern Canada.

Jamie responds -watch video

@MeepM33p and @mattyouens asked similar questions so we combined them:  Which foods are worth the extra $$ spent and which ones can I skip on

solariee from cbcnews.ca asks: Do you believe that cost really is a barrier to cooking healthier, or could it be the lack of knowledge or desire to learn how to prepare healthier foods?

@mcourcel How does one know if they're eating a balanced diet in the first place?

Facebook questions:

Alexandra White asks: What are you  top three list of dishes that balance the trifecta of budget, fat/nutritional content and time. I have not found many recipes that can satisfy me on all levels?

Stephen Davidson asks: I have a question for Jamie: For me eating vegetarian all or part of the time is the best way to eat healthy on a budget. Can you share some tasty veggie recipes?

Sheila Mortell Hellier asks: How to make veggies more palatable to teens

Nicole Malette asks: No one knows a tighter budget than a university student... AND it seems like some of us are the LEAST knowledgeable when it comes to managing a healthy diet on a budget. Keeping in mind that the majority of our culinary skills stretch only so far as frying an egg or boiling some Kraft Dinner, can you suggest some EASY student savvy strategies/dishes?
