Please, please set aside some time and watch this all the way thru.
It runs 43 minutes all together...honestly will "lift the veil from your eyes".
Most amazing guy I've ever seen....man on a mission. An eye opener, a revelation...yes there is some shock value BUT it's all explained and exposed with truth and facts.
My wife and I happened to catch him at one of his imprompto presentations a while ago. Him and his pet cow! Jamie won a 2010 TED award from the Brittish for making an impact on Childrens Obesity thru education programs.
With the multi million dollar grant award he "Set up an organization to create a popular movement that will inspire people to change the way they eat. The movement will do this by establishing a network of community kitchens; launching a travelling food theater that will teach kids practical food and cooking skills in an entertaining way and provide basic training for parents and professionals; and bringing millions of people together through an online community to drive the fight against obesity. The grassroots movement must also challenge corporate America to support meaningful programs that will change the culture of junk food."
Knowledge and truth is sometimes like a big pill...hard to take but good for you.
Jamie was officially BANNED from Los Angeles School District property because he got the parents of children to THINK about what the schools are feeding their kids.
So he took to the streets of Los Angeles, the Malls and Parking Lots, the Television Shows and Radio. Man with a mission.
And what we adults and children are eating and buying from grocery stores amd fast food restaurants. The more you know, the better you'll feel.
Most interesting food facts and simple explaination on what we eat (and don't know about) that I've actually seen.
And pass it on.

We watched his series when he was in WV and then in LA. It made me long for our little farm. Grass fed beef, grew chickens and turkeys, canned our food from a little old couple who would pick us grocery bags (paper/not plastic) full of fresh produce. Pick your own strawberries, peach orchards. HMMM, now I'm hungry.

I wish him well as obesity is becoming a 'huge' problem. Denial is a powerful force.

I enjoyed his show but was suprised to see his cookbook rated as one of the most unhealthy out there.
I still applaud his efforts to wake us up!

In my opinion, way too much is being made over "artificial vs Natural", "organic", "no synthetic ingredients" etc, etc, etc. Organically raised vegetables are usually fertilized with animal waste, anyone care to take out the middleman (the vegetable) and eat the fertilizer, either natural or unnatural? Our food supply is safer than anytime in history. When was the last time a town or village had all the occupants die of food poisoning? Sure there are foods packed with sugar and salt and the like and they shouldn't be a steady diet for anyone, but I think television and the internet have way overblown the dangers food presents. Getting kids and adults off their buttocks and out from in front of the computer and television and into activities that exercise the body would go a lot further to curing our obesity problem than trying to ban toys in Happy Meals ever will.

One of the reasons we buy as much organic and minimally processed food as possible. Did you even see what goes into a chicken nugget? Or how "meat product" is made. I have a hard time eating any type of patty at a restaurant.

You got that right. You can't eat your way to fitness as so many of the diet commercials imply.

Hooray for Jamie Oliver. He has got the ball rolling and with the support he IS getting on the internet I am hopeful that some changes will be made in our schools.

Don't get me going on this 'organic' hooey. Just means all the bugs and diseases haven't been killed. It is nothing more than a huge marketing scam to separate the gullible from their money. Without fertilizers and pesticides there would be a lot less food available.
My stepson's mil raises lambs for market, they get their fertilized food and supplements the normal way. She then sends them to the recycled hippies on the Gulf islands for fattening, they come back as Saltspring Island official genuine organic for a fat profit. She is laughing all the way to the bank.
Back to topic, Jamie is a hoot to watch and comes up with some good ideas but does get carried away at times.
