Did you see the show? Did you see him on Oprah? Jamie Oliver the Food Network chef from the UK has hit a nerve and I LOVE it! He hit the unhealthiest city in the U.S. and his goal: to transform the way the entire town views food. Going into homes, churches and opening a kitchen in the center of town to hold classes, he is serious about teaching the truth about what should be going into our bodies.
He even tackles the almighty school lunch with all its government "guidelines". Personally, what always amazes me as a mom is when I see employees in my daughters' schools wearing uniforms that say "school nutrition team" and they're obese. Seriously? Perhaps we really are stupid. Some took offense with Jamie when he referred to our ignorance. They didn't appreciate him being so blunt and felt perhaps he was being a little high and mighty with his UK advice to us overweight, unhealthy Americans. Too bad America! We're dying of heart disease and cancer. Can't figure out what's killing us and our kids are getting diabetes sooner and fatter faster. Read the facts and Wake up! You don't think we've been just a bit stupid in our choices? BRING IT ON JAMIE! I'm with you 100%.

I dvr'd and watched this afternoon! I thought it was GREAT! The problem with America? We have too many drugs that bandage the "pain" and so... we take the easy way out of the diabetes, etc. If there weren't any drugs (wow, wouldn't that be GREAT) more people would be doing something about their illnesses! :) Just my opinion of course!
Amen Jen!!! :) We are watching and I think it is a brilliant show. I hope this catches on with the rest of America.
