Any posters watching Jamie Olivers Food Revolution, Friday nights on ABC. I'm not a reality show devotee, but I got hooked on this show. Be prepared to be grossed out by what is being served to our nation's children at lunchtime.
Clip:
Which brings us to Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution (Ryan Seacrest of American Idol co-produces), a six-part TV series where he hopes to transform the way the good citizens of Huntington, W.Va., eat. It’s home to some of the unhealthiest and obese people in America, according to the U.S. Centres for Disease Control and Prevention. When Oliver asks school kids to name the vegetables he holds up, they are unable to name them. School breakfasts are processed pizzas and packaged cereal.

Clip:
I believe that every child in America has the right to fresh, nutritious school meals, and that every family deserves real, honest, wholesome food. Too many people are being affected by what they eat. It's time for a national revolution. America needs to stand up for better food!

I've never seen it but I'm going to watch it tonight. I think what he is doing is great and we definitely need to pay more attention to what we eat.

I watched tonight for the first time. I really admire what he is doing.

Something tells me that Alice is a very negative person in all aspects of her life.

I love what he's doing and I'm a big fan of the show. I basically eat food that he's trying to teach others to eat, non prosessed. That is why I cook which is a big factor. I hope America gets the signal he's sending!!!!!

I watch cooking shows and liked Jamie on The Naked Chef, He's cool.

I think what he's trying to do is fantastic, and it amazed me how hostile some (most) of those people were to him. And I agree with you Beretta, Alice looks like the kind of person who, no matter how good things are will find fault somewhere. I know people like this. They've done it all their life to the point where it's written all over their faces.
