Give the guy some credit! jamie Oliver goes into hostile territory to separate people from their unhealthy fatty foods. Good luck with that! He cries when he is admonished by the town folks for attempting such a thing!

Hah! I'm watching it on hulu at this very minute!
I respect the guy. His show is a bit cheesy, but I really like what he's doing.
$#@! him and his condescending bull$#@!. Leave people the $#@! alone already.
I made a thread a few weeks back about how he took a few jabs at the government for making completely nonsensical regulations regarding food fed to kids. I enjoy the show, but need to catch up.

Because Brits are such healthy eaters...
education and conversing is fine, but usually I find people like this believe that "well, since people won't listen, we need to have additional labels, health programs, fitness programs, diet programs, mandatory weigh-in's, etc" ie: statism at its finest.
ultimately we'll never solve the health problems with the current broken system, as it has no price mechanisms.

I watched the first episode.
I had no idea food was so awful in schools. So I figure, maybe its just a bad area. So I go talk to my coworker and ask what kinds of foods they have at where her kids go to school. She basically described the same crap that was in the show, and she thought nothing of it. It is crazy how people don't realize how crap the food they eat is.
Anyway, it is an interesting show. I hope he gets through to the people.
There's nothing condescending about what he's doing. What's condescending is the USDA guidelines for the "food" children are eating in public schools. It's absolute crap and it's literally killing people.
"No matter how noble you try to make it, your good intentions will not compensate for the mistakes that people make; that want to run
our lives and run the economy, and reject the principles of private property and making up our own decisions for ourselves." -Ron Paul
So far he has attacked the USDA, FDA, and Big AG- as well as called for more local control for schools.
But, Hey... He is an educated person asking people to eat healthier, I guess that makes him wanna dem dare librals and we hates us them thar liberals.
"Gentlemen, I have had men watching you for a long time and I am convinced that you have used the funds of the bank to speculate in the breadstuffs of the country. When you won, you divided the profits amongst you, and when you lost, you charged it to the bank...You are a den of vipers and thieves. I intend to rout you out, and by the grace of the Eternal God, will rout you out."- Andrew Jackson (The Guy on the 20)

if modern agriculture continues to follow the path it's on now, it's finished. The food-growing situation may seem to be in good shape today, but that's just an illusion based on the current availability of petroleum fuels. All the wheat, corn, and other crops that are produced on big American farms may be alive and growing, but they're not products of real nature or real agriculture. They're manufactured rather than grown. The earth isn't producing those things.. petroleum is! -Masanobu Fukuoka
