Forget Biggest Loser. Forget any other tv show. If you could watch any show, please choose this show. Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution is appalling, heartbreaking and fascinating all at the same time. Jamie Oliver took on the UK school system's processed foods and now in the US he is doing much of the same. He is also trying to change the whole community's way of eating. The show takes place in Huntington, West Virginia, statistically one of the unhealthiest cities in the country.
The show is on tonight! It is on episode four. To give you an idea of this show, the first week he walked into a classroom of I would say first or second graders. He would hold up fresh vegetables and the kids had no idea what any of them were. I mean I am not saying I knew what a yucca was but these kids had no idea what a tomato was. Also, what they feed these kids in the cafeteria is appalling. No wonder kids today have a lower expected lifespan than their parents.
The show has really struck a nerve with me in many ways especially now that I have a daughter. If you are free some Friday night and not doing anything, please take a look.
