Food Revolution show
Hi All,
I've been watching the new television show "Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution" on ABC. I love it. I posted about it on my OH blog but I really wanted to post about it here too so I could share it with all of you.
If you haven'****ched it, check it out. The premise of the show is that Jamie Oliver, a chef, went into a town (Huntington, West Virginia) and promoted healthy meals for kids in the elementary school. They were eating pizza for breakfast!! He also worked with a family that ate nothing but processed foods, were all very overweight including a 12-year old boy that was over 300 pounds and a future diabetic.
I'm going to re-post here what I did on my OH Blog:
I have been watching Jaime Oliver's new show "Food Revolution." It is fantastic. If you need a shot of motivation, watch it. In one episode, he shows what they make chicken nuggets out of. Disclaimer - if you want to continue eating processed chicken nuggets, do no****ch this show. After watching it, I won't be eating chicken nuggets probably ever (not that I did but now I definitely won't)!!
I am glad that this show is airing. It promotes healthy eating for our kids. He goes to an elementary school in West Virginia and introduces healthy, fresh foods for school meals. Jaime went around a classroom holding up fresh vegetables and the kids couldn't identify them! It is an excellent show.
One of my sons eats healthy but the other one prefers to live on peanut butter & jelly, pizza and scrambled eggs. He won't eat vegetables without a major hassle. I have taped the show but also found it on the Internet so we will be watching it as a family, including my younger son.
Our school district focuses on "healthy lunches" for kids. I look at the menu and it isn't my definition of healthy. Plus, the cooking and preparation are lousy. I've went to school to eat lunch with my sons and the vegetables were mush, plastic-looking/tasting with strange aftertastes and many of the items weren't very tasty. I applaud this show because if our kids grow up with healthy eating habits, hopefully they won't struggle growing up with the medical, physical and emotional damage of being obese or morbidly obese.
I have to admit that as I watch the show it gives me additional motivation to stay on track and continue my own healthy lifestyle habits.
I didn't post the link on my OH blog but here it is below. This is for the second episode so if you want to watch it from the beginning, all four episodes are there.

I have signed the petition and have made some changes inthe way I feed my children because of this show and because of my support group. Kudos to Jamie Oliver and thank you too! He has left his family behind for such a worthy mission and I hope he gets all the support he needs and deserves!
