The Food Revolution – Jamie Oliver
I have been watching the new series called, The Food Revolution which is hosted by well known chef Jamie Oliver. He has gone into a city in West Virginia and is trying to change the way they think about and prepare foods. He has been really smart about it by hitting the media as well as beginning with the school systems which will make lasting changes for years to come.
As some of you may or may not know, I have struggled with my weight for my entire life. It wasn’t fun, but as a child it could be absolutely horrendous and now I watch one of my nephews beginning the struggle with the same exact issues. He is a good boy and he is fun, but he is struggling. Maybe Jamie Oliver will come to his school and help out, but if not, it is up to the rest of us to show kids the right way.
The show is on ABC on Friday nights at 8pm EST and I would suggest you watch it with your entire family. I think it will start some great discussions and there is nowhere better to start than in your own home.
