TV Worth Watching

Have ya'll seen the new ABC show Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution?  It is all about trying to education Amricans about the food they eat and how it is impacting our health.  This message is on his website:

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!



You live in an amazing country full of inspirational people and you have the power to change things. With your help, we can get better food into homes, schools and communities all over America and give your kids a better future.


He visits the American city that the CDC has deemed the unhealthiest in America (Huntington, WV) and I am sure that there is some creative editing involved, but I was blown away by how ignorant and resistant to his efforts some of the people featured on the first couple of shows have been.  Perhaps I'm biased; I love Jamie Oliver anyway, but it's made me sad to watch some of the attitudes he's been up against.  It's also sad that someone from another country has been the one to take up this cause...but I'm sure glad someone is doing it!  Check out this show...it airs on Friday nights at 9/8c on ABC.
