Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution will be on my To Watch List

Today I was watching television and happened to catch the sneak preview of Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution, which airs next week on ABC. I have to say, this definitely seems to be something worth watching, as it is full of alarming statistics about America’s food, especially as it pertains to the effects on American’s children. According to Jamie, “This is the first generation of kids expected to live a shorter life than their parents” and it is all because of what they are eating.

The segment kicked off with British based chef Jamie Oliver heading to the town of Huntington, West Virginia, which currently holds the title of the unhealthiest city in America.The sneak preview showed Jamie visiting a local elementary school, completely disgusted by the fact that a typical meal plan for the day includes pizza for breakfast and a lunch of chicken nuggets paired with a mashed potato surprise. The cooks in the kitchen are fierce older ladies, the head chef having a good twenty-one year’s experience in the school food industry, and are not exactly thrilled to have Jaime attempt to throw a coup in their kitchen.

Jamie sums up his mission for the show as: “I’m here to start the biggest food revolution this country’s ever seen.” If you care at all about your health, that line will build up enough intrigue to tune into the series premiere of Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution, Friday, March 26 8/7c on ABC.
