I love Jaime Oliver!!
Apr 09, 2010
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 not watch 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.
