I watched it and I must say I'm addicted.
Not only is Jamie a total cutie, but the subject matter and the way it shows how kids are being practically forced processed food and the lack of education they have about what is good food is seriously eye-opening.

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

Saw both episodes. JO's a bit emotional and a little strange, but he does seem to be getting through a bit more this week. Wasn't until the teachers started helping him that he started to make any progress with the kids, which shows that you have to get the adults to teach and lead by example. Of course, they didn't really help him until he was almost out of the initially allotted time.
The cooks at the school are hardworking and decent people, but when Alice asked Jamie for documentation on kids using cutlery I just rolled my eyes. She's just reaching at this point for an excuse not to work a bit harder.

Oy, those women "chefs" he's up against are real pills!
wow, has he taken on a task. He's got the whole city against him except for the religious leader. Even though he cried, I give him credit for what he's trying to do.
The people in the town seem so ignorant. It's almost like fiction.
I've been a fan of cute Jamie for years!

i think he's going to have a harder time with the high school students. elementary school students, for the most part, will listen to authority figures for something as simple as a sticker. i remember in high school when they cut the ammount of french fries each student could receive in half to try to make the lunches healthier... kids would take two and pour one plate of french fries into another plate. although i dont think something like that would slip by mr. oliver.

A high school in Wisconsin started a new school breakfast and lunch program. No cameras, just a nutritionist with a simple idea. Worked out just fine.

I remembe that he used to have a show on the Food Network called "The Naked Chef." I believe it was filmed in the UK, and he was just as "animated." He was also on Oprah Friday afternoon as well as other shows promoting the show. I have to admit, that while watching the show I cooked me up some of those healthy, crispy chicken tenders w/lemon zest/herbs/EVOO that he demonstrated on Oprah. It was outstanding, easy and yummy ! I do think, however, that the show kinda deliberately portrayed those townspeople as stupider and more ignorant just for addt'l "drama". That being said, you really can't argue w/people who think children using a fork and knife is ridiculous. Well, they signed a contract to be on the show, unfortunately ill-educated and all.....
I loved the part where Jamie taught the chubby kid how to cook. Weepy!

LOVE this show!
Eye-opening for many, yes, but not for me. Go watch the documentary FOOD, INC.

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

did anyone else almost have a heart attack when the little boy was holding half an orange in his fist and stabbed it with a knife, just narrowly missing his fingers?

Abba, I absolutely did. I wanted to reach into the TV, hold his little hands with the utensils, and show him how to use a knife and fork.
I'm what's considered a crazy food person. I buy most everything from the farmer's market and a local raw food place. I try to eat only organic (but specifically grass-fed and pasture-raised) beef and chicken, and make sure that the word "organic" doesn't just mean "organic corn fed cows", because last I checked, cows were meant to eat grass.
I'm lucky I can eat this way, but I acknowledge it takes a bit more effort to shop, chop, and cook, but the health benefits are great. And who'd have thunk that I'd snack on roasted carrots?

I never really liked Jamie Oliver. He's cute, and the recipies are usually pretty good, but I always found the Naked Chef show to be false advertsiment. He could have at least been clad only in an apron or something. A fully clothed chef was not what I initally tuned in for.

Posted: 3/28/10 at 7:14am
Ah, well, for a great many of us, that word isn't as tremendously awful as it is to a great many of you. Even people who like him a great deal will often use that descriptor. XD He really irritates some people, but he's not as loathed as I've just realised I made him sound. :3

I used to tutor kids who were pretty hopped up (or down) on Ritalin all the time, that is, when they weren't acting like hyper, annoying brats.

The sad thing in this country (and maybe the whole world) is that everyone has to be veeeeeeeery careful and tippy toe around the parents because God forbid someone tells them that they're doing something wrong raising their children. That's the one area for some reason that everyone is a professional in and doesn't need and sort of advice, whatsoever.
Oh, and that Alice lunch lady is getting on my last fvcking nerve. And yes, Alice. That's what you are. A lunch lady. You're not an "executive adolescent chef" or whatever name you want to give yourself. You throw nuggets into grease and slop "potato pearls" onto a tray. You're a lunch lady. Accept it, bitch.
