Jamie Oliver  |
| |
| Jamie Oliver was reported here as being in tears because the people of Huntingdon West Virginia and more widely the US were not impressed with his healthy eating message. There is a school of thought here in the UK that is not impressed with his overbearing influence on our school meals, but I think his healthy eating message is helpful because it informs my menus and meal planning. My son at 30 is too old for school meals though perhaps that's why I'm not too bothered about school meals. When I was young school dinners were centrally planned and had to be balanced so we had horrors like sago and rice pudding, not to mention lumpy mashed potato and boiled fish!! Not now kids have beans, chips, pizzas. What do you think? Is Jamie right to tell our government what to put in school meals (which he is doing in the UK) or, as in the US to make TV programmes about healthy eating and in Huntingdon reduce one mother to tears apparently. | | | | | |

| | Do you have a news link to look at? I googled his name and just found his website. But nothing showing what he is doing with government/school meal programs. | | | | | | |

| | He did the same sort of thing here too - he went to Rotherham near me. But he's still advising our government! | | | |

| | I didn't but it was served up on Fridays at school with mash followed by lumpy sago! The info on healthy eating is good kids here too tend to be overweight, but Jamie is trying to force us and is advising our Government on this who are making our dinner ladies comply. | | | |

| | You know I think not. He's all over our TV and the tabloids here. Some mums are protesting too so they're all over local and national tabloids too. It's ok if you aren't in UK or now US but he is a pain if you live there. | | | |

| | Honestly, with the country all up in arms about the onset of obesity in our youth, you would think more people would be wanting them to serve healthy food in the schools, but apparently not. I remember they published each Sunday what they were having in the schools and if we didn't like it, mom knew what days she'd need to make us lunches - we'd even have to tell her what we wanted our sandwiches to be. And we were expected to get our milk from the cafeteria. By middle school we learned there was barely any point in getting the lunch because the lines were too long unless you had the first lunch (I never did), but they had a "quick" line for drinks and chips if we had the money. I too remember some pretty bad meals, but on the whole, at least half were pretty good, no pizzas or mac & cheese for us! | | | | | | |

| | Well there were free meals when I was little, bus fares too but then as now they are means tested so only a few people qualify | | | |
