I just heard about a new reality show that will air on ABC called Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution, which will premiere on Friday, March 26th at 8/7c, and make sure to watch the special sneak peak tomorrow, March 21st at 10/9c. After reading about it and watching the trailer I am excited that this show will open more eyes about how unhealthy we eat in America.
The show will follow Oliver as he travels to Huntington, WV, which was labeled "the unhealthiest city in America" by the Associated Press in 2008, to start a new initiative that utilizes local resources to improving eating habits. He is inviting viewers to take a stand and change the way America eats, in our home kitchens, schools, and workplaces.
Jamie Oliver, also known as the Naked Chef, is an English chef and media personality and has a growing list of food-focused television shows. In his more recent roles he has been campaigning against the use of processed foods in national schools, and to change unhealthy diets and poor cooking habits for the better across the United Kingdom, and now he is taking on the US. Food Revolution is loosely based off of his show in the UK, Jamie's School Dinners, which had such an impact that the UK government changed the type of foods served in the schools.
I hope everyone watches the premiere episode and is able to take something away from it to make a change in your own eating habits. Leave me a comment and let me know what you think about the show, if anything shocked you, or just something you found interesting.
Ahhh can't wait to watch! I hate that now when I eat, I think of your blog! :(
