Why doesn't he make a program about the difference between process food and doing the same food using pure ingredients food. It would be more of a shocking tactic to show children what they see on outside isn't what they see on the inside. Going back when Jamie showed the children how processed chicken nuggets are made of. It really shocked me and i am almost 30. You can still eat the same food but in a healtheir way. Grill not Fry, more oven baked not microwaved. So what if it cost money better than costings ones health.

At my school, (small prep) we all eat a sit down 2 course lunch together that is prepared in our own kitchens. All our food is good quality, well balanced and freshly made. We do have fish fingers and chips twice per month but we have to have vegetables or salad with it. We also have a roast every week and a great variety of delicious food every day of the week. We don't have much of an issue with food as there is no other option (apart from vegetarian or other dietary needs) so no peer pressure or mums undermining the school. It is all about attitude to food - we all enjoy a really good meal together, we talk to the kitchen staff who take pride in what they are doing, and we appreciate the effort that is put into the meal. You might think it is easier in a primary school but coaxing a 4 year old to eat some things is not easy! We just persevere and don't give in - we reward every time they try and gradually they build up to eating just about everything that is on offer. No-one is forced to eat everything but everyone is expected to keep trying. It's just not that hard if everyone knows what the expectations and limits are!

It would definitely be a good eye opener, not only to the children and the parents but to all of society!
I saw that programme as well and it was disgusting what goes into chicken nuggets! Also there was something about crisps, eating a packet of crisps a day for a month is like drinking a bottle of cooking oil, I think it was a month roughly!
I think it would also turn around the opinion of alot of parents out there that are on the defensive attack to realise he is only trying to help.........there children!

I completely agree! I think it would be an eye-opener for all of us to see what goes into processed foods. Did you see the documentary film 'Supersize Me' about McDonalds? I think that Jamie has 'bitten off' a hell of a lot doing what he has done for schools, even if it helped a small percentage. It's obviously shocked a lot of parents because I noticed on the news today that he's being slated for the drop in school dinner sales! Well, if schools still aren't getting the message and are cooking up a lot of rubbish, then it's time parents did take things into their own hands! I just hope they're not packing up pasties, crisps and kitkats for their kids to take to school

Jamie has a minimum of made the individuals of the united kingdom take a seat up and take be conscious. maximum folk does no longer have weight problems issues or anti social issues if their diets have been healthful!! extra healthy nutrition leads to extra healthy minds, its a properly ordinary certainty! So people who nevertheless think of he's a wanker, are people who're wankers themselves, as they are going to be having significant well-being issues later on, and could extra effective than possibly want that they had taken some be responsive to his words! he's a chef, and to be truthful the stuff they call college dinners, is a disgusting excuse for nutrition! actually 0 dietary fee and subsequently i might think of maximum folk with a minimum of 0.5 a ideas will recognize that he has executed wonders, introducing extra healthy food! that's uncomplicated sense fairly, and that's superb that the nutrition plan at colleges is so appalling!

It,s a crying shame that kids eat such unhealthy foods, parents must be to blame. Jamie Olivers attempt to change their eating habits has backfired but good of him to give it a go. A good idea to show processed food being made, the kids need to be shocked to take notice of what they are eating.

i used to be a cook in school kitchens..the problem is there is not enough money to pay cooks the extra hours needed to prepare these healthy meals.councils will not pay..also kids turn their noses up at healthier food. the problem needs to be tackled in the home..kids will eat what they are used to.
