My new health hero and his FOOD REVOLUTION !!!

This past Friday night I stayed in all night and relaxed due to a 6a.m. train the following morning to NYC.  I  finally got to check out Chef Jamie Olivers show called Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution.

This show is great, and it really is to bad that its on friday nights at 8p.m.  This show needs to be on at a prime time so that everyone can see what is going on in the world of food.  The show focuses on children and school lunches in West Virginia.  West Virginia is one of the most obese and unhealthy areas in the nation.  The children were fed pizza, hamburgers, fried chicken, french fries, flavored milk, and lots more crap on a daily basis. The sad thing is, this is not only a West Virginia issue… children are fed that at schools across the entire country.  With one school Jamie was able to show that for not much more money school systems could buy fresh local produce, and higher quality meats and still feed the students.  When the healthy food was prepared for the children, the school gave them an option, and the children actually wanted the healthier options. Jamie made his way in to the community and opened up a walk in kitchen ( almost like a free walk in clinic) to show individuals for free how to start cooking and how easy and fun it can be.  In order to spread this kind of healthy lifestyle to all schools across the country we need to help Jamie and SIGN HIS PETITION. If you don’t want to get involved with this I highly suggest packing your kids healthy school lunches, because they are not getting the nutrition they need, or deserve in the school lunch line

I love the show glee and when Jamie did a flash mob dance with a large crew from Marshall college on teaching how easy it is to cook up some stir fry I was sooo happy.
