Real Food: Jamie goes Stateside
March 29th, 2010Jamie Oliver is a machine….he is one mad food revolutionary. His results from food change programmes in the UK have been tested and shown to raise educational standards….intuitively we know this but it’s very affriming to have some research to back it up.
Now he is taking his personal brand of straight talking to the heart of America’s chronic food related problem, Huntington, West Virginia. This five county metropolitan area was designated as the unhealthiest city in the nation. Nearly half the adults in the area are obese with heart and diabetes problems running alongside.
It’s tough love all the way from the Essex Crusader who keeps giving us the harsh cold truth: crap in, crap out.
Maybe we need him down here in NZ….
