Dietitians React to Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution
By Sharon Palmer, RD
This year, British chef Jamie Oliver stormed the nation with his ABC TV show Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution. Oliver is taking on America’s obesity problem, honing in on Huntington, W.Va., dubbed throughout the show as “the unhealthiest city in America.” Following the success of his British TV programs that improved the quality of school lunches, Oliver hopes to bring the same sort of change to America. He started a petition (www.jamieoliver.com) to support his revolution that includes ideals such as American kids need better food at school, better health prospects, and to develop cooking skills.
