By now, I hope you know America was founded by a revolution against the British. In a modern day twist so to speak, we have a English chef who wants to kickstart a revolution in america

Now that's a revolution I would love to see. As I wrote here about what school lunches teach our children, I think it's very good to have a celebrity spokesperson taking the lead. While I sometimes have a problem with celebrity chefs, and food as fashion, Jamie Oliver is taking a giant leap here as advocate. I have the utmost respect for that. And for this;

The series is loosely based on Jamie Oliver's U.K. series, "Jamie's Ministry of Food" and "Jamie's School Dinners," which saw his successful grass-roots efforts improve the school lunches in communities there. For the latter show, it resulted in a total overhaul of the school dinner program in the U.K. In America, he's turning his attention to helping people of all ages eat more balanced meals and cook with fresh ingredients, not only at schools, but also homes, workplaces and even restaurants.

And this;

I believe that every child in America has the right to fresh, nutritious school meals, and that every family deserves real, honest, wholesome food. Too many people are being affected by what they eat. It's time for a national revolution. America needs to stand up for better food!



You live in an amazing country full of inspirational people and you have the power to change things. With your help, we can get better food into homes, schools and communities all over America and give your kids a better future.



I can't add anything more to this wonderful story. The Magic Hat here is a Chef's toque. All I can do is encourage you to join the revolution here. I did because I believe our children are worth it.
