Sorry about the lack of post Friday, but Fire Pit Frenzy had it's yearly inauguration that night and wine got in the way of blogging. It was needed as it had been a long week.
So "Food Revolution". Who is watching?
I watched the premiere episode last night and was highly intrigued and clearly able to sympathize with Jamie and with the people of Huntington. They have simply been doing what they have always done and are now being told it is wrong. Needless to say that would make most people defensive, however, what our kids are being fed in schools (and in many cases,what they are being fed at home) is wrong. All you need to do is to go sit in a mall or any other public place to see human proof of the issues we have with food in this country. Food is not used as fuel or for nourishment; we plan most things around food. We go to lunch with friends, we celebrate milestones with cake and often hors devours come out of a box in the frozen food section of the local grocery store. We don't look at food as something of nutrition, but more something to satisfy a craving or to fill some missing part of our lives.
But Jamie wants to change all of that and if given a chance, he will. I am anxious to see how things go for him in Huntington. If you missed last night's episode, it will re-air this Friday night before a new episode, so make sure you check it out. And if you have about 21 minutes, please take the time to watch this:

I'd watch, but I can't stand him. I think it's great that someone is saying "Wake Up America, you eat crap on a daily basis!" but I just can't hear it from him. I could hear it from any other food person, Paula Dean, Alton Brown, even that horrid shrew Rachel Ray...just ANYONE other than him.
ReplyDeleteWhy not him, what has he ever done to you :)
