Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution update, 14/05/10

following people is the American food
revolution update this week has been a
really busy week Michelle Obama has
released her kind of attack plan for the
obesity strategy and it kind of runs in
tandem with a whole bunch of other stuff
that’s happening but basically what good
is from a government level we’ve got the
nutritional standards being looked at
the food pyramid being look fat
certainly more focus on activity and
physical education you don’t have to be
a chef but basic cooking is still as
important this week as it was a month
ago and in the food revolution so for
that we need you we’ve got to do our bit
to support Michelle let me tell you some
of the really exciting things going on
in America some of them are sweet and
profound some of them are just down call
let’s start off with the kids in santa
cruz at these are young kids they’re
cooking their own lunch look at the
story below we’ve got a little video in
it it’s brilliant and epic and if every
school could do this it would it really
would change the world Chicago kids
teenagers have stood up filmed by the
local news to basically say how bad the
school food was how they want to get the
junk out fresh food in Rick from
