Food Revolution

I missed the first half of the episode that aired tonight. I'm sure I can find it online tomorrow, though. However, I have to say that I am still 100% on board for overhauling the atrocity that is our nations public school food. I remember the crap served in the cafeterias when I was young. Blech. I refused to eat it and can only imagine how nasty it is now. As stated in a previous post - there's no way on earth I'll let my kids eat crap food like the current stuff served in our schools. If Jamie's Food Revolution takes hold and the food is vastly improved and far healthier then I'll reconsider. For now though, my girls will be taking their lunches, thanks very much.

I am getting this post in just before midnight. I'm glad I didn't fall asleep without doing it. March is nearly over and I haven't missed posting here yet. I'd rather not muck it up this close to the end.

I watched Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution with my husband tonight. I was absolutely disgusted to learn that chicken nuggets are made with all the trash parts of the chicken: skin, bones, connective tissue, giblets. YUCK! Thank God we don't feed that crap to our kids. It makes me all the more certain that I will continue packing lunches for my kids rather than having them eat the lunchroom crap. I feel sorry for the kids who are eating that processed junk. How is it that our schools are even allowed to serve such nasty, nutritionless garbage to our kids? Would you like to see the food in our schools improved? Sign the petition, get involved and let's all be a part of The Food Revolution!

Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution

This show starts in about ten minutes here and I am really excited to see it. I am conscientious about the way I feed my family - especially my daughters. However, I know that there is room for improvement and I am hoping to learn some cool stuff from this show. Plus, I just think it's extremely admirable that Jamie Oliver is trying to raise awareness and make the world a healthier place for everyone but again, especially the children. I'll come back and write my thoughts on the show after I've seen it.
