I watched this show and i knew the lunches were bad, but not as bad as what it really is. I am glad i have taught my kids the meaning of good nutrition from an early age. We don't do processed more than we can help it.
Thank you so much for your comment on my blog :)

the full season is available on youtube. what is interesting is to see the differences in trust and acceptance between jaime's efforts in the UK and his later attempts in the USA.

I never did watch the whole thing. Let me guess, it flunked in the US? Thanks for the comment again on my blog, i will have to try bitters!!

I watched this! it was so sad to see the way American children have been brought up to see their food! I grew up in SIngapore where food is practically our language and I love REAL food. it's lovely seeing Jamie Oliver trying to help these kids (though well, obviously he's not been very well-received). ><
