Revolution!

I've been watching Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution lately. He's a cry-baby compared to Gordon Ramsay, but I think he's really onto something. Getting processed food out of the school system is incredibly important. Parents always tell their children that school is important, school is right. So, following that line of thought, then isn't the food that they serve in teh school cafeterias also alright? We're telling children that french fries are considered a vegetable, and that chocolate milk all the time is okay as long as you're drinking the milk. I was fortunate that at home, my mom cooked dinner every night so I knew that one could cook and the food can be good if not better. But what about the kids that don't have parents at home who cook? If they eat chicken nuggets at home and then have chicken nuggets at home, then they probably think that chicken nuggets is what they should be eating. Shouldn't school be where kids learn things that their parents can't teach them? Shouldn't schools not only teach us what a food pyramid is, but also put their teachings into practice? I love this show. Jamie's using reality television and turning it into a tool to fix what's wrong with our society.
