Jamie's Food Revolution

So, season 2 of Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution begins tonight.  This show should really make one stand up and take notice of what is going on in our schools and with our food.  Season 1 followed Jamie as he attempts to make school breakfast and lunch healthier in Huntington, West VA.  He is met with resistance from the school and community time and time again as he tries to get rid of a really deplorable menu of processed and canned foods. 

Honestly, it looks like these kids are living on pizza, chocolate milk, and chicken nuggets.  Not at all what a growing body and mind needs to strive and excel. 

As you watch the show, you can see where elements of sensationalism are used to up the "drama" of the show, but honestly, the show pretty much speaks for itself.  We, as a society, are eating ourselves to death.   I know these people care for their kids, but I think they need to be open to change and realize that pizza for breakfast ain't gonna cut it.
