So, this past week I was watching a premiere of the show Jamie Oliver's Food revolution. I loved it!!
However, I was so mad at the people in the town who were so resistant
to the change that Oliver was trying to bring. Why were they so resistant to this change? Could it be because he is a foreigner? Bad food is yummy?
The premise of the show is Jamie Oliver will try to change school lunches as he did in Britain. The hope is that everyone will change their eating habits and become healthier and mindful of the toxins they eat.
For the life of me I did not understand why the school thought it was okay to feed the children cereal and pizza for breakfast? The chicken the school was feeding the children was made of 1000 ingredients.... I usually like my chicken made from.... I dunno um...CHICKEN!
The Irony of the whole episode is that we were unable to watch the whole show because the show was interrupted, because of the Healthcare Reform.
Healthcare Reform...would we need sucha thing if we feed our children better? Would we need this if the average American could afford to eat better? The healthy stuff does cost more--and that does differ people. Should we get the cheaper ground beef for less or the lean ground turkey for more? Hmm..
This I thought was Ironic... healthcare reform and school lunch reform. Don't get me wrong I don't blame the schools not at all, we as parents need to be mindful of our kids' eating habits and what we are putting in our kids' bodies. Oliver helped a mother and father understand that they were taking time off their children’s' lives. So sad...
This Friday a new episode came on and the town seems to be warming up to Oliver...I think it will work out. I hope!

Here is a simple recipe to make asparagus, which is on sale at WF right now.
Cut your asparagus and then cut a shallot (or onion or garlic which ever you like.)
Next melt butter in pan add onion (or shallot or garlic)
Cook for about a minute or two (till tender enough)
Add asparagus for about 3-4 minutes sprinkle with kosher salt and pepper. Toss again.
I like my asparagus still a little crunchy.
Yum.. My family and I are now asparagus junkies.
Enjoy! : )
I watched this week's episode of Jamie Oliver's show great..great...great. I think we all should be motivated for some change! This episode was a little sad but eye opening if you haven't watched-- you should.
