Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution

This show is pretty awesome. I've watched Jamie Oliver's shows on the Food Network a few times because I think they're shot really beautifully (his show and the Barefoot Contessa are styled and shot impeccably) and he seems like a normal dude.

Jamie Oliver and family. Forget about the baby. That sweater is so mathy and cool.

The premise of the show is that Jamie goes to America's unhealthiest city and attempts to change the way the population thinks about food and nutrition. The food part of the show, honestly, doesn't really interest me. I suppose I initially watched this because I was interested in the normal melodramatic angry confrontations I love in Kitchen Nightmares.

Gordon Ramsay yelling at a dude for not being as good as him.

But this dude seems to actually care about people, and that is refreshing. It could all be an act. It's hard to tell when people are doing the right thing for the right reasons or because it sells whatever product they're pushing. But I'd like to think that Jamie Oliver could be in it to win it for the benefit of the little kids and adults who this program might ultimately influence. And that's something that should be praised and supported.

It's worth watching and you should check it out if you've got a chance. Link below takes you through time and space at warp speed to Hulu, where you can watch episodes for free if you're willing to watch 3 minutes of Yaz commercials (which are pretty fucking funny).
