food revolution with the naked chef

I don't know if you guys know very much about Jamie Oliver, but he is a great British Chef, who is also known as The Naked Chef, due to the simplicity of his recipes. Not only is he talented, he is extremely charitable. One of the many things he's gotten passionate about is the school system providing better meals for students in Britain. He started this movement in 2004, and caught the attention of the Britain government. Now he is trying to create the same movement here in the US, starting in Huntington, West Virginia (apparently, it's the most unhealthy city in America). It is truly amazing when you're watching the show, Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution, to see what is wasted, and to see what kids are getting for lunch, and in some cases breakfast too. (Y'all they served the kids pizza for breakfast one day! Seriously?!) I know this seems like a random post, but I really enjoyed the show and wanted to share with you all. It comes on ABC on Friday nights (7/8); I recorded it... just sayin'! If you want to get this to the White House, then sign this petition that you're supporting the Food Revolution here. And, a thought to leave you with, I'll be packing my kids lunch till he/she is 18 years old!
