“America, wake up!”
Have you seen Jaime Oliver’s Food Revolution?
I caught the first episode and was thoroughly intrigued, but I missed last weeks. It is on again tonight on ABC at 9/8 c.
The show is based upon the premise, according to Jaime, that America’s children are likely to live shorter lives than their parents because of the food they eat. Jaime, is a world-renowned chef and best-selling author and wants to inspire communities to take a stand and change the way they eat.

It takes more time, but in the end it is better for all of us. I am concerned, however, that it will cost more, but I think if I shop sales and really pay attention I should be able to pull it off. The hardest part will be cooking it without burning it. I’m more of a “heat up” mom than a “from scratch mom”.
