Your kids are eating themselves to death

Last night I got the privilege to watch a TV show featuring a famous British chef. His name is Jamie Oliver.

The show is called Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution and it was amazing. I was hooked!! The premise is that Jamie is trying to change the way that American's, more specifically American kids, eat. So he started in the town of Huntington, West Virginia.

Why there?

Huntington has the highest mortality rate, the highest rate of obesity and the highest childhood obesity rates. So last night I watched the first episode and it was amazing.

• It was AMAZING how RESISTANT people are to changing the way they eat.
  
• It was AMAZING that kids in the elementary school were eating pizza for breakfast, chicken nuggets for lunch and the chicken nuggets again for dinner!!
• It was AMAZING how the school cooks did not want to change the way they made things.
• It was AMAZING how the USDA food nutritional standards were met by day old frozen pizza, but not by brown rice!!!
• It was AMAZING how the family whose house he invaded were eating golden fried food every night for dinner.

So what I want you guys to do either tonight or tomorrow night is to watch this first episode of Jame Oliver's Food Revolution on your computer, preferably with your kids. (Click on the link to go to the video.)

Yes, that's right...I want you to WATCH TV!!! You need to see what the government thinks is healthy food!! I'm not trying to bad mouth the government, but when you watch this video, you too will instantly think, "WE CAN DO BETTER THAN THIS!!"

Have a Hugely HEALTHY day!!
