Revolting Food Revolution

If there's one thing more nauseating than Michelle Obama replacing candy with vegetables at the White House Easter Egg Roll, it's celebrity chef Jamie Oliver hectoring the residents of America's fattest city, Huntington, West Virginia, into eating better. Your eating habits, the Englishman who rose to prominence as "The Naked Chef" tells an obese parent in a typical scene, "are going to kill your children!"

Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution airs on ABC Friday evenings and can be found at ABC.com. Each episode is chock full, not simply of basic nutritional truisms (easy on the sweets, hurrah for fresh veggies) but the sort of Manichean bullying that attends contemporary discussions of food and fatness. "You gotta be afraid of me or come with me," Oliver tells a recalcitrant radio host.

The show brilliantly reveals the nanny mindset as only a pro-nanny show could, ignoring the range of safe choices people can make without privileging health above pleasure always.

This is sophomoric drivel. You should be frankly embarassed to be spouting such inanity in public. Have you even seen the program? Fools come off very poorly in it ... perhaps that's what offended you about it.

Come on, Nick. If you had seen the show, you would know that it is the government who comes off as the bad guy. Because of insane food regulations, even if schools wanted to offer healthier choices, they can't. The show basically recommends the deregulation of public school food, a worthy libertarian goal.
