Jamie olivers school dinners is on and....

2nd March 2005, 11:08 PM

I just watched most of Jamie's School Dinners on Channel 4, and I was utterly shocked. To think some children grow up not knowing what most vegetables are, eating mostly processed food and refusing to even try fresh food is disgusting...

No way is any child of mine growing up like that!

I read that some London kids have no idea what a Cow is or looks like despite there's pictures of them on Milk and Beef products,they just thought it was a logo.
Kinda scary to live like that. :s

Yeah I saw that. It was pretty shocking. Had that boy really never tasted fresh chicken? Or was he just being an ass...I couldn't tell.

Jamie Oliver holds up some rhubarb:

JO - 'okay kids, who can tell me what this is?'
child - 'onion?'

utterly shocking that a child cant tell the dif between a leek and a kiwi

Most of the kids are ignorant little fucks, moanin about how they dont like his food. My kids'll never be like that.

yeah, it's not really their fault though. if you'd never been taught, or given the idea to explore, you wouldn't sit at home and think "hey, i'm gonna do some research into some vegetables"

we're lucky.

All_in_black · 3rd March 2005, 08:04 PM

No, but theyre little fucks.

"Oh, i want chips. Ive never tried that other stuff before and im a dumb inbred little bastard so just give me the chips"

thomasjmaccoll · 3rd March 2005, 08:41 PM

good point

Rebelius · 3rd March 2005, 08:43 PM

the ad for next week's had him trying to get a kid to try something.

He offers him a pound. No
2pound. no
5pound. no
10pound. no
20pound. no
50pound. no

that's ignorance, not cos he wasn't "taught, or given the idea to explore,".

Jamie aint too shmert himself. Hes trying to get the kids to eat fruit and veg, and what does he give them.........GOOSEBERRIES!

"Thankyou Jamie for my tongue ulser. I shall never eat fruit again"

I never had a fuss with vegetables. But thats because my mum used to feed me all the sweet and mushy ones like turnips before the really green tasting stuff.

I laughed like fuck last night when some kid was about to eat a thing Jamie made and the kid put tomato sauce on it, Looked at it in disgust then just scrapped off the tomato sauce with his fork and ate the sauce

How much did u want to punch that guy who's like "chocolate, chocolate chocolate" fucking poor excuse of a kid! I have a lot of respect for jamie oliver and what he's doing. it's about time someone went forward and did something about the state of the food being dished out!!

gabrillowise · 4th March 2005, 02:28 AM

I would have a lot of respect for Jamie Oliver and everything he's doing, if he didn't say 'I'm doing this out of my own pocket. I'm not getting paid for this. Nobody asked me to do this' at every opportunity.

He seems to think of himself as 'the cook who will save Great Britain's youth'.

Actually, he probably doesn't at all, but I get that vibe.
