Eh, it's shock and awe. Made for tv. And most school lunch programs are really abysmal and the fact that highly processed, poor nutrition stuff is cheaper and more easily available (says she who ate a frozen lasagna for dinner) is problematic. I've actually been impressed at the produce section of the SuperWalmart in the far-out burbs of Birmingham where my brother lives.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

But this is because of the federal structure of the program, not the individual cafeterias.

Yup. And it is a problem.

See, I don't know Jamie Oliver from Adam, so I am coming into this blind.

He just said "I cannot believe the government allow this." Wrong. The government doesn't allow this. The government mandates this.
OK, this is actually vaguely useful. He went into a first grade classroom and tested the kids and found that practically none of them could identify any fresh vegetables, so the teacher decided to have a vegetable unit to teach the kids what the different vegetables are. And he did not call anything "disgusting" or "outrageous" or tell anybody "You are killing your children!" throughout that entire segment.

Because books.
I think Jamie is just working with one cafeteria to be able to put a face on it. It seems clear to me that he knows it's the federal guidelines that are at fault, and not the people working in the cafeterias.

But it's totally framed as "Can Jamie change Huntington?" not "What needs to change at the federal level to change Huntington?"

“Not dead yet!”
I have dried beans like woah.
They make excellent packing material. Just make sure to put them in Ziplocs, since their own bags are so thin, but otherwise, they're great for filler.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The British show really was about teaching lunch ladies how to cook from ingredients, but I think he had to get the local government on board. It wasn't all national like here.
Yeah Jesse, I think some may be too old. I should just toss those, right?
Or make beanbags! Uses up fabric, too! (Of course, then you'd have beanbags.)

what are the federal regs messing up Huntington?
