Food Revolution


Lilac Bush with purple lilac..smells so nice!



My hat is off to Jamie Oliver for his Food Revolution which is a television show that informs people about school lunches. He went into the schools and encouraged them to serve fresh instead of the processed food that is laden with calories and not so good for you. He really had an up hill battle because of course the food is government subsidized and cheap. Also easy to fix and serve up. I have long thought that the food in schools could be better. Also to take out the candy and pop machines. I was encouraged when the cooks and teachers finally understood what he was telling them that to save our children we need to start giving them better food.

He also has cooking shows and books out.













I especially like his book Jamie At Home!
He inspires me to try new things and new recipes.

No excuse for our bad eating habits....we have the knowledge and power to grow our own food and fix it fresh. Eat less meat and more fresh fruit and vegetables.

It is a stormy night here...tornato warnings tonight so I am outside taking pictures. My Wisteria has finally bloomed this year...long, purple blooms... so pretty. This plant is huge against the deck.http://www.jamieoliver.com/ Please sign the petition on Jamie's site!
