So Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution came back on the telly. You may remember the show was rescheduled after it'd already started the season. Well it came back on and even though I'd written about it, I still managed to miss it's return until I noticed it on Hulu. So I'm sure plenty of other people missed it too.
And now it's already the season finale tonight. I'm sure this post is going up too late to catch tonight's episode if you hadn't planned on it already, but that's ok. Head on over to Hulu and watch at your leisure. It's interesting because it's not the same pathway to progress as last season at all and that just highlights how you can't work on a nation's eating habits in one swoop. Every area has their own issues, challenges, and opinions. But the man is doing what he can.
The neat thing is you'll be hard pressed not to learn something from each episode. For example, I already knew eating food whose ingredient list is a slew of items you can't even pronounce tends not to be healthy, but watching Jamie teach a classroom of kids a lesson they'll never forget about those weird ingredients in ice cream (Episode 3 or 4 - I can't remember) I learned a bit more - a disgusting bit more, but still.
In Episode 4, Jamie teaches some kids about calories and here's another interesting tidbit from that:
If you eat junk food like this (in his example) all the time every day and have no physical activity, it can take girls only 2 months to put on 20 pounds, 4 months for guys to add on 30 lbs for guys.
Go watch it.
