Sign Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution Petition and Help Make a Difference
April 17th, 2010 | Categories: Entertainment, Food | 3 CommentsIt’s no secret that I am a massive Jamie Oliver fan. I’ve been following the news regarding Jamie’s latest endeavor, Food Revolution, and the petition involved in the project. Therefore, I’ve decided that this blog is the best place for me to plug for an incredibly worth cause.
You don’t need to have watched Jamie Oliver’s show “Food Revolution” to realize that the state of cafeteria food in U.S. public schools is appalling. When French fries are considered a better source of vegetables over a veggie stir fry, you know there is a serious problem. Unfortunately, the combined factors of lack of funding, interest, and/or care regarding food served to children in U.S. public schools means that this problem has gone unaddressed for far too long. Jamie is hoping to create a food revolution in the U.S. to bring back healthy food in schools, but he needs all the help he can get to make the difference.
By signing the petition and supporting Jamie’s cause, you agree to the following:
I support the Food Revolution. America’s kids need better food at school and better health prospects. We need to keep cooking skills alive.
What are you waiting for? Sign the petition and help make a difference today!
I’ve never seen the show, but I’ll gladly sign. :D My favourite school lunch in elementary school was called “Cold Plate” which was basically just a bunch of veggies with dip, apple slices, and cheese and crackers. It was YUM. Everyone must have the yummy!
I wonder, it says when I signed to click a certain check box to help in “your community.” Do you know if they’re doing this in Canada, too? My mom was looking for some volunteer work, and this seems like something she might like. I’ll send it to her anyway though.
I’m not sure if this extends to Canada. Actually, I’m pretty sure that this particular campaign doesn’t, but I’m sure there are probably equivalents to it in Canada.
My husband has been watching this show and I’ve been sort of sucked in, too, by of course being around when he’s watching it. I definitely support what he’s trying to do. I hope that people listen to him.
