Dear all, thanks for a baptism of fire with the ongoing debate. This is my first entry and i would just like to say that, I understand all points but has it occured to anyone that these 'mums' are scared of the kitchen! If you have no confidence in there, the convenience foods available can make it look like your cooking and providing for the family, when in fact it is a crutch. So what happens when you take a lame mans crutch away? you fall over. These poor misguided souls need help to enjoy creating in the kitchen, God Bless Jamie because he has certainly got my juices going again and my 5 cant wait for more!  Gone are the days of stews, sunday roasts etc, all good food and salads too, but they were so boreing! But i wanted more for my family and Jamies make sense recipies have made cooking a joy again. Its all they know poor loves, so just as we have parenting classes for those who cant cope, why not compulsory cooking lessons for everyone ! funded by these big companys who churn out the prepacked chemicaly recovered 'food' they are feeding their families on. Just a poser for you guys, you can lead a horse to water but you cant make it drink. If Jamie set up a school to teach us how to get back into the kitchen, id sign up, just incase id missed anything. I dont feed my kids on rubbish and junk, they take sandwiches to school, have a lovely dinner all together when we get home, have puddings now and again and sweetie day is Friday!  I look forward to your input xxx

hi


i live near the place where they were pushing food through the fence i think it is wrong what the parents were doing, but i think it is the perants perogative to what there children eat and no one can make any one eat what they dont want to   although jamie oliver is doing a good job with this healthy eating campain and in time it will stop kids from being obese although it is up to the parents what there children eat.


keep up the good work jamie m8

It's been over 12 months since the incident of the two ladies were passing food through the fence and i have only noticed 2 or 3 posts that may have nearly grasped it what was really about, to me this seems to be very narrow minded because even jamie dosn't understand but if he did and explained it to you all you would follow him like sheep and agree with whatever he says . also the comments he said about sainsburys and then having to apologise to the staff   why apologise i thought when he said something he stuck to his guns or was he orderd to in fear of losing his million pound deal with them , There is comments on the extra money he has acquired for the schools where is it all going can anyone answer this truthly are can the comments in the forum be true and it's not going in the kitchens. There are many issues to discuss i.e. the enviroment why is jamie trying to tackle obesity when he's driving around in a 4x4 gas guzzling range rover as seen on tv is he trying to get them fit to kill them with his exhaust fumes and is it possible to get him to do spot checks on the schools without him letting them know he's coming so he can see exactly what is going on because i haven't heard of any follow ups . it seems that he may have abanded this project because he has exhausted all the publicity he was getting and now gone onto something new. ????????????

Yes, I've seen the footage in cable, too.  Shame to those parents.  They're not doing their kids a favor.  Parents as bad influence?  Sheeesss.

they state that they are low in sugar.  i wonder if these would be a happy medium between chocolate/strawberry/banana milk, and plain white milk?
