Do we not all love the creations of our favourite naked chef? Pasta’s, pies and fabulous deserts, I can not get enough. This time Jamie Oliver decided to use his skills to improve life in Britain by creating the Ministry of Food. LEEDS 09/06/2010 – Jamie Oliver is taking up battle to fight against the obesity problem in England. According to the chef the problem lies with the lack of healthy cooking skills of several households in Britain. The Ministry of Food will provide ten–week cookery courses, taught in specially developed kitchens in Leeds' historic Kirkgate market. There is a special staff trained by Jamie Oliver to teach the participants the ins and outs of cooking. The hope is that people will copy what they learn on the course to cook food at home with friends, neighbours and families. This will hopefully decrease the obesity in England.
I am a true fan of Jamie and therefore stand by everything he does. Obesity is becoming a real problem in England and I think it is brave of Jamie to step up and actually do something about it. He started with the healthy school lunches and this seems like a natural next step. But where lies the responsibility when it comes down to obesity? Are the parents responsible? Or the school?
What do you think forum?

Since parents are not concerned about the health of their children (or they would feed them more healty food I suppose) I think it is a good thing that school take the responsibility! Hopefully it will make the children ánd the parents more aware of their eating habbits. If children come home with a story about a delicious cooked salad, maybe (and hopefully) the parents will get curious and inspired to also try and make something else than baked beans!
ReplyDeleteThe best thing would be that parents and school should coöperate to make everybody more aware!
