Will Jamie Oliver Change the Way Americans Eat?

Fans of cheeky billionaire Brit celebrity chef Jamie Oliver will undoubtedly get a considerable kick out of our favorite barrow-boy's brand new super-challenge to change the way we Americans eat. If that sounds like an oxymoron to you, that tells me that you're way out of the loop on the leaps and bounds that British grub has improved in the past decade or two. And Jamie's the man for the job having single handedly overhauled the British school lunch system of late. Truth is that though we're well versed in The Omnivore's Dilemma, Food Inc and our First lady's fantastic campaign to combat childhood obesity, an alarmingly vast percentage of the population has a long way to go before they even approach that same page. If we can't make a breakthrough without Jamie's charming, 'in-your-face' approach, then what do we have to lose? With American media darling (and best dressed man this side of the pond) Ryan Seacrest behind the new ABC network's Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution we're pretty much guaranteed a substantial tv audience. Tune in for the first episode in America's most spectacularly unhealthy community, Friday, March 26th, 9 pm.
