Jamie Oliver walks the walk!

I would like to give up some props to Jamie Oliver for his stand in the U.K. and abroad for food issues and farm animal welfare. For a celebrity chef to put his popularity and reputation on the line by preaching such a radical gospel - and to survive is something else entirely. This surely speaks to Jamie Oliver's enormous popularity as well as his team's ability to package such "marginal" messages in such as way as to make them palatable to us (the sign of a great chef).

Here are links to some of Jamie's best activist messages from his shows, blog and site.

Jamie's Fowl Dinners : Jamie walks us through the process of raising and slaughtering poultry...In front of an audience of diners who will share the results of this journey.

Jamie's Ministry of Food : Jamie takes his message of consuming whole food, cooking at home and eating good wholesome meals out on the road to teach people how to put tire to pavement an get moving in the right direction

Jamie's School Dinners and Jamie's Return to School Dinners : these are the shows that started it all. In trying to improve the quality of food in school cafeterias - Jamie Oliver started a public protest that prompted nationwide British legislation and new school food programs...

If you are curious - you can probably find some of these episodes on the web...not that I would support such an illegal copyright infringement..;-)
