The Brits Finally Face Their Food Issues
The Naked Chef Bares his Feelings about School Lunches.
The Brits aren't usually known for their culinary achievements, but thanks to Jamie Oliver, formerly known as Food Network’s Naked Chef, notice has been served that the typically unhealthy options on the lunch menus of British schools will not stand for much longer. Oliver and his “Feed Me Better” campaign asked food experts to come up with a few nutritional recommendations for school-age children.
Students will now be treated to a dual serving of fruits and vegetables with every meal, whereas fried food will be restricted to a twice a week. Days that once featured the likes of “chicken nibblers,” will now be feature fish with omega-3 fatty acids.
By far the most important element of the “Feed Me Better” recommendations is the introduction of food knowledge into the British teenager’s curriculum. Not only will students learn how to prepare food, but they will be exposed to information on food safety and nutrition as well. Of course, any effort to improve health seems to come at a cost. Hence, “Feed Me Better” has recommended a large budget increase for school cafeterias in return for a reduction in salty and fatty foods.
Just like his former television show — and the ingredients he would gather for it — Oliver’s approach to food is always fresh, no matter the audience. The Napoleon Dynamites of the world will be sad to see the sudden disappearance of tater tots from cafeteria fare, but carrot sticks should fit the bill for a portable afternoon snack.
