I watched it. It'll be interesting to see how much the town he's in buys into what he's saying

Jamie Oliver is a bit of an idiot. He shouldn't have pretended to be a cockney, when he's actually very middle class. He shouldn't have cashed in on his success by telling us to 'taste the difference', when we were already sick of seeing him in his regular TV slot.
But the British public are a right bunch of nasty cunts a lot of the time - I reckon he's paid his dues.

He's harmless, and as toe_knee said he gets design.. his stuff is well thought through

I wonder if he'll have trouble getting advertising dollars from shit food peddlers if the show takes off...Papa Johns, Burger King, Taco Bell, etc...

His iPhone app is the best I've used. Design and content wise

Basically if people want to be stupid cunts and eat shit and die early then fucking let them, wankers.
- It's not that they want to eat shit. They don't know any better. Never learned about it.joeth
- Yes but the kids don't really have a choice do they.Centigrade

I'm not sure how long Jaime Oliver has been doing this, but Ann Cooper has been at this for a few years as well. While the site is a a slight mess, her message is pretty clear

...and it's rubbish about not being able to decent food when you get back from work. You don't even need to cook 'healthy' food, just not eating the processed food every night is a huge benefit to you, so much shit goes into those things to cover up awful ingredients. Why would you want to eat it?

The whole 90s thing was quite annoying and agree that it has left an indelible mark on his character but it certainly hasn't done him any harm. I'm sure he was just going along with whatever the TV people advised him at the time, I think now his company is one of the most savvy in this area and the products he's putting out are solid. I mean his food mag, his website and the iphone app, books.
That iphone app is one of the best thought out apps on the iphone. For those who havn't used it, it has recipes split into step by step, each step displayed full screen, double tap to see a full screen photo of that step, shopping list feature (split into aisles of supermarket), general video tips etc. It's a quality app.
At the end of the day he is showing you how to make decent food, quickly and easily without being pretentious. I don't particularly like the mockney persona but he seems pretty genuine around people and I can appreciate he is doing a good job. He's like a younger male Delia.

I watched the sneak peek of his show last week. Let's just say he's got his hands full in West Virginia. I think his tactics might be a little poorly suited for the rural South. I love what he's trying to do and fully support it. We don't let our girls eat school lunches, cause of all the processed crap that they'd eat. I hope he get's enough parents pissed off about the choices their kids have to make them want to change the system.

I like jamie as a chef, but as a personality I've always thought he was a bit of a douche; until he began raising awareness of the crap school children eat.
I think its a good thing to help people realise that what they are feeding themselves and thier children is not fucking good for them....
on the adverse... when the zombie apocalypse occurs it means there will be less fat people to have to outrun.

Cornered by a pap with a video outside a restaurant in LA, Ramsay was asked: "When was the last time you found yourself complaining in a restaurant about the food?"
To which he responded: "Last time I had dinner at Jamie Oliver's restaurant."

typical british slagging off anything successful, hence the country being in the shit heap it is.
