Jamie Oliver

I just finished watching the season premiere of Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution. I'm so amazed that people are scared to eat healthy. They are afraid to stand up and make a difference, to put it in our schools.

Why is eating healthy so expensive? When I'm short on money, I have to buy whatever I can afford to eat at that point of time, which generally isn't healthy. Plus I'm a vegetarian so I need to eat my veggies, fruit, and tofu. Whatever happened to the small farmer? Good foods and we know what's in it. Do you know that when you bite into a burger you could be eating many different cows? You're not just eating one cow. What are they eating? Cows should be grass feed, healthy food. They shouldn't be feed junk because they get fatty, we get fatty. Bring back the farmers. Bring back good, healthy, cheap food.

Besides, do you know what part of the cow the hamburger is from? Tell me. Point it out on the cow. You can't! Because it's all the bits and pieces that don't sell. That normally would be used to make dog food. We're eating dog food!

The schools have junk! Even if parents have healthy food at home, kids are getting junk at home. Why would we put that in our bodies? Because it's cheap. That's the thing. You want a drink of something. You can get a big thing of pop which is cheaper than juice and milk. What are you going to pick when you're short on money? You want a snack? You can get a big bag of chips for cheaper than you can get apples.

When I don't eat healthy, I feel unhealthy. I feel icky, gross, and lazy. Why would I put that stuff in my bodies? Because it's cheap. When I have money, vegetables, fruit, fresh food is in my fridge and cupboards. When I don't...it's pasta. I still try to make it healthy with frozen veggies. But it's all carbs.

We need food to be healthy. Think of how much our government will save on health care if we made healthy food more accessible. We need to bring back the small farmers. We need the big corporations to be taxed and forced to made their food healthy. If we helped out our farmers, healthy food would be accessible. We need to fight for what we want! I want healthy food in fast foods, in schools, and in grocery stores. Fight for what you want!!! It's what we need! We need cheap accessible HEALTHY food!

Healthy food is interlinked with the environment, health care, and fitness. Think of what the government will save on on health care. Think of how much better the environment will get. This is ridiculous that the government won't do this!

Jamie Oliver keep going with your fight!
