42859 Day 235

jamie_oliver


amy and i have been keeping our eye on the abc show, jamie oliver's food revolution.  pretty interesting to see how he's tackled "healthifying" america's fattest city.  he's done it primarily through the school systems and various media outlets.  i was kind of skeptical about the ending (which came tonight)...it just seemed poised for a super-happy/extreme-home-makeover/make-everyone-feel-good kind of ending.  however, it didn't end that way at all.  instead we were left hanging a bit as to the outcome in the town and with jamie pleading with his audience to start taking steps in their own lives and communities to encourage better eating habits.  and it was the perfect ending in my opinion.

We LOVE this show. It has definitely caused me to think twice about some of the things we eat. I didn't realize it was ending so soon. Are you ever going to come to Durango for a visit?

Agreed...very appropriate ending. But it ended too soon! I was definitely hooked for those 6 weeks.
