My latest food-based obsession is Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution on ABC.  Apparently, Jamie Oliver was The Naked Chef.  A few years ago, he started a campaign in Britain to bring healthy food to get rid of all the unhealthy food in the schools.  He’s had success over there and now he’s brought his campaign to America.  The TV show is set in Huntington, WV, which was named the unhealthiest city in the United States.

Yes, it’s a TV show and they are trying to make an entertaining show, but what the show did for me was make me want to eat better foods.  I’ve started eating more fresh food and not so much fast food.  I ordered his book, Jamie’s Food Revolution: Rediscover How to Cook Simple, Delicious, Affordable Meals, and I’ve tried a few of the recipes.  I like the simple, delicious, and affordable part.  They need to be simple because unless it’s a weekend, I’m not going to want to spend a long time preparing meals.  Affordable is great as well.  I don’t want cooking at home to be a lot more expensive than going out to eat.  Delicious is a given.  The recipes I’ve tried so far have been delicious.   It’s fun eating foods prepared differently from the way I’m used to doing it.

Anyway, I’m enjoying the show and it’s motivated me to eat better.  There are 6 episodes and they were on Hulu the last time I checked.
