We've...I'm so glad you reviewed this show! We've been watching it, and I'm sooo intrigued. I've always loved Jamie Oliver (have a soft-spot for the saucy Brits) and his passion endears me to him.<br /><br />I agree with everything you say about what will and won't work. I feel grateful that Jarrah will eat anything, try anything, including many things that her mundane mama and papa won't. :) So we don't need chicken nuggets here, thank goodness; they do skeeve me out a bit.<br /><br />One moment from the show has made an actual change at our house: when Jamie is incredulous that the school kids use only spoons and says that in England 5-year-olds are a whiz with knife and fork. We handed Jarrah a knife the same day. And she's getting really good already!Samanthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04112717691155332450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1475141171362545725.post-37986306556410032010-03-31T21:48:35.125-07:002010-03-31T21:48:35.125-07:00I really like this show. I've watched the epi...I really like this show. I've watched the episodes on Hulu and I totally agree with Jamie. I was shocked when none of the kids could identify a vegetable. Yikes! I'm not perfect by any means, but I'm trying really hard to cut out all processed food. I'm not there yet, but I'm much better than I was a year ago. <br /><br />We do a lot of simple "snacky" lunches around here with bits of cheese, bread, veges and fruit. The kids love it and it isn't messy.Caseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06626762910189401795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1475141171362545725.post-21214546248557544012010-03-31T14:13:08.008-07:002010-03-31T14:13:08.008-07:00MILD sushi, not milk sushi.

You're gonna eat, you're gonna work. :) (I'm kidding...wait...no I'm not...am I?) <br /><br />Hands down, kids will choose processed foods every time. Every piece looks the same, the world over. Every piece tastes the same. It's even the same temperature. Everything they could want out of food, PLUS it's sweet. Notice that I cook all my food from scratch, and Ernie readily eats...milk, pancakes, waffles, bread with butter, cheese, carrots, apples, berries of all kinds, melon, rice, plain noodles, cucumbers, tuna salad, milk sushi, yogurt, and bacon. She's been known to eat beans on occasion. She's not eating ANYTHING I cook. No curry, no soup, no stir fry. Nothing. She really doesn't like anything that comes from the oven or stove, or anything mixed. Until Jamie convinces them that this new food is NORMAL, and not something new they have to try, they will never choose it. They need to see it in their refrigerators at home, see their parents eating it without fanfare. And it needs to be long term, no "diets" allowed. This is life. This is what food IS. Great recap! I'll be re-posting on DIY Mama.Myrniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13585790815417752655noreply@blogger.com
