The Truth About: Jaime Oliver’s Food Revolution TV Show

“In order to make meaningful dietary changes, people need to be educated. They need to be given accurate information. When people are given the accurate information, they can make an educated decision, and many will be inspired to make significant dietary changes, excited about the prospect of excellent health.” Clearly there are some positive aspects to Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution. Certainly he is bringing attention to the deplorable school food situation in this country. He also genuinely wants to improve the health of our country’s children. He aims to teach people how to cook for themselves. Jamie Oliver’s passion for healthy eating is admirable, but his recommendations on healthy eating are not scientifically sound. ‘Made from scratch’ does not mean ‘health-promoting' and the missed opportunity for significant change is enormous. The science of nutrition unfortunately is not common knowledge. In order to make meaningful dietary changes, people need to be educated. They nee...

By Greg Kaler While still making the foundation of our diet plant foods, my wife and I have gone back to occasionally eating free range ground turkey and wild caught fish.

When we now cook ground turkey patties, we put only a ...

The "A" Word...

If you are what you eat, and you eat unhealthy, What does that make you? The choices we make dictate how healthy we are. Addictions dictate how healthy we are. You’ve heard the sayings “Food is a drug” and “Everyone has a vice.” Each of us is addicted to something that does not promote longevity. Cigarettes? Alcohol? Prescription drugs? Illegal drugs? Meat/food from animals? Coffee? Junk food- sugar, salt, chips, doughnuts, pastries, cookies, ice cream, candy, pop, fast food? A drug addict does not like to be reminded of their addiction. A drug addict doesn't want anyone messing with their drugs. Someone who has an addiction to unhealthy food/drink does not like to be reminded about it. They may realize the unhealthy aspect of their addiction, but choose to do nothing about it. Or maybe they’d like to do something about it but they are powerless. They are hooked. There are many reasons why people consume what they consume. One is depression. “Comfort food.” In the short term it may...
