April 19, 2011 - Food Revolution

I just finished watching the second episode of Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution.  I just want to say that if you're taking the time to read this, but not the time to watch that, you're priorities are out of whack!  Watch it.  It will start you down the right path.  You still need to watch Food, Inc., so all of you wimps out there need to suck it up and watch it!

I just wanted to get my opinion out there.  Dino is screwed in the head.  He needs to realize that America follows trends, and if you give them the tools they will fix the problem.  If the food is good we'll order it.  The things Americans look for in fast food are these (in order): SPEED, PRICE, TASTE!  So pathetic.  We're ridiculous.  I'm not any better though...

I'm glad that there are people like Jamie Oliver out there doing what they're doing.  I'm glad he's working the health angle, and he's really gone to America's battle ground for his conquest.  I am still concerned more with where the food comes from.  He managed to get the pink slime out of the burgers he made at Patra's, but where did the beef come from?  Was it corn fed?  How many antibiotics are in it?

Have you ever asked this about your food?

Watch the show.  Learn some things.  Then don't stop there, make some changes.  Start simple.  I'm going to learn to grind my own beef next.  I have the attachment for my Artisan Stand Mixer and everything.  Then it's on to making my own sausage.  What are you going to do?
