When I started to live in Singapore
, I decided to resist the temptation to watch Japanese
TV programmes in order to improve my English. So my hubby and I didn't subscribe NHK World Premium. My favortite channel is Discovery Travel and Living. There are lots of programmes about worldwide cooking and culture.
My favorite one is Jamie At Home. The cook is Jamie Oliver
He's cooking as he talked casually. He orten says, "Lu A The! (=Look at that)" I love hearing his talk and watching his performance. He is not only a celebrity chef but also a food revolutionist
He had been worried about poor school meal in the UK, so he challenged to change the school meal better a few years ago. When I watched the DVD about it, I'm terribly shocked at the fact
The school meals are full of junk food like Pizza, Chicken nuggets. There are no fresh vegetables and fruits. Jamie complained that he didn't want kids drink sugary milk and eat processed food any more. Poor kids
Now he had the same movement in the USA too. It seemed very difficult to fulfill his idea, but he never gave up. I really admire him.
Unfortunately I can't understand the all what Jamie is talking during his programmes so far. What a shame
I wonder when the day I can understand him well comes. It must take me so long time
What a coincidence!
I found the article about the food revolution in the USA in a Japanese newspaper!!
According to the article, Jamie's TV programme " Food Revolution" had high audience ratings and the movement for improving school meals has been spreading over th USA gradually
The article introduced another movement, too. It's "locally produced and consumed"
Mrs Obama created an organic garden named "Victory Garden" for self-sufficiency at the White House about one year ago and recently she's expanded it more. The movement of kichen garden has been boosting more and more now. That's great! Eat healty and more active
