Jamie Oliver, as my trusty friend Wikipedia puts it, is:an English celebrity chef. He is well known for his role in campaigning against processed foods in British schools.
Having known Jamie Oliver since childhood through his fantastic bread recipes, I am a bit of a fan of the guy. But fandom shifted to utter respect when learning about a campaign that started five years ago to revolutionize school foods. His mission? To turn children, through education and nutrition, away from fats and salts and meats towards fresh, tasty vegetables and other
healthy options.
His manifesto and more right here.
The British School Food Trust also has some good ideas related to Jamie Oliver's vision.
I guess I bring this up simply to show that the Yarmouth School Garden is an opportunity for Yarmouth kids, like our groundbreaking and intelligent British forefathers, to taste truly delicious organic foods and expose themselves to the secret that is tastiness combined with healthiness. In the split-second moment in which we hear the word "vegetable," us humans have been primed to think of soggy asparagus. Why not shatter the dichotomy of delectable Doritos versus disgusting dill? With a few tricks, courtesy of Jamie Oliver, we could use fresh ingredients to create innovative school meals.
