It is. Far more than 33 baht though.

^Far more.

Is he going to teach them to make chip butties with canola oil? What a godsend.

He's lucky they didn't fry him up and eat him a la "The Cook, the Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover" (excellent movie, by the way):

No recession promotions in Thailand.

In fact I have seen prices go up in every area since the economy crashed.

I was back in Sydney for a few days recently . . . and the only slim Aussies were Asians.

I mean, seriously, what the hell has gone wrong with our society? I'm certainly not old but the following generation is disgustingly overweight . . . and it is our generation's fault.

I'd hit the roof if my girls were fat, there's just no justification for it. Eat well and go outside and do something in terms of exercise . . . swimming, walking etc . . .

Jamie Oliver reduced to tears (and so are the Americans as they reject his healthy eating advice)

Jamie Oliver knew it wouldn't be easy changing the eating habits of the unhealthiest city in America. But he was so shocked by the hostile reaction to his crusade that it reduced him to tears. The celebrity chef crossed the Atlantic pledging a food revolution in a country where two out of three people are overweight.

It's all too much: Jamie Oliver breaks down in the playground after a confrontation with dinner ladies at a school in Huntington, West Virginia. Heading straight for the clogged-up heart of the problem, he chose a city where schoolchildren are served up pizza and chocolate milk for breakfast. But there was little appetite in down-at-heel Huntington, West Virginia, for the cheeky-chappie Londoner.

At one point he ended up sitting in a school playground in tears, complaining: 'They don't understand me because they don't know why I'm here.'

The TV show following his efforts didn't go down very well across the rest of the country either. Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution drew a comparatively modest 6.1million viewers for its network premiere on Sunday night.

The locals in Huntington were already smarting over being branded America's fast food capital by the U.S. Centres for Disease Control. And, if the first episode of Oliver's stateside reality show is to be believed, they certainly weren't happy about being told what to eat by a foreigner with a funny accent. His first stop took him to a radio station where the interviewer made him about as welcome as a bowl of cold broccoli.

'We don't want to sit around eating lettuce all day!' said DJ Rod Willis, on the Rocky n' Rod morning show at a country station. 'Who made you king?' he demanded.
While Oliver's efforts to introduce better school meals in the UK met with some success, and led to a trip to Downing Street five years ago, he appears to have a much bigger job on his plate in the U.S..

Bolognaise Sauce , carefully added to the plate by Jamie or the real deal ?

Poor Fackin Jamie Fackin Oliver. They just don't understand the Cant.

he'll no doubt be raking it in when its shown in the UK. Poor Fackin Jamie Oliver.

Whats wrong with Pizza for breckie anyway. Its Best served straight from the Freezer after a skinfull .

Jamie Oliver reduced to tears....

He often reduces me to tears.

Hope he eventually succeeds with his pilgramage - the western world really needs to learn about healthy , FLAVOURSOME food and it's possible if we take our minds out of neutral.
OnYa Jamie Boy!

Itls like an American going to Cornwall and advising the locals that they drink too much.

These are the people who elected Bush a second time.

There's no helping them, there's no cure for stupid.

It seems to me that there is something about Jamie's superficially selfless zealotry that doesn't ring true..... could it be merely self-promotion?

If he really were such an altruistic champion of a healthy diet and lifestyle, surely he wouldn't have the paunch and jowls of a man 20 years old than he actually is?

Wasn't this the OP of an earlier thread?

he's just another of those cheeky chappie cockneys, he's hard to watch and even harder to listen to, especially for a northerner like myself, but there is no denying his food is good.

'We don't want to sit around eating lettuce all day!'

suit yourself, feed your kids processed pizza and chocolate milk for breakfast and watch them grow up into XXXXL sized freaks. its all too easy to live off processed salt/fat/sugar, but just take a look at so many americans and europeans now, some of them not even out of their 20's ..... its not pretty.

those fatties deserve all the abuse and sniggers they elicit
