Food For Thought

The Naked Chef's Jamie Oliver is working hard at changing the way American schools feed our children. He has a new show on Friday nights called Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution. I love that show and think it's fantastic what he is trying to do. America has a real problem with obesity, and people are getting very serious health issues. I remember school food not being the best, but wow, before watching this show I didn't realize it has gotten this bad.

I know that I am not a shining example of healthy eating, but It is something I am working hard on trying to change. I've realized lately just how important it is to be mindful of what we are putting in our bodies. I've found this awesome app called Lose It. It allows me to count my calories and keep track of my exercise. I've always struggled with trying this diet and that diet and nothing worked. I think Lose It is going to help me shed the pounds, to get fit, and to make a great lifestyle change, but more on that later...

Anyhow, I absolutely support what Jamie is trying to do. Hopefully he can get the message spread across the country and get some real changes made. I saw a little girl today that was 5 years old and 92 lbs. I was so bothered by that. It isn't the little girl's fault, but I feel really bad for her. I don't understand. What are people feeding their children? Although what Jamie is doing is great, teaching our children healthy habits has to start at home. Instilling healthy habits now will set them up for choosing healthier options later on in life.

Have you seen the show? What do you guys think?
