Jamie's School Dinners: This was the dinner ladies training camp episode; not sure where it fits in the series, as this was my first look at the show.

What an eye-opener! If this is the state of British school cafeterias, I weep for the students on this side of the pond. That pediatricians see many kids who are so backed up that they're vomiting half-formed feces is just beyond belief. Apparently, that's what a diet of "fizzy" drinks, chips (i.e., fries) and chicken fingers will do to your body; the saturated fat builds up around the colon to the point where nothing can pass. Can you believe that?

Overall, though, it was an inspiring show: that Oliver persevered despite the many obstacles is a level of public service that you don't often see or hear about these days. And that his cause is so important - in my opinion, and, clearly, his, anyway - is all the better. Reading blogs at work? Click to escape to a suitable site!
