I've seen it while my mom was watching it and i think it's pretty good. It doesn't seem inappropriate at all, except for the language (pretty much bass-terd, hell, and piss, and a few bleeped words), but it isn't used that often. I think it enlightens healthy choices and removes the "yuck!" factor from healthy foods. It's got an overall good message about "nothing is impossible". I mean, for Pete's sake, he made a bet that he could teach 1,000 people to cook in a WEEK. And he WON!!!!! I think it actually would be a GOOD idea to let little kids see this. Just make sure they can ignore the language.
I have followed Jamie Oliver since he started with his "naked" food in the UK. As an RD, I'm thrilled with the effect his having on Huntington and across the county -- I teach nutrition and gardening and my 5th graders are talking about it! Anything that gets kids to think about what they're eating and where it comes from gets a thumbs up from me!
language concerns, otherwise- every american kid should watch this!
This show is wonderful! I admit, he is preaching to the choir, but I feel strongly that we need more people like Jamie Oliver helping our school systems, and education parents on how to educate their children toward 'normal' eating habits! There is so much here, I am really pulling for Jamie to succeed. I'll be watching him closely to make sure he isn't in it solely for the money. However, if he succeeds, and becomes wildly rich in the process, HE DESERVES IT.
My 7 year old just loves this show, and that is a positive sign. The only thing I would caution parents about is the language. It's a shame Jamie can't tone it down, in light of the fact he is trying to reach children. This isn't going to corrupt your kids, but if you are sensitive to language and shelter your kids in this regard, they my be learning a few new choice words here. Too bad. Jamie- Tone it down!
This is a great show that can teach Americans how to eat right. There is some language like b***h, ba***rd, piss, s**t, and more. But it's a great show with great messages.
This is a show that will change how America eats. I cannot believe those kids could not recognize fresh produce! He may be touhg, but he is right.
My five-year old found the show interesting (the bits he watched) but mainly this show is on for me and my husband.
it teaches you what you are eating. and that is the best thing that can happen. sure i can get a little violent, but it isn't anything that your kids don't see at school.
