I quite enjoyed the way in which Oliver's involvement with the school dinners campaign exposed the effects of the PFIsation of our education infrastructure.
im depressed too...blog something funny..quick!..... before i turn to the fags again
Oh for sure, children's nutrition is an important issue, but I don't remember the tone of the programme's being at all critical of The Holy Market's influence in schools; not just regarding food. It was all about how, with just a bit more money, the job would be a good un. Never mind that as soon as there's a profit to be made, the next thing to happen, as sure as night follows day, is ways will be found to shave micropence off the costs and sell advertising space. This will keep happening until we have 'corporate healthy' ~ all the appearance of a proper meal without any of the nutrition, branded and at a fraction of the cost. Wankers!
I'll not wade into Oliver's posturing though. I'm an intellectual, but i cannot be bothered to change my vocabulary from its native North + 'street' in my normal speech and there are times when i deliberately use it as a disarming device. Whatever, he's probably no worse than me.
But school meals is a bit low on the list of priorities I'd say, when compared to meals per se, war, torture and errosion of civil liberties.
You quit then Pp? Haven't read you for a bit, i'll be over soon. Well done! I'll see what i can do re: funny.
To his credit Jamie Oliver's utilisation of TV to further his agenda is the sort of thing Galloway probably has wet dreams about.
Oh aye Kid, and I'm not coating the lad off either. It's the British public I'm calling small minded for not realising that there are actually far more important issues going on than a minor celeb getting something done which is bloody common sense.
edjog, one beneficial side effect to your recent hiatus in blogging activity is that regular readers have the opportunity to browse your previous posts in more depth...which I find is often a requirement to get the full meaning of your thoughts...hope to see you active in this sphere again and soon!
Came to check you out because Lily linked you at Lose The Noose and I reconize Maineiac and Tubthumper of course.
edjog - ello?!
