Impassioned chef Jamie Oliver is determined
to take on the high statistics of obesity, heart disease and diabetes in the
United States. By talking to people in their communities, Oliver will attempt
to show people the incredible rewards of cooking for themselves and the people
they love. Oliver heads to one of the unhealthiest cities in America to start
his new cooking initiative. He hopes to start a chain reaction of positive
change across the country and convince the people of Huntington to change their
eating habits and get fresh food into the schools.
Despite continued opposition from naysayers
Alice Gue, Director of Food Services Rhonda McCoy, makes a huge leap of faith
by giving Jamie the green light to cook for Huntington High School. Once there,
Jamie finds his secret weapon in a group of motivated teenagers who understand
the need for change: Brittany, whose lifelong weight problem has caused
irreversible liver damage and shortened her life expectancy; Marisa, whose
father died prematurely as a result of obesity; Ryan, a troubled teen who wants
to get his life back in order by learning a new skill; Robert, a football
player who struggles with his weight; Brian, whose family is plagued by
obesity; and Emily whose dream is to attend culinary school. Jamie takes a huge
risk by asking the kids to secretly prepare a gourmet meal for the state
senator, local legislators and community leaders to raise the necessary funds
to train the school staff to cook fresh food.
Will the teens’ passionate appeals inspire
change in Huntington. To find out don’t miss ‘Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution’,
