Jamie Oliver's petition? Right now there are 393,588 names and they need a ton more.
Watching Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution (my roommate once told me that my English husband sounds like Jamie. I disagreed) has reminded me of the junk I used to eat at my school on the days I had "hot lunch". I don't remember ever eating a vegetable at lunchtime. As a parent I'm constantly trying to get my kids to eat healthy. My 18-month-old will happily eat anything still but we're still struggling to get my 4-year-old to eat something grown from the ground!
Recently I showed him a photo of a child with really bad teeth to get him to brush regularly. Boy, did that work! Every time he sees the picture he runs to the bathroom and gets out the toothbrush! I am now thinking of showing him some kind of picture where the person is malnourished. Do you think this is a good idea? I don't want to scare him with one of the Olsen Twins! (Just kidding on those gals. They probably eat a lot and just have high metabolisms from sashaying around fashion shows.)
