Potato or Tomato? | Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution
Watch as kids in an elementary school class in Huntington, West Virginia have trouble identifying fresh fruits and vegetables. Huntington has been called the unhealthiest city in America where nearly half of the adults are considered obese. "Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution" premieres March 26th on ABC.

One of the most annoying arguments for parents not feeding their kids decent food is ‘they won’t eat it’ in my house if you didn’t eat what you were given you didn’t eat.

@JennyFromTheVlog Definitely. My parents had the same attitude too. If you didn’t eat dinner then that was it. Hours later when me & my sister were still hungry because we hadn’t eaten our dinner, we realised we’d have to eat a healthy meal so we soon learnt to! & you’re right; they’ve proven that healthy food is cheaper than junk & that’s not just because junk food only fills people up for about an hour or so! Your lunch doesn’t sound bad’ better than turkey twizzlers & what they had in them!!

Watched this last nite, totally shocking. How can a parent or even a teacher think it’s ok to eat pizza for breakfast. And they had a cheek to have a go at jamie, “How dare you feed our kids healthy food”

@ekspertti1 MEXICANS DON’T SPEAK MEXICAN? HOLY SHIT!!1

Where did he find these kids? Honestly, this show looks waaaay to stereotypical. If a kid doesn’t know what a tomato looks like they were either raised in a cellar or have mental disabilities.

@HeatProtection lol no i assure you they didn’t. most people joke about it over here. and most countries were celebrating.

These are, like, the most basic veggies. o.0

Obviously staged. The American educational system isn’t this flawless. Anyone who believes this is America must be a complete dumbass.
September 20th, 2010 - 23:25
@larewwedxhhh19 Im pretty sure you’ve got this one wrong buddy.
This is USA, little hint the hillbilly accent that you don’t get anywhere else but USA.
September 20th, 2010 - 23:29
@larewwedxhhh19 ‘isn’t this flawless’? surely you mean flawed? looks like the american educational system could be.
September 20th, 2010 - 23:30
@T0PSLAYER117 Regular American people that where they found them.
As you move away from the metropolitan cities, thats what America.
Most of America is exactly that. But at least they get the important things Black people like KFC , Iraqi’s should be turned to ASH, Europe is a country, The 9/11 attack was in 2004 August.
You know what i mean all the important things
September 20th, 2010 - 23:35
@larewwedxhhh19 West Virginia…
And don’t you mean ‘flawed’?
Nice to see your country has failed you.
September 20th, 2010 - 23:46
Eee…ggg….Salad!

I think he may have chosen a special class to do this. I’m sure most Americans know what a tomato looks like. In fact, there is a tomato pictured on a bottle of ketchup.
We’re dumb, but not that dumb.

@bauuau18 Splendid grammar. They also note that they are a breed of British, much like an Australians. I think the answer to world peace is clear, destroy Britain and all of their counterparts.
September 21st, 2010 - 05:27
*the Australians
September 21st, 2010 - 05:32
@venerableweevil Watch out for the angry brigade of stupid British and Australians with their frivolous stereotypes. Did I contradict myself? Perhaps.
Your country may have made mistakes, but I don’t have prejudice against Americans like many of the morons commenting on this video.
September 21st, 2010 - 05:52
Ah yes, I forgot to blame the Canadians too, just in case. Of course stereotyping entire countries is stupid, but that’s the level I have to sink too.

I watched this show last night its pretty intresting jamies gone to this fat town to help out give some support and ideas and the towns just turned on him like a pack of jackles, whats intresting is the town seems to be wrorried about this englishman (who aint the brightest spark either) comming and making them look stupid and ignorent but the more they turn on him and question him the more stupid they look. I.E dinner lady wont belive kids in other contries use cutlery at age 4 upwards. wierd.
September 21st, 2010 - 17:29
@T0PSLAYER117 Exactly thats what I mean
When americans have problems they have 3 options
1.Beat its ass
2.Kill it
3. Turn it to ash

@bauuau18 Well they’d be destroying themselves too, since they came from Britain. They’d have to hold a complete genocide on anyone that has even a trace of British in them. Once the genocide is complete, they would have to go Hitler’s way out with a cyanide capsule and a bullet to the head. Guns are legal in the US so this shouldn’t be too hard for him.
Once complete the Russians, Germans and the Chinese will have a massive war with each other and Mexico will take what the US left behind.

If you notice, when he asks the kids what the different vegetables are, he seems to specifically ask the kids who DON’T have their hands up. Pause at 0:45, there’s a myriad of kids eager to answer and he chooses the one kid who clearly doesn’t have a clue.
But then, their lack of knowledge about food doesn’t really say much. I’m sure the kids probably couldn’t differentiate between the ingredients in fattening food as well. But come on, at that age their biggest concern is when recess is

The former head of FDA is on Charlie Rose,he says that the US food industry is a system for the delivery and addiction to:salt,sugar and fat.He says that he did what he could with supermarkets,by introducing nutrition content labels,but the abuse continues in the restaurant and fast food industry.

A long way to go Jamie. Good job.
