School children are not impressed with British chef Jamie Oliver’s “Food Revolution” program in Huntington, West Virginia.
Oliver revised school lunch menus, eliminating processed foods and removing flavored milk from the menu in an attempt to bring healthier food to youth.
After two months, the results show his plan missed the mark—with 77 percent of the students saying they were “very unhappy” with the new foods served at school.
The average participation was 75 percent during the two months of standard meals and decreased to 66 percent during the two months of “Food Revolution” meals.
Milk consumption decreased by 25 percent during Oliver’s program. On a positive note, 66 percent of children said they had tried new foods due to the new program.
