The food fight continues as Jamie Oliver, impassioned British chef, TV personality and best-selling author, brings his food revolution to Los Angeles in JAMIE OLIVER’S FOOD REVOLUTION, premiering Tuesday, April 12 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on /A\ (visit Atv.ca to confirm local broadcast times). In the second season of the series, Jamie takes on his biggest challenge yet, attacking the problems of obesity, heart disease and diabetes in America by inviting viewers to take a stand and change the way America feeds itself at home and in schools.
New episodes are also available on demand the day following their television broadcast on the CTV Video Player at CTV.ca.
The EMMY® AWARD-winning series, JAMIE OLIVER’S FOOD REVOLUTION, is loosely based on Jamie’s UK series, JAMIE’S MINISTRY OF FOOD and JAMIE’S SCHOOL DINNERS, which changed what British school children are fed in school. In America, Jamie’s turning his attention to helping people of all ages change their eating habits by learning to cook and choosing fresh food over processed in schools, homes, workplaces and even restaurants.
Last season Jamie took his food revolution to Huntington, West Virginia a small town of 50,000 people, which has been called the unhealthiest city in America. In the second season, Jamie brings his “food fight” to Los Angeles, California, a city of 11 million people known for its Hollywood stars and healthy living. However, behind the glamour, lives a city full of people consuming fast food and processed meals.
In the Season 2 premiere (Tuesday, April 12 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on /A\), Jamie is raising the stakes for his food revolution but almost immediately has to rethink his approach when the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD), the nation’s second-largest school district, slams the door in his face. Jamie’s first order of business is winning the support of the parents and teachers in hopes of appealing the LAUSD decision to lock him out of the school lunch program. He opens a kitchen in Westwood, where he hopes to provide educational tools to combat the obesity epidemic, and attends a school lunch convention, where he discovers a seminar advocating flavoured milk in schools. Jamie stages a dramatic demonstration, but it falls short with the community. Can the revolution be saved?
JAMIE OLIVER’S FOOD REVOLUTION is produced by the Fresh One Productions and Ryan Seacrest Productions. Executive producers are Jamie Oliver, Ryan Seacrest, Craig Armstrong, Adam Sher and Roy Ackerman.
