I've been vegetarian since I was 10 years old and try to raise my son to be very healthy, but watching one episode of this show got him more pumped about good, healthy food than I've ever been able to. I'm so happy that this issue is finally gaining more steam.Brittanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00692984513903377686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155538679069971441.post-28637986000836763612010-04-26T18:29:56.273-04:002010-04-26T18:29:56.273-04:00agreed, agreed, agreed. it's all about steerin...agreed, agreed, agreed. it's all about steering clear of things in packages and going for the fresh stuff. just cutting out things that are already made and making them simply yourself makes a WORLD of difference.<br /><br />www.raquellabella.blogspot.comRaquelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16864159248789945477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155538679069971441.post-39814546510347066142010-04-26T17:37:18.744-04:002010-04-26T17:37:18.744-04:00So, so great!

Eating right, eating to fuel and nourish your body, is the point the begin with, and it's a change that needs to be made.

All of his cookbooks are so thoughtfully constructed to make it easy to eat healthy in a society where we are bombarded everyday with easy unhealthy options. I love that he doesn't try to make people cook pretty, artistic food, just honest-to-goodness food. Check out his book 'Jamie at Home', it's really good and his pointers on how to grow your own veg are excellent, although probably geared to our climate more than that in the US. His 'pass it on' book, Jamie's Ministry of Food' is brilliant too, really straight-foward recipes that are easily prepared and delicious.<br /><br />I'm so glad a few people in the US are listening to him, the media here have been reporting that he's having a hard time over there!<br /><br />Idea...have a 'pass-it-on' party, where everyone makes one dish and then pass on the recipes..great fun!!Ellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06614666676834058531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155538679069971441.post-13139098832660954782010-04-24T04:45:49.215-04:002010-04-24T04:45:49.215-04:00This show looks so cool!
