Jamie Oliver

Promoting healthy school meals

British celebrity chef Jamie Oliver has long supported healthier school meals. He has been at the forefront of a campaign to provide better food to students.

He even helped some school canteens change their menus. Initially children complained, but his efforts were well-received by both parents and educators.

Last year, he went one step further. Oliver attempted - with the government's support - to eliminate junk food from primary schools across the country. Crisps, cookies, sodas and candies all came off school shelves. This time, however, the parents led a 'revolt' and began sneaking junk food to their children!
