Jamie is promising to 'go Ninja' if the government doesn't clamp down on sugar. So if we keep being allowed to continue eating sugar, an annoying self important prat will become a silent and invisible self important prat. That's win win.

I used to quite like the chap, in his early days anyway. Then like many of the other pseudo celebrities out there he became far too self important, in particular regarding food for kids despite feeling the need to be the face of big business that does its best tout all manner of ste food in its supermarkets.

An absolute tool of a man.

Ninjas tend to be silent and unseen, so the sooner he gets on with it the better.

There's sugar and there's sugar.

There's white refined crap, or worse, sweeteners, and there's gorgeous Muscovado and Demerara.

Bit like milk, there's white paint in bottles with a red or green cap, then there's real milk, with a gold cap usually unhomogenised from Jersey cows and similar.

Guess which I like?

I like him, I've liked his previous campaigns and I wish him success.

A ninja is an assassins. I hope he becomes a ninja soon as well.

Stein needs to back off on his salt intake.

The guy's got the permanent shakes in his hands!

Jokes about white sugar, them are rare.

Jokes about brown sugar, demerara.


Jamie Oliver is almost always right but he's also a massive , so on balance he should probably join the Lib Dems.

His heart is in the right place, and the message is important, but...

He used to be a bit porky and now that he's leaned out he's some kind of health tzar.
It makes him the TV equivalent of that fat mate we've all had who lost a few stone and turned into a sanctimonious tt who won't shut the fk up about how long their run/bike ride was this morning hehe

Jamie's School dinners was inspired by the book 'They are what you feed them' by the chief neurologist at Oxford specifically regarding nutrition. If the people moaning about Jamie read that book and how our youngest generation are being poisoned in the pursuit of profit despite knowing the damage they may be more inclined to back what he is doing.

Despite him being a multimillionaire who could just make chirpy cookery shows he elects to help others. Regardless of what you think of him he is raising awareness about the biggest danger to people in the next 50 years.
I agree.
He's a millionaire many times over, and you can tell he means what he says, genuinely wants to make a change for the better, but ignorant fools on these forums will just complain, even if his intentions are genuine, and everything he says makes complete sense.

It's normally a reflection of themselves, they can't get their head around the fact someone actually wants to make a change, without any sort of motives...
They tend to be sneaky tts themselves, so think/hope everyone else is/should be.

When he was discovered... Jamie Oliver found a niche.. ad made a career of it.

Problem is, he is a spent force.

How can you get growth... when there is nothing via osmosis...


He should do what was expected of him...

Make a few years of successful TV shows.
Licence his name to all of the ste kitchen stuff under the sun...
Retire.


( And... he is seriously overweight these days... so.. it is like Janet Jackson on her.. I use 20 bottles of hairspray a day.... but CFC's are bad )


If you need a spokesperson..... get one that eats their own dog food.

Become a ninja and commit harakiri?

So far, so good.

PS He lost a lot of weight recently

















so that he could do this sugar bhing thing and sell a new healthy food book for Christmas 2015.
