  • "She goes to church, she wouldn't lie to me." Yeah, it doesn't work that way.

  • lol, those kids don't know veggies o-o, don't u have a book or sumthing, that's the way i learn of veggies :p

  • why jamie failed? cuz he chose the elementary school as the experimental site.

    children always prefer junk food and dat happens everywhere. no matter ur american or not.

    the result would be totally different if his choice was a high school

  • the sad thing is not every american is like this. i really hope we're not portrayed as this in general.

  • @jabahottie That you can't say with almost every third person being obese! But of course, generalizing is never good. I therefore hope that you agree that something radical has to be done.

  • @jabahottie Well you are. Cause if everyone in the world used at much resources as USA. We would last only 7 seven more years.

  • @JustifyGravity Well some peopled DON'T waste everything. Some people DO appreciate what they have. so don't generalize

  • This is how every American person is.

  • @philateliceun yea you couldnt be more off

  • gosh this is shocking..

  • This is very telling when a six year old thinks a tomato is a potato. Oh well guess no one wants to sit around eating lettuce all day.

  • EGGSALAD!!

  • omg i would eat the salad , bread and pasta

  • the us is supposed to be the most advanced country in the world. wtf not by a fuckin long shot they call africa & india a 3rd world country talk about being delusional the mighty us is so far back they r in the stone age

  • americans shouldn't be offended by what non americans say about their plp, they should be offended that they stand & take this abuse from their government by their kids school by big food corporations they should be embarrassed that a man from another country is showin their kids how to use forks & knives for god sake they should bury their heads in the sand that thier kids don't know which veggie is which or don't know what they r.

  • Man, the meal he prepared looked fantastic! And it adds a little plus that you know it is not made of plastic bottles, or polyfoam, or tire or I don't know what...

  • Guess there is a reason why americans are called fat and stupied, ofc all americans are not like this. Think there is alot to be done and i really admire Oliver for taking the time to help, he is such a nice guy and a great role model.

  • He should have told his son that it is going to take a little while to slim down but to stay healthy, it takes a lifetime. That would be an honest answer.

  • funny how they're in 1st grade and still don't know what a tomato is... that says a lot about american education --"

  • What's sicker than this american culture? Second and third-world countries want to imitate them, and it sucks harder than only american culture.

  • How the hell those kids don't know what tomato or potato are?!

  • 1 European saves 50,000 Americans. Beat that USA

  • This needs to be said-

    NOT ALL AMERICANS ARE LIKE THESE PEOPLE. I am American and take great care of myself, as do most of the people I know.

  • @FloridaFit THANK YOU for saying that. i'm tired of everyone here making up stereotypes about EVERYONE that's american.

  • well i guess maybe in their afterlife they'll regret and wish they had eaten healthy before death at an early age.

  • this is why i live in canada

  • im just grade 7 and he huge!!!!

  • these jackass kids dont appreciate health, soon to be fat asses

  • the majority are that bad in lower income areas all around the world.. not just the usa.. but you really don't need to spend much more to eat healthily.. i've been a single parent for years and my kids aren't overweight and they know what fruit and vegetables are.. it is a kind of child abuse that they don't know the basics BEFORE they are processed.. it's embarrassing this day and age!!!

  • Eggsalad!!!

    

  • they should have gordon ramsey do this show lol

  • Really the south? Let's not get on that topic please I live in TN and I can tell you we see families/people like that but my word we aren't all bad!

  • Jamie Is so sweet the only reason he's doing this health revolution is because he cares about them... They really should appreciate it more.

  • Americans aren't stupid and like wtf why don't those kids now what a freaking potato is I new all of those veggies except egg plant when I was 3 years old!

  • When he asked about the different vegetables I was schocked, my sister who is 2 years old would know more than those kids, well i dodnt know if she nows what nuggets are or french fries. but she would know chicken and potatoes. I really feel bad for that guy trying to save that town but they don't want to be saved.

  • 1:29 the chubbiest one doesnt eat a shit of that platter LOL

  • Yep... 90% of my teachers are overweight/obese in my highschool. There a few obese guys and girls in my school (we have 450 or so people). But the only good thing is the choices we have at lunch, you can have crappy processed food or choose from the granola bars, yogurts, fruits, and salads. I'm not surprised though at the other kids in Elementary. When I lived in Australia before America. We had 2 "recesses" a day and we also had PE. Here... Nope sit on your ass, eat crap, back to class.

  • can american even think their own health?...... or just ask george bush, he is the smartest 

  • Sheesh- what do they teach these kids back there? They don't know what a tomato is? Wow, so shocking!

  • They should send the guys from EpicMealTime!

  • He would punish and swear

  • Maybe they should send Gordon Ramsay to those schools :p

  • @EnlightenMePlease1 Yeah, he would just be honest and tell them their all a bunch of fat idiots

  • don't just think because of this one city, that the WHOLE ENTIRE united states is like this. I mean, i live in California and it's pretty healthy here. I mean, the school lunch programs aren't that great but the choices that most of my fellow classmates make are better than these people. I'm just saying, don't judge an entire country on one city.

  • @vampknight65 or one state I'm pretty sure per capita USA has the highest rate of obesity

  • Jaime Oliver is my new hero!!!

  • This is tragic and stunning!! I'm an American and I know what those foods are but I had no idea that in some places people didn't!! Wow:( super sad

  • oh they dont eat their fruits thats sad :( .. in my country children and adults love fruits we have lots of different kinds.. fresh fruit shake/juice we love it even if its expensive we pay lots for it. its just sad to see those fruits go in the trash such a waste

  • WOW. That's a big fat eggplant! Eggplants here in our country is so thin..

  • Oh my.. Why aren't they eating the apple??! Or is that a pear? In any case, why aren't they eating??? Oh well... Oh. Well.

  • If they're trying to blur things, they should do it properly lol.

  • in addition to my lasst comment

    i havn't had coke or diet coke in my life, i drink water instead.

    i have never tasted a corn dog or a patty (whatever that is).

    i have had my first donut at the age of 11.

  • wow, americans eat a lot

    the 1st time i had a pizza was when i was 9 (no joke)

    i spent 3 years without tasting ice cream (no joke)

    i have a full meal with atleast 8 vegtables 2-3 times a week, every week

    i cant believe americans, some of them dont know what potatoes are, when they are coming up 7, i have a range of 6 through a week

  • Jamie Oliver is making lunch for them and their spiting it out? somthing is wrong here.

  • how shocking they dont know what tomatos are.......... just shocking

  • Just kick Alice out! she needs to get out or shut up and put her wrinkly finger down!!!

  • some of those foods were hard lol.

  • "if i wasn't thinking for myself, i definitely wasn't thinking about my children" ..... i thought the kids came first captain america....

  • Haha the bit where the girl says her favourite meal of the week was pizza is funny, that woman was clearly lying to J.

  • Spoiled kids. I would eat all of this delicious looking food. The only food I wouldn't eat as a kid was fried chicken, fish sticks and peppers.

  • these kids are lucky to have jamie cook for them on a daily basis ._.

  • I hope some people take a while to reflect about that...

  • it hurt ya stupid woman that your son has diabetes but you have been feeding him crap for his whole life!!

  • Astute doctor. He recognized acanthosis nigricans. Strong work!

  • Is this even for real?! Anyone seen the movie Idiocracy? I thought of that during many parts. If they eat like this in school and think this is normal, what are they served at home? If not even their parents give them real food from raw products, then how are they supposed to even want to eat something else. Don't these people have logic thinking. I would be really pissed if my children had to eat that crap in school! Jamie Oliver is doing a great job but obviously to deaf ears...

  • america land of the free my ass. youre free to be brainwashed by big companies which want you to eat their cheap fatty stuff.

  • wow, are all the kids like those? who don't even know what a tomatoe is? i prefer a "Jamie Oliver's meal" than those fat disgusting meal from the Mac Donald's, ofcourse its delicious but its not healty. Peoples nowadays are growing up like this, dont even know what a potatoe is... Fuck me...

  • Damn, I wish this sort of thing came to my high school.

  • Comment removed

  • "letting him have what he wants" yeah he wants the crap food because thats what you raised him on. why the hell do people eat this way and not change i don't get it!

  • Comment removed

  • I just can't believe those americans. It's just insane how they think, and how they brainwashed all of their children. I can't imagine me thinking that way... Thumbs up if you agree

  • @Locoluckie Fuck I AM an american and I agree with this so hard. I get shit from adults because I get lunch off of the salad bar at work, and even that isn't ideal.

  • @Locoluckie I'm American, and I totally agree with you. I eat fairly healthy 90% of the time. The fact that these kids are so ignorant saddens me. We've brainwashed people into thinking that this stuff is OK to eat. Just htink of McDonalds and their salad that is supposedly healthy, but then they add fattening dressing...WTF?

  • @Locoluckie I TRUELY hope that you arent refering to americans in general, instead of just these people on the show.

  • @Locoluckie i hope you don't refer this to the entire country. Do you really think all americans are like that?

  • @Locoluckie do not believe anything that is on tv... but americans are stupid.

  • @Locoluckie Believe me it sucks living amongst them. You're an outsider if you enjoy a salad.

  • @Locoluckie awww fuck those hicks from the south making us all look bad again.

  • i wonder what the school teaches..you dont teach them about veggies or fruits? so what did you teach?

  • You cant help ppl that dont want help.

  • Jamie: Whats this?

    Child: A potato.

    Jamie: It's a tomato.

    OMG LOL

  • oh my god the kids know nothing

  • As an American, this is embarrasing as hell. The ignorance ... Jamie Oliver please keep doing what you do.  And don't appologise for saying what is what. This country needs a good kick in the ass when it comes to food and nutrition.

  • what happen to the health classes they use to give in elementry school......where they would teach the kids about the food groups????

  • If he tried it in a high school I feel he would get a much better response

  • @SuperShelman Thing is that high school is a little bit too late. IF some things aren't changed in earlier age for the better, it's much more difficult to change it later. Not to mention that younger age are absolutely crucial when it comes to the development of mind.

  • That Stacey Edwards person is a horrible mother. Horrible, horrible mother and she should lose custody of her children.

  • AAAAAH! Eat your veggies...

  • gah! i was just so grumpy awhile ago but ah~ jamie looks adorable~ his wife is lucky!

  • well done for making this show available to the public on youtube. they obviously realise getting this message out to the audience is more important then making a quick buck. bravo.

  • i can`t believe his perceverence,outstanding guy

  • the little kid at 2:27 looks like the kid from Polar Express

  • I'm surprised these kids are so fat if they're only eating a twelfth of what they're given. And they couldn't even bear to take a mouthful of (hopefully) delicious salad or even recognise a FRAKIN' tomato. I'm not trying to judge a whole nation but COME ON. They probably would have eaten it if it was golden brown.

  • i cant believe she's four and so FAT!

  • egg.....Egg Salad! :3

  • This whole world is in a chaotic state. Not only because of overweight and obese people, but our economy, health care, curriculums, the stock market, wars and President Bush who started all of it be for Obama was sworn into office. WELCOME TO THE NEW GENERATION OF THE DARK AGES LADIES AND GENTELMEN!! all we need now is another antichrist to top it all off.

  • 2:34 WHAT IS WITH YOUR HEAD!

  • 0:58 LOL that kid is so stubborn yet cute.

  • "It kinda hurts ya"........... OMFGHEWQWRGGLRGG

  • its horrible that kids dont even know the basic vegtables thats sad :(

  • If it ain't broke don't fix it? Well they're broken

  • OMG O_o

  • Fuck Those kids are retards like their perents already !!

  • I feel sorry for your country and people if you have to teach such a basic facts about the food. My god ...scary.

  • oh tomato ketchup? i know that one!

  • things like these make me feel so much better about the way i was raised, thank god for grandma's food:P

  • It's hopeless -_-

  • O_O thats all i can say

  • I thought they where going over the top when saying America was fat, but no they where actually being serious :/ it's sad

  • looking at those kids make me hope...that this is just TV

  • They don't know what a tomato are? Or a potato?! I am in shock.

  • Its not fair for people to generalize so much about Americans. I'm just as disturbed and disgusted by this. There are many Americans like myself striving to stop this and yes, many who are still ignorant to it.

  • United states of morons. There is no way to wake up the American spirit even when they know that they dying out of there own mistakes. They'll just say "so whatever let it be"

  • Comment removed

  • Americans are the worst and the most stupid people in the world.....!

  • What a waste of food. Can't Americans discipline their children?

  • I had a Bic Mac for the first time in 2 years the other day...It made me jizz in my pants and it felt good. I then had a cheeseburger...I felt like a born again christian.

    Treats in moderation is all good...that way you dont turn out looking like a fat cunt who cant see his feet.

  • "but ya know she goes to church so she's not gonna lie to me is she"...LOL.

  • great show. getting a burger now.

  • The way that girl at 0:44 spits out the veggies makes me think about why do Americans hate the stereotype they represent.

  • Pasta, c'mon, who dosent like pasta! How can kids not like italian food. they eat shit loads of pizza.

  • @AZNxC well.. its a kind of "pizza" id say ^^

  • I seriously felt like having a heart attack when the children didn't know what the veggies were. OMG SERIOUSLY. When I was there age, I knew what they were!!! Maybe not things like eggplant and stuff (mostly because I never ate it as a child)... seriously. It's sorta...errr..disgusting.

  • EGGSALAD!!!!!!!!!!!

  • "oh tomato ketchup i know that one" LOL!

  • "When you hear that your son is morbidly obese..." Is she blind?!

  • even the teachers are overweight. if you're parents are overweight, you siblings are overweight and the ppl who teach you are overweight, then you will grow up thinking it's normal and the way of life. when someone comes in and tells you differently, you will not believe them that it can save their life that it will make them feel better.

  • FUCKING IDIOTSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS­SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

  • this makes me feel badbecause im not to healthy

  • 2:23 THIS IS WHAT BECOMES OF YOUR CHILDREN WHEN THEY PUT TOO MUCH FLUORIDE IN THE WATER. WELCOME TO YOUR POST-INDUSTRIAL 'REPUBLIC'; THEY'VE SUCCESSFULLY DUMBED-DOWN THE ENTIRE FUTURE GENERATION. THIS IS TRULY TERRIFYING.

  • @FourHeadedHydra IS YOUR CAPS LOCK BROKEN!?

  • @FourHeadedHydra Have you seen the movie "Idoacracy"? That is where we are headded.

  • they need change for better

    

  • okay, i'm german (relevant^^), when i was a child i've hate vegetable. i've liked fruit, but i didn't eat much. i've loved toast with a butter and chocolate cream. even i had taken the pizza. but now (14 years^^) i prefer a fruitbowl and make sport evry week. what i'm trying to explain is: when you get older, you'll be more receptive to food. and i respect him, he does exactly the best way.

  • most americans represent stupid, ignorant and fat people.

  • @frankybe7 thannks

  • @frankybe7 Exactly how the rest of the world sees them. If they realize this, they will do a big step forwards. In my country such children go to special schools.

  • @frankybe7 A nasty generalisation! True; many people in the US are overweight, but the obesity "epidemic" is sweeping the western world. Cheap bad foods are widely available. And every American I have the good fortune of being friends or acquaintances with is not overweight, and even the few who are are intelligent, well-educated people who have good common sense, too. It's not the fault of most of the population when they are brainwashed into life threatening habits by media and marketing...

  • whats even more sad is that in some countries, people will kill each other just to have a piece of food these kids don't even know of

  • lol what's worrying is that the adults don't even WANT the kids to eat healthy. it's like... wow man, sometimes america really IS backwards...

  • Honestly, anyone with common sense would embrace Jamie Oliver with both arms wide open if he's come to ur place to do this, not putting him through all those bureaucratic BS

  • @vinniechan well if your talking about the school, that USDA bs is the law of the country (a Mandate) that food must contain x x x and x of fat salt have x amount of Iron, calcium that's all, but it's a real pain in the ass......

  • @vinniechan his intention was great, he just didn't know how to talk to these people :)

  • @lovellespice There's no other way of talking, unless you want to talk to adults like you talk to children. Now THAT would be condescending... Adults have the capacity to deal with a bit of honesty and Jamie isn't in any way rude about what he's talking about.

  • cant tell if they're trolling or just stupid...

  • they are so stupid....god....

  • he thought that tomatoes were potatoes.

    what can i possibly comment?

  • Also people cope with things differently. The mother smiles and laughs while looking nervous. If you think people make different expressions for only one reason you have autism and need to get this fixed.

  • are you fucking kidding me? the mother can't cry, is all her fault!

  • @antoneliii

    What the fuck else is she going to do? She's crying because she knows it's her fault. She wants to get better but it's hard. What an insensitive prick you are to not understand something as basic as this.

  • if my kids ate that crap they serve...im pulling them out..thats sick

  • America is so corrupt. Its shocking.

  • All that food they were throwing away could have been used to feed hogs. There was also a plastic milk container for each kid that could have been recycled. There's more going on here than just an unhealthy diet; there's excessive waste occurring at the taxpayers' and the environment's expense.

  • this must be a terrorists favorite show they would all be like ( HELL YEAH! the Americans killing them selves and we don't even need bombs and whatnot this is great we could just wait 10-15 years and they would be to fat to even give a damn hehehe) man........

  • When I saw the part about naming vegetables it became apparent that the problem in schools is MUCH more than just what they serve the kids...

  • I think it would have been better if he gave the kids the chicken, it's something they are more familiar with and would be a better way to transition their diets

  • I like how the two top rated comments are replies to a top rated comment lol brilliant

  • A doctor's visit is what it takes to scare that family healthy and hearing their 12 year old son is susceptible to diabetes caused by diet, that is so scary....American health care, food industry and the government are a vicious cycle with no solution in the near future...

  • It's really not the childrens' fault.....they are six but because of their parents and generations of unhealthy and misguided information/diet, they are incapable of telling the difference between tomatoes and potatoes.

  • if they don't care for their own health, why should anybody eles care? people CHOOSE to live or to die

  • "If it's not broke don't fix it".....what the...

  • @Painite Lyric from the meatloaf song

  • OH GOD! im crying in the inside.. look how poor this place was.

  • Is it just me but from a short distance doesn't he look a bit like Simon Baker from The Mentalist?
