That rod guy's gotta be acting. He and Jaime are def playing up the good guy bad guy angle. I fell for it at first, mainly cause it's the first time I've seen the show lol.
@iEatSuns ..dunno man, tbh! Heck it could even be anything IN the ordinary :P! I'll remove my last comment of blank suspicion till/if I actually find something to go on. Can't watch anymore.

Good cause. Is he alone? Y? Reality TV or Reality? Should I chill? Am I stupid? ..lol
@iEatSuns "Fast Food". Whenever u/me/dupree r too tired/short-on-time 2 have prepared for the day. Yet have enuf to spend on a 'buzz'. I'd b a hypocrite if I didn't have "my own combo". But if these healthy meals end up deep-frozen OR "packed-for-today-ONLY" something other than my appetite's going to die inside of me. What I'm on here is: 1) Raw ingredients (r they really raw anymore?). 2) Is the whole system going to feedback into itself? 3) Another "ratings-council" in the makin?
cooking is awesome! At this point it doesn't really matter if this was acting or not. If this show has a positive outcome, and by that I mean people really cooking healthy food for themselves, it matters no more. The important thing is they found a way too get people's attention. [Here in Europe it wouldn't work this way, but we do cook more]
@amyyyamy it didnt look like olive oil...and if it was it was a light olive oil which carries a higher smoke point and would be good for frying...he usually uses olive oil because its far more heart healthy...
@amyyyamy only problem with sesame oil is that the smoke point is very low and when you stir fry you need to have high heat, which means you would burn the oil and lose all the nuances that sesame would bring to the table, light olive oil is relatively mild in comparison to EVOO and as such would not negatively affect the flavor outcome of the dish...i would use canola oil as it has a high smoke point, and is neutral in flavor, then drizzle sesame at the end to impart more flavor
They weren't acting. They were locals of the town who expressed their opinions which were that they didn't have a liking for Jamie at first. I mean come on, you can't expect him to roll up in there and have everyone on his side. Of course he is going to have people who don't like him because he is changing their ways and it is in human nature to take change in a good or bad way with no in between. I believe Rod and Alice were totally being themselves.
When you come to think of it, Rod, watching food revolution from behind his comfortable desk, really might have been skeptical at the beginning, and as a self-confident radio guy he had his own strong opinion about it (based on ignorance, really). Confronted with real people who suffered and were given hope, he really might have opened his eyes.
We watch only 50 minutes of what was going on for days or weeks.
To all those who doubt if the rivalry between Jamie and Rod was real:
You must remember that we watch only small fragments of what was captured.
This is a real battle going on out there in a good cause but we want also a good show and they know we expect fast narration. And fast narration gives you an impression that the rivalry is more intense. That's why some may have doubts if it's real.
It's pretty obvious that Rod was acting for the show, but I'm not so sure about Alice, to be honest. There are some old birds working in cafeterias all over the country that don't give a shit about the welfare of the students..
This show is so fake. The DJ host is probably paid to become friends with Jamie to give the episode a perfect ending. You can't change a person's mind in a day. In the end, the schools a budget limited, they can't do all these elaborate stuff that Jamie is talking about. Teaching people to cook healthier at home is a viable idea though.
@awdrifter3 The whole point of the show is to expand the school's budget so they CAN get healthy food in schools... and this happened in Britain, so I can't see why it can't happen in America...
@awdrifter3 ...there are no prices in giving your children healthy food...im sure there are loads of money that go into unreasonable things in US, so why taking away from the children?
@INdiverCT I don't think it matters.. The message is important. I don't think Americans should take it too personally, since is a global issue.. This show could be made in most countries of the world.
I've been living on my own for about six months now and I've had to cook my own meals. I've found that I really enjoy picking a recipe, purchasing ingredients, and taking the time to prepare a delicious meal in my own kitchen. I especially love cooking for my boyfriend and family members. It feels good to see their satisfied faces as they enjoy a meal that took only a few hours to make. The joy of cooking!
There's something about an independent attitude that makes people resistant to education. But once they figure out how they could wield the power of knowledge, it makes all the difference.
Every episode this far has been like a sob story, a movie. I have never been this inspired in my life, and so unexpectedly, too!
My only idols this far have been explorers, biologists.. like Dougal Dixon, Jacques Coasteau, Charles Darwin, but now Jamie Oliver will be a part of that list.
@1282louise You try sitting next to a 12? year old girl breaking down as she describes how her obesity problems may end her life in 7 years before she even reaches her 20s, and not have a change of heart.
@Sasabitch18 On one of the episodes in season 2, Jamie goes on Seacrest's radio show and Seacrest is like "Now for the the sake of full disclosure, I do produce the show." lol
@slicknify there's no point leaving your family & friends for shores on the other side of the ocean (when you're a celebrity in your home country, and you've already got chains and armies of restaurants and chefs practically rolling money in) if you're not passionate about bringing about change
Well done you, Rod - well done! May we all be that courageous - not just about food, but about changing the perspective about our "truths".... 8-) xxx
@Broxi1979 I'm pretty sure it's into the billions now, but sad to say it's mainly political point scoring for them, they see tide turning and better to join them than try and beat them. I think jamie is all about fame and fortune though, don't be fooled.
@slicknify I don`t believe that, I saw many programs of him and he is just very passionate about these things. Its easy to be cynical when you see someone actually making an effort, but also remember that you can`t create a revolution without the help of the media. No hiding when the whole community is fed the truth and demands change.
So far I've watched four episodes and I'm ready to buy this on DVD this show is the best I've ever seen. Normally I don't watch reality TY because of all the drama, but Food Revolution is different. To me this is the first reality show with a point.
I think the initial rivalry between Jamie and Rod has been faked or heavily exaggerated. However, faked or not, turning your worst enemy to your side is a good way to get people to listen and ultimately eat healthy.
Jamie is a true Achellies ( pardon the mispelling :P) among men. To show such enthusiasim and courage is awe inspiring and makes me take a look at how I do things in my life. :)
This is the number 1 thing making men unhappy in the USA because 71% of the country is obese or overweight so females that are not are acting like they are above men in public. Jamie I support you 100% please add a staff of healthy females next to you plus drop tower gardens everywhere you go.
FIRE ALICE!! Sometimes you just have to cut your loses and if after weeks of seeing and experiencing a new train leaving the station she is STILL tieing herself to the tracks then just cut her loose. Click if you agree. Alice needs to find a new line of work. Alice is the epitome of why we have this problem to begin w/ - she just wants her life to be easy and doesn't care about anyone or anything else.
@ethankegley How else is Jamie going to hawk his line of T-fal wok's it he doesn't try to reignite stir-fry's that haven't been popular since the 80's.
@hack451 Hey, good point. I live in Taiwan and have quite a few British friends here, they really like Asian food and I know its quite popular back in England. But, I should have guessed that those woks were related to Jamie himself:) thanks for letting me know. Anyhow, I dont think there is anything wrong with it. But, I never cook stirfries here in Taiwan. Though I do make them for my parents when I go back to the States.
I think the Governor's appearance would be more than just an empty appearance if he had shown support for funding the diet of the revolution that Jamie's wanting to enact. Put your money where your mouth is!
We need an update on this city's situation to see how they've kept their changes - that's the hardest part of a lifestyle change.
One year from the airing of this program... I wonder how we're doing now? In Lewis Co, WV, we're still carb heavy and nutrient weak in our school meals. Now what? Help.
I hate to say it, but i think the Gov was there, less for support and more because he knew it would be good for his image. But i guess you never know, maybe he's different from other politicians.
Rod only came out when he realised that there were influential people and media going to be there. What a 180!! He is not sincere, but the most important thing is if this movement helps the people in this town and their kids. So whatever that takes, publicity etc.
LOL @ you guys not getting that this Rod guy is paid to play a certain character to add plot to the show. Of course the show is real, but they also need something to make TV and make it with an interesting plot.
@rocksinoo Well, it's ridulously easy to whip up plus I imagine a good, easy stir-fry would make the transition slightly easier than would gourmet borsch soup or lobster thermidor. After all, most of these people haven't cooked so much as a potato in their entire lives.
@rocksinoo Its not whether can HE cook something else, Its can THEY cook something else? lol As he said in the first few episodes "We're trying something simple first"
Like a few people, part of me wonders whether or nor Rod was made to go against Jamie in the beginning, in a bit of a script like fashion, for if everyone was on his side, the whole story would get pretty stale. But even if it was, you have to admire him for finally seeing the story the way Jamie sees the revolution. That it affects families gravely.
@wheaten66 Who cares, it's intentional - for American TV, you gotta work with the average American sensitivity. It does get the message across, which is what matters as it IS important that people understand they shouldn't eat crap.
sooo sweet. i'm gonna cry...this was a great project and a thoroughly enjoyable documentary. I love you Jamie- you're my hero- such a huge inspiration. Hope to work with you someday at FreshOne. :-))
@swks26 dude it was just a stunt. It did good for the city and ALOT good for his radio station. He got alot of free publicity and he helped the city. Win Win.
I don't give two hoots wether it was all concocted or not. I really doubt it. It was a fantastic show, and for a fantastic reason. When was the last time that you saw something that was GOOD for everyone involved, no matter the out come? We really need more stories like this in our lives...

I find it very funny how he keeps using the words that he learned from the ellen show (the one where she taught hugh larie about american slang)

Jamie's brilliant. What better way to get America's attention about a subject than a reality tv show?

Rod only came out when he realised that there were influential people and media going to be there. What a 180!! He is not sincere, but the most important thing is if this movement helps the people in this town and their kids. So whatever that takes, publicity etc.

Its stir fry, because it's easy for rookies and it's delicious. Isn't that obvious?

Shows me that when people want to do something, they can achieve great things.
This "Food Revolution" is inspiring at every levels. It lifted my spirit ...
(and being a Canadian living in Japan, gotta admit Huntington look like a great American city ... very nice town).

Respect to Rod for cooking with Jamie, but when he stuck that picture on squint at 9:18 I was angry.

Assistant: "Ha ha!"

LOL @ you guys not getting that this Rod guy is paid to play a certain character to add plot to the show. Of course the show is real, but they also need something to make TV and make it with an interesting plot.

It's been 4 episodes where he still cooks the same thing! Can't he cook something else ?!
rocksinoo 1 year ago
@rocksinoo Well, it's ridulously easy to whip up plus I imagine a good, easy stir-fry would make the transition slightly easier than would gourmet borsch soup or lobster thermidor. After all, most of these people haven't cooked so much as a potato in their entire lives.

@rocksinoo Its not whether can HE cook something else, Its can THEY cook something else? lol As he said in the first few episodes "We're trying something simple first"

@Broxi1979 Wad about the USA? How's the program turning out to be?
neopc14 1 year ago
Like a few people, part of me wonders whether or nor Rod was made to go against Jamie in the beginning, in a bit of a script like fashion, for if everyone was on his side, the whole story would get pretty stale. But even if it was, you have to admire him for finally seeing the story the way Jamie sees the revolution. That it affects families gravely.

@wheaten66 Who cares, it's intentional - for American TV, you gotta work with the average American sensitivity. It does get the message across, which is what matters as it IS important that people understand they shouldn't eat crap.
