French fries are vegetables? Damn, potatoes are vegetables, but the entire frying, salting, and deep frying process kills anything healthy in the potato. I can understand why Huntington is so unhealthy now.
French fries are not vegetables, lol. They come from potatoes, but you fry the shit out of them so what comes out is devoid of any vegetable qualities whatsoever.
Wow I'm 16 and i weigh 124 and i eat oatmeal and a fruit for breakfast, a some sort of granola bar, salad, and juice for lunch and for dinner I eat whatever my mom cooks (home made food) and I think I'm unhealthy and out of shape :/
Eating healthy food means a chance of living a longer and a healthier life,eating junk food means the exact opposite,there are things that are out of our control,but there are things that are in our control and this is where we must focus.
french fries as a vegetable? No common sense? That can't be, I bet you 100% that its motivated by profit. They probably make more on french fries, so they call it vegetable to make it fit the guidelines.
this is really upsetting, i can understand that kindergartens are too young to make decisions for themselves but teens who are around 15 disallowing Jamie to place salad on their trays? I would've thought they'd be old and smart enough to know what they are eating and understand the consequences of eating crap on a daily basis. I do worry for these people, perhaps we need more education on healthy eating.. home economics.
so hard for the poor guy.. where the hell has commonsense gone in every day life??????? you do NOT need french fries as an option every single day.. if you take the fries away you save money, save their health and your conscience would be clear.. and remember not all vegetables are created equal.. depends on their preparation and cooking.. seems the USDA do not consider this at all :/
Wow, she is so critical of Jamies Menu, "we need to have a cup and a forth of vegetable", but where was that same critical eye when they were serving burgers and fries?
So many people are not aware that CARBS are not healthy and not needed. THats why he skips the fries..they are nothing but carbs, and fat. That combo will make you FAT...vegetables of the right kind wont make you fat.....Fat alone isnt dangerous..but together with carbs its wrong.
MidnightTea6 - are you really that dumb? Potatoes (uncooked) may not contain salt, sugar, fat etc, but the process of turning them into french fries (as highlighted by previous post) adds the fat, and the salt and the sugar. You really have to be moronic to compare fries to healthy vegetables. Healthy people all around the world weep for you!
@ibletoblet1 not to mention the complete lack of nutrients in potatoes as well as the fact that the potatoes get turned into sugar during the digestive process.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
The lady is absolutely right.
She is following the USDA guidelines to the letter.
This idiot celebrity chef is giving at teaspoon of chopped vegetables in a pile of noodles............that I GUARANTEE YOU are full of three times the allowed levels of salt and sugar.
The French Fries that he poopoos.....are POTATOS. They are NOT fried. They are within all guidelines for salt and sugar. They contain NO fat. A potato contains more vitamin C than a head of lettuce.
@catndryer Okay - how do you make fries (<- notice where the world comes from) without deep frying them in grease? Also - have you ever tried eating fries without salt? Because I assure you - no one would be loving fries/potatoes so much without considerable amount of salt added to them. Also - it doesn't matter of potatoes have any considerable amount of vitamins if they consist in great amount from starch - which we have just too much in our food.
@catndryer But they are deep fried. This pretty much removes all the nutrients and fills them full of grease. Obviously you have also been brainwashed by your countrys stupid school food system as well
God, is Rhonda completely incapable of thinking independently (yes, I know it's rhetorical)??? A mentally challenged hamster could figure out that Jamie's food is healthier than the prescribed alternative, and yet this twit has so rigidly conformed to frivolous guidelines that she'd rather kids eat fries than fruit and REAL vegetables. Argh, IDIOT!!!
i mentioned in the previous vid the scenario reminds me of the movie Take The Lead... but now the more i watch them even they, each of these kids remind me each of the movie characters' hs kids xD Jamie=Piere Dulane(spelling?) LoL!!
taking french fries from americans is like taking Rice from asian. hahaha on the good side.. i don't eat rice.. ( or at least that much or feel i need to with every meal )
How idiotic. They separate the vegetables into a boring salad which does not hit the children's lips. But hang on it has to be there segregated and as a tokenism. Sounds like vegetable racism.
Yes it's made from potatoes but how come french fries is considered vegetables, fresh and healthy vegetables, when it's already cooked with cooking oil containing fat? That woman is so narrow minded.
In Australia they changed the laws to improve the food at school. What they did though, to satisfy figures and government policies, none of the food providers that can't provide exact nutritional figures can sell their food. The result of it all is: less food variety, less choice of crap but only crap left. If you dare to say something you're the enemy. "We don't eat salad in winter", anglo saxon stupid idea about food and no idea!
I hate the amount of idiocracy and disgrace of the food system in schools like that it really does my head in to see that fruit and veg is optional and no one truely wants it. I admire what Jamie has done and is doing to improve the standard of health in Huntington schools
basically, Rhonda is furious that they're not serving enough french fries.lol..OMG! this show is such a HUGE wake up call. Are these people really really THAT ignorant? I had no idea such humans exist. I mean forreals? jflkdjfklads mindfucked right here.
The parents of that town should be absolutely furious. Those meal guidelines are there to save money and time. That's it. If health was a concern at all fries and ketchup would never be considered a vegetable. Potatoes already have starches in them, yes. Do you have to deep fry them? No.
Rhonda works for the USDA, the USDA is the handpuppet of the agricultural industry complex. That it is all just a big advertisement scheme is shown best that they STILL list dairy as a own food group in the plate scheme that replaced their horseshit food pyramid. She knows jack shit how cooked veggies look I think and fries as veggies really is as embarrassing as it gets, I know technically potatoes are a veg but with all the starch I treat them like just like rice, pasta or dumplings.
Yes, potato is a root vegetable. Vegetable need not be healthy, the cooking method needs to be considered as well... So, fries are generally unhealthy. If ur talking bout steamed potato, then its healthier. Vegetable are edible parts of a plant excluding the fruits and seeds.
@SloveintzWend well i just think it's ridiculous to count it in the veggie portion since it's so unhealthy. what's the point of having a required vegetable amount if you're going to let them fry it?
ketchup's made from tomato, doesn't make it a tomato. likewise, a french fry is not a veggie. wow she's stupid. also, these teens are almost adults...i find it ridiculous that jamie has to pretty much tell them to eat their vegetables. you're not 5, grow up.
1:45 even the lunch lady is smiling at how idiotic rhonda is.. psh! fries as a vegetable??.... agreed w/ foxeyfreddie.. only in america would this happen >_>
@SloveintzWend Cellulose is not digestible by human beings, therefore, although it is made of carbohydrates, it does not turn into calories once eaten, but is instead passed through the body as fibre. While potatoes are, without question, a vegeatble, what Jamie and others are trying to say is that it shouldn't be counted in the "vegetable" part of the diet, but rather as a starch, due to it's relatively low fibre and vitamin content (sans skin anyways) and relatively high calorie count.
@wendighoul The thing is, when you hear the word vegetable, that doesen't necessarily mean all vegetables are somehow good for you.
Just like it doesen't mean meat is bad in general.
Point is in preparation
Potato is a vegetable. Vegetables rich with starches are still vegetables. On the other hand, vegetables like peas ,beans and even tomatoes, carrots or whatever contain some degree of starch.
@SloveintzWend You are quite right, "vegetable" does not necessarily mean healthy. I believe the issue is the requirements themselves, what constitutes a nutritious meal is difficult to quantify, and it varies based on many factors. The guidelines seem more focused on appeasing certain lobby groups (i.e. the milk board), appeasing parents who claim to care about their children's health, just not enough to DO anything, and being as cheap and simple as possible.
yep, completely a double standard against Jamie's meal not having enough vegetables when the salad on the other line was optional and kids weren't taking it!
@crazyrandom3 well they are potatoes. But nevertheless they are very unhealthy because of the the grease. And no health wise they should not be considered a vegetable in that school.
Maybe a better question to ask should've been why the hell are french fries considered healthier vegetables than stir fry... or why the hell are french fries considered a substantial serving of vegetables in school lunch...
@crazyrandom3 Umm now sit down because this might be news to you and retard Jamie, but believe it or not, french fries are potatoes. And shockingly, it turns out, potatoes are vegetables. Crazy right? Who'd of thought!! Now, this might be another shocker, but oranges are fruit! Awesome stuff to learn...
she's saying there's not enough vegetables.. offcourse, french fries are all vegetable, just soaked in grease and salt.. geez how can she not have a bit of common sense..
so jaime's stir fry (7 different vegetables and all) is not worthy to grace the lunch menu but french fries are fine. i'm sorry, what planet did i just step into again?
if fries are a vegetables you can eat every day, all day, at Mcdonalds: soda with orange flavor for your fruits, fries for the veggie's and a hamburger also for a bit of vegiie's and for the meat. O yeah, a really complete meal!!!
FRIES ARE VEG? This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard! You'd die in a couple days eating only fries, Jamie's stir fry would keep you running far!
When I went to highschool (sweden) everyone took atleast alittle salad.. I know many teenagers and kids dont like salad but none of them took any?.. Thats kind of bizzare i think.
Rhonda has seemed like nothing but a hypocrite throughout this show. I'll give her the benefit of the doubt and say she can't be like that all the time in real life.
I love how she argues about the mixed vegetables not being enough of a serving, while saying French fries satisfy that requirement and that a slice of pizza is two servings of bread and OK, while a side of rice isn't. Wow just wow.
great classification that fries are vegetables....and the bitch rides Jamie because it doesn't "look" like a cup and whatever of vegetables?? Oh please...stupid associations...
It makes me sick that i used to eat this crap in school all the time. I'm so glad I changed my eating habits once I got to college. Eating healthy most of the time and eating this stuff as a treat is so much better; it taste much better when you haven't eaten it in awhile and feels more rewarding too
He is doing the job that the fail / corrupt US doctors are not doing except they are very happy to abuse capitalism and suck the money out of all families and bankrupt you and never go on TV and never protest the super corrupt FDA and monsanto supporting perverted agriculture (we can patent nature and get away with it BS) then turn around and screw your daughters that have managed to have good enough genes and habits to avoid overweightness.
Dude, if my high school had had so many nice options of food, like all those fruits... I actually would have eaten in the cafeteria back then. I can't BELIEVE all that good food is going to waste. Wow.
its a shame that Jamie has to speak in that stupidly annoying way by saying cmon brother r u gonna try some" would an american speak English british if they went too England i think not. no offence.
how much food does a kid need to eat in america ? 200 tons ?

@crazyrandom3 Umm now sit down because this might be news to you and retard Jamie, but believe it or not, french fries are potatoes. And shockingly, it turns out, potatoes are vegetables. Crazy right? Who'd of thought!! Now, this might be another shocker, but oranges are fruit! Awesome stuff to learn...

Rhonda has seemed like nothing but a hypocrite throughout this show. I'll give her the benefit of the doubt and say she can't be like that all the time in real life.

I love how she argues about the mixed vegetables not being enough of a serving, while saying French fries satisfy that requirement and that a slice of pizza is two servings of bread and OK, while a side of rice isn't. Wow just wow.

It makes me sick that i used to eat this crap in school all the time. I'm so glad I changed my eating habits once I got to college. Eating healthy most of the time and eating this stuff as a treat is so much better; it taste much better when you haven't eaten it in awhile and feels more rewarding too

Ryan: "I made a hundred and twenty, so we got 40 to mistake on"
Jamie: That's a good reason to burn it all"
That was a good one. ROFL. :D Kudos to Jamie's Team!

He is doing the job that the fail / corrupt US doctors are not doing except they are very happy to abuse capitalism and suck the money out of all families and bankrupt you and never go on TV and never protest the super corrupt FDA and monsanto supporting perverted agriculture (we can patent nature and get away with it BS) then turn around and screw your daughters that have managed to have good enough genes and habits to avoid overweightness.

This is why kids need to be home schooled. If you care about your kids and can do it, pull them out of public schools altogether.

@TheXHaley Technically, it is a vegetable; a starchy vegetable. Sad that it counts though.
