The New York Times (3/31, D2, Severson) reports, "Friday night, more than seven million viewers watched the premiere of 'Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution,' an ABC reality series in which the British chef storms the kitchens of Huntington, W.Va., to improve the town's collective diet. That only the N.C.A.A. Division I men's basketball tournament pulled in more viewers signals that the nation has an appetite for the kind of wholesale food reform Mr. Oliver is pushing." Also, a Senate committee "on March 24 cut by more than half a proposal by President Obama to spend a record $10 billion more on child nutrition programs over 10 years, including school food," though stakeholders "who have been working with the Agriculture Department and Congress to improve school food say the bill's $4.5-billion increase is an historic improvement."
