Celebrity Chef Jamie Oliver Aims For Nutrition Overhaul Of Los Angeles Schools

The Los Angeles Times (1/17, MacVean) reported, "Jamie Oliver, the celebrity chef who is beating the drums for a school lunch revolution, received a warm reception this weekend from hundreds of the people who make and serve food to children every day. It's the Los Angeles Unified School District that isn't so welcoming." According to the Times, "Oliver, who moved to Los Angeles with his family earlier this month, has so far failed to get L.A. Unified to reverse its decision not to let him - and his reality television show - into the country's second-largest school system." However, the "second season of ABC's Emmy-winning 'Food Revolution,' scheduled for spring, will go on with or without the L.A. school district, Oliver said last week."
