Seasons & Episode
Jamie Oliver brings his Food Revolution to Los Angeles in the Season 2 opener, and things get off to a rough start when the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) refuses him access to their schools.
Jamie dresses as a tomato and distributes free healthy lunches outside a Los Angeles public school, hoping to garner parental support and gain access to the schools. Later, he meets a 17-year-old who fears she'll inherit her parents' diabetes.
MLA CEO Mike McGalliard delivers a shattering blow to Jamie and his 10 teenaged culinary students at West Adams Preparatory High School: They've been banned from serving food on campus. Heartbroken and defeated, Jamie makes an emotional plea to the kids' parents and gives the students a graphic reality check about what is really in the foods they're eating every day.
Jamie gets a break when he's given the chance to work with another school district, but before long, he's faced with another big obstacle. Also: Jamie Lee Curtis presents him with an award from the UCLA School of Public Health; and later, he tours an organic school garden in Santa Barbara, Cal.
A meeting with the district's incoming superintendent gives Jamie hope; Jamie puts together a cooking competition for students.
Jamie Oliver is here to start a revolution. The impassioned chef takes on obesity, heart disease and diabetes in the United States, where its children are the first generation not expected to live as long as their parents.
