The television program Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution touches on our concerns here only tangentially. It premeired last Friday on ABC. The show concerns Huntington WV which has the worst health of any US city and English chef Jamie Oliver's attempts to improve the local diet. It began in a grade school. What fascinated me was the school would only allow the students to eat with plastic spoons, no forks or knives. The cafeteria food was beyond rubbish, a breakfast pizza of scrambled eggs and bacon atop a cheese pizza for starters. But what fascinated me was the subject of forks. When Jamie finally persuaded the principal to use forks, several of the children claimed to have never eaten with one. They had to be shown how to use a fork. I am trying to imagine a setting in which a plastic fork is unbelievably exotic and just can't get my mind around it. The children appear to be bright and energetic and probably reared by wolves. Words fail me on this one; Jamie goes to a first grade class to give a talk about vegetables. He holds up a potato and asks who knows what this is? One boy responds it is a tomato. Apparently none of them had ever seen a potato. Nor a tomato. Just thought I would recommend the show for what it tells about contemporary eating habits which does touch on the subject of silver. People who get to be 8 years old with never using a plastic fork let alone a silver one bodes ill for the future of our beloved silver. IP: Logged |

I think this bodes ill for the future of America. What are their parents teaching them? Have they also never seen forks? They wouldn't use them at home? Did they eat with their fingers? Puzzling and troubling for the future of civilization.. IP: Logged |
