Jamie Olivers’ Food Revolution Episode 4 starts off with him at the radio station talking to the Ron, the radio host, live. Ron is very skeptical of Jamie at first because he thinks Jamie is trying to do the impossible and taking things way to far. Ron said he was sick of all this health talk and no one wants to live off lettuce. You don’t have to live off lettuce to be healthy!! It drives me nuts when people think eating healthy is all about eating celery and carrot sticks. There are so many delicious healthy foods out there that taste amazing. According to Jamie and other health resources I have previously, healthy foods increase your mood,skin,eye sight, bones, hair, energy level,and even your sex life!
So Jamie bet Ron that if he can get 1000 people in the city of Huntington to cook and join him. Ron laughs and believes there is no way that that’s possible. The first day he advertised it no one came. Jamie then went to the high school and got a whole bunch of people and students to create a dance to do randomly in the middle of Huntington streets to get people to come to his kitchen and cook. The entire dance had to do with cooking and was unbelievable. It worked and got the towns attention. Within the next few days people were flocking to come help. Within the next few days he had up to 700 people. Jamie knew he needed more help and he wanted to show Ron the severity of not eating healthy and what obesity can do to people’s lives. He first took him to a funeral home. The two men in charge showed them the size of a normal casket and one of an obese person which was about 4 normal caskets put together. The funeral men then stated that one of the obesity caskets cannot fit in a regular car and there has to be a special van to place it in. Also, one has to reserve two spots in the cemetery for a casket that large. This is was the start of Ron’s transformation. He began to see this lifestyle people are living is much more severe than taken account for. After seeing that, Jamie’s anger, motivation, and desire to get these people to change was at its highest peak. He then took Ron to meet his team of students that help him cook. Marisa told the story of her father who she lost to obesity. Her story was devastating because not only did she lose her father figure but he was her best friend as well. She had a picture of him she showed Ron and he was a little over 400 pounds in the picture. Then another towns woman was there to guest speak to Ron about her son. She said her family has always lived the so called American life eating whatever they want including fast food never taking their healthy into consideration. She was also overweight but what made her realize the severity of this was when she took her 12 year old son to the doctors. The doctor said her son was at serious health risks being over 300 pounds. The mother was saying how guilty she felt because she took part in this. She let it get this far by not paying attention to health and the damage it really can do. She fought for Jamie’s side and said this revolution needs to happen. We need more people like Jamie. What really was match that lit the final stick of dynamite to change over to Jamies side, was when Brittany told her story. Brittany, being overweight, has struggled all her life with trying every diet in the book. Everytime she tells this story I cant help but tear up. Her emotions leech onto me and I can’t escape them. This girl is only in highschool and the doctor told her that there are spots on her liver and if she cant lose weight she will only have 5 to 7 years to live. Everytime Brittany tells this story she breaks down. I mean can you imagine what that must be like? Feeling so hopeless trying to lose weight and then having a doctor tell you, you may not even live until your 25 due to being overweight? Brittany expresses that Jamie has helped so much so far and has been such an inspiration. She said she is learning so much from him about eating healthy and how to make changes, and that without Jamie she would have never had this opportunity and motivation . Ron was instantly transformed after this. He wanted to help Jamie and the town of Huntington in a new way of living healthy. Jamie posted Ron as the 1000 picture during the big get together with the towns people.
The more I am watching this show, the more I am realizing how little people know about leading healthy life styles. I mean we live in a world where fast food exists on every other street corner. We live in a world where everyone lives from day to day like Nintendo Mario when he gets a star and receives lightening speed. Everyone is pressed for time. I truly understand that. Not everyone has the money to spend on high quality food. I also understand that. HOWEVER, you can live a healthy lifestyle by starting to care. You need to want to learn about how to eat healthy, what foods to get when your grocery shopping, what to make or get when your pressed for time. There are dishes you can make that will take faster to cook than the time it takes you to go to Mcdonalds and get Famystchockenous sandwhich. Yes, I said Famystchkenous on purpose and it was not a misspelling,. I decided to make my own word which is a combination of Fake and Mysterious put together. Revising the chicken to choken because its not real chicken. I use this word now whenever referring to fast food.

We need to get people to want to care about what they are putting into their bodies. The door to change is open all we have to do is get people to want to walk through. Each episode motivates me more and more. It makes me want to get involved in my town and see what I can do to make a difference. It doesn’t take superman or a magical creature to make change, all it takes to start is one human being to care.
