Thanks for watching!
I dislike Jamie Oliver, but what really did my head in was when the only mcdonalds in an airport i went to a few years ago was replaced by one of his burger places. I don't mind switching to a better burger, but when you're a broke student on a tight budget trying to get anything to eat on the way back from your only getaway, it's a kick in the teeth to find out your 2 quid burger is now about 16 quid.
Ended up getting food from a Japanese place instead and it was delicious
Japanese food is good tbf
@@phatmemer69 oh yeah man, 100% it was an upgrade in the end haha
In a way he achieved what he set out to, you didn't have a burger and had something better instead
@@jakescott6426 yeah but he priced a student out of a good burger same way he priced out a lot of school kids and their families
Swings and roundabouts
"A sex symbol for post menopausal women" Brutal. I would share this with my mum if she wouldn't die at the insult
yeah, the wall comes for them all and they all love a Beta SoyBoy with money because the Chad`s no longer want them...
for men AND women
Lies again? Nescafe Coffee
I’m post menopausal and I’m not at all turned on by him. At all.
It’s funny because it’s true (with some exceptions, Donat want to offend people her). I once saw my mother rewatching one of his late shows and asked her why (because he is horrible). Her answer was “but look at him he is so cute”. She didn’t address the “horrible cook” part.
I mean if it makes her happy, must say she watches the old ones where he looks very young and not so chewed by life.
Gordon Ramsey is a chef, Jamie Oliver is a celebrity cook.
Yes!
@@LilySaintSin Ramsey maybe a chef but hes still an arsehole.
Spot on
100%, Ramsey has Michelin stars Oliver probably only has Michelin tyres
@@jonlincoln6069 can confirm he does not have any stars. Don’t know about the tires though
In the school dinner show, Jamie learned early on that the problem was a lack of budget, but he still blamed the dinner ladies, parents, and students.
Im not a fan of Jamie, but he didn’t blame dinner ladies he blamed politicians, he said that several times as they control what schools could get
Jamie Oliver is the modern day Hitler.
@@macflod no, he did blame the dinner ladies, he insulted them horrifically, calling them cows.
@@bruzzunathtuch when was it?
@@macflod It was shown in the video. A former lunch lady (among others) asked him to apologize to her for the way he treated her years ago
I feel that the final nail in the coffin is uncle roger. A bunch of people now know him as the guy who fucks up asian food
Dan Olsen, him from Folding Ideas, took a really long run-up and booted the Mockney twunt right in his sadly-used testicles when he did his video on his obsession with turkey twizzlers and his hatred of poor people. Pointed out that his fancy version of chicken nuggets cost almost as much as the most expensive shop-bought brand.
JAM-ie Olive-oil
Thats delusional
Your average Brit has not seen the uncle CCP videos lol
@@zipperman6045 outside of the ccp shit i respect the dude
😂😂 the kids humbled him when he showed them the how a nugget is made and they still chose to eat it. Since the dawn of man people have used "scraps" to make other things. I find it hard to reconcile that a chef would not recognize that.
🤣🤣
I think it’s great to use the scraps because you’re wasting less food
@kellyst-hilaire9113 My Grandma alway's raised me to use the scraps, no wasting food.
@@illumindonnaughty mine too. Maximize everything
@kellyst-hilaire9113 I was in my last couple of years at High School when Jamie got involved with school dinners, it was a good thing because they did need changing from chips and burgers every day, kids did need some educating on healthy eating but he should of kept out of the sugar tax when he's never experienced real poverty.
How are u introducing a tax that targets the lowest earning people😂 and telling em to spend more on cooking
@@will123134 this is such a toxic and pathetic comment. Why attack someone for pointing out that low income earners got hit hard. Must be nice to not worry about money.
@@will123134 He should've campaigned to make healthy options cheaper instead of getting rid of the already cheap option, so morons like you wouldn't feel superior to others.
@@will123134 hahahah thnk ur well hard u dont u, right gordon ramsey
@@will123134 have you ever been to the shop😭😭? Serious question
@@lunchb0x1986 rice, potatoes, vegetables, cheap cuts of meat, seasonings are all cheap (could feed a family of 4 for
Plus Uncle Roger really made people think about Jamie Oliver cooking. Like I was watched Jamie Oliver shows before and never thought about how good a cook he is. But then he started to cook Asian food, I'm half Filipino, Half Japanese, and my grandparents one came from Thailand and one from china. So yeah it was horrific when I watch him cooked like I get that he want to make the recipe more easier to get for Europeans but goddamnit that was hard to watch. Specially when he crushed the tofu instead of cutting it.
He just did a video on Jamie destroying gado-gado. The destruction continues. He heard it was an "Indonesian salad" and literally thought it was a side dish like a Western salad. The man is clueless. Anyone could come up with a better recipe after 30 minutes of UA-cam research even if you never heard of it before.
@@jjryan1352 Yeah the man thinks he can just say things and change the recipe even though he is not saying what he actually doing is accurate. Atleast put something in the beginning saying "This isn't an actual recreation of the dish" because he is literally remaking it to his own image.
@@jjryan1352 and he fucking crushing the krupuk(crackers)
And that was bigger crime than war crime in Indonesia
@@iamabread9614 as a European, it just comes across as patronising like i love Asian cuisine and of course i cant make it as good as an Asian cook, but his recipes even I can tell are dumbed down and butchered.
@@nickchivers9029 Yeah there is a difference between Appreciation and outright butchering.
Also Ramsey is not a pretentious arsehole who thinks he’s above his station by dictating to children what to eat.
"Chicken nuggets made out of the bits you don't like such as bone, marrow, connective tissue": there's nothing unhealthy about any part of an animal. What's unhealthy are the preservatives, colouring and artificial additives. There are plenty of cultures around the world that use every part of the animal and have done so for thousands of years and who only began to become inflicted with diseases more common in western countries when they switched to a modern processed diet.
Plus he made a massive assumption that every single chicken nugget manufacturer don’t use breast meat which of course is ridiculous
Jamie's bullshit affected Ireland as well and I think I have more of a problem with fizzy drinks now as an adult than I did before
ayy least it aint crack lol
Yep, I used to mainly drink squash. Fizzy drinks were a treat every so often. Now it's impossible to find any squash that doesn't have the "no added sugar" label which all taste like crap due to artificial sweeteners. One of the few drinks companies that refused to change their recipe was coca cola, which I now drink more than ever before, despite knowing it's not great for me.
Because your willpower is 0 and you clearly haven't tried. Just drink soda water. Stop blaming other people for your own problems.
@@pollos6631 you realize I'm not talking about a crippling addiction it's more just I have a big temptation cause it was denied so harshly where in school kids going and buying stuff like cole were treated worse than the smokers lol, I generally stick to water and sugar free stuff though anyway.
@@wurble crisps in my area now have 50% less salt 🤦🏾♀️.
I remember in my school a slice of pizza was 90p and it was all my mum could afford, she gave me £1.10 everyday for food so 90p for pizza and 20p for toast in the morning. The pizza was scrapped and the cheapest thing on the menu was pasta at 2.20 and I didn’t want to ask my mum for more money because I knew she couldn’t afford it so I just didn’t eat lunch at school. Jamie wouldn’t make healthy school meals off his own back without making some sort of profit: benefit out of what he done.
Why didn't you get free school dinners?
@@beatonthedonis my mum only just earnt over the minimum threshold
@@ClocloX This is why I think school dinners should be free for every child.
@@beatonthedonis i agree, his food revolution method should be a free meal for the students as not everyone can afford expensive meals and thus resulting in cheap bad food.
In japan, if i remember correctly schools have good lunches and veggies from local farmers. Though i think these are select schools only but i guess thats better than not having any at all.
Gee's my mom use to pack me a lunch for school growing up. Even fresh baked from scrath apple pie. I don't know why your mom didn't make lunch for you. I find that to be sad.
Gordon can be a bit of a twat but Oliver made it so that a whole generation of kids don’t know about traditional puddings. Unforgivable!
You brits and your puddings🤣
Nah, Gordon's actually a good person.
@@TheFLAMEXD Exactly. Jamie Oliver horrifically insulted lunch ladies just for serving food
He doesn't care about the lives of people, he cares about what they eat and look like, He's a typical vegan karen.
It was filled with good intentions, but in reality we ended up with just really bland 'conventional' healthy food, that led to people buying loads of sweets with their lunch money instead lol
Great vid btw
thanks!
It wasn't even healthy. My school had a shitty dinner room that could fit 200 of the 800 students trying to cram in there.
Every day I'd just grab a yahoo, chocolate brownie and a ham and cheese panini because they were easy to hide in my pocket and take outside.
Yep, red bulls and haribos - we all just switched to high intensity sugar and caffeine
The road to Hell is paved with good intentions!
I like how the kids saw how chicken nuggets were made, thought it was some sort of alchemy, and wanted to eat them
I also dislike Jamie Oliver but the man's banned made me good cash in the mid 00s. I was raking £60-70 a week selling fizzy drink. That with my paper rounds was getting me up to £100 a week sometimes. I seriously had more disposable money at age 14 until I was like 26.
Dealer
Hahaha legend 🤣
I grew up on Jamie Oliver meals and I can say a good 90% of the recipes we're either overpriced, downright horrible, or required tools and ingredients an average family could not get easily
Sounds like he raised you lmao
😮😮😮😮.....
What do you mean by Jamie Oliver meals? The Italian food he often cooks on his TV shows?
Having been a chef, Jaime Oliver really was never respected in the industry. His high-production Naked Chef program inspired a lot of people to cook at home and made home cooking "cool" with its Brit-pop soundtrack etc, but he's a narcissist who got greedy. He was an average chef who got incredibly lucky and in the end, got exposed for the fraud that he is. Before he went bankrupt he and his brother-in-law (who he hired as his accountant 8 months previous) bought large multi-million-pound houses. They both knew his business was on the ropes, and still purchased the properties. Then when the "Empire" collapsed he cries, "I'm just a chef!" Okay...So why did you have your signature on over 100 products at one point? Thanks, chef!
JO couldn't do a Kitchen Nightmares-type programme because he doesn't know how to open and run a business in the first place. He did try...sort of. He placed an inexperienced chef in a pub. This guy was supposed to manage and run this pub by himself. Absolute disaster! The poor guy was on the verge of a nervous breakdown and had to be removed from the situation. I asked a friend of mine (who worked for JO company), why put this inexperienced young man in that situation. She replied "It's a TV show produced by his TV company...Some of us were strongly against it but had no real say in the matter."
His company was full of sycophantic yes-men who shouted down others if they had alternative ideas or opinions to Lord Jaime.
And what is left of the "Empire" ...? Sandwiches and meal deals at petrol stations...Case closed!
another issue with Jamie Oliver is the fact that he isn't even a professional chef. At the end of the day, Gordon Ramsay has several successful restaurants spanning multiple continents, Jamie is a tv cook, and nothing more. Oh and also Jamie's comment about Ramsay after Ramsay's wife had a miscarriage its quite disgusting. if you want comedic takedowns of Jamie Oliver, I do recommend you watch Uncle Roger
You don't land a job with Antonio Carluccio or as a sous-chef for a Michelin star restaurant for no reason. Jamie had talent. Until BBC spotted him right at the rise of his cooking career and frankly, ruined it. That's when he became a celebrity chef, cooking what only looks good for television and doing those publicity stunts. TV ruined him, end of story.
@@yankis.Don't act like Jamie is some innocent victim.
that clip with the school kids raising their hands kills me. he really thought he'd done something there. i'll never get what's so wrong with using parts of an animal that would otherwise be wasted to make an inexpensive, tasty food item that kids enjoy. yeah, chicken nuggets definitely shouldn't be the only thing they eat, but it's still just food. maybe work on eliminating food deserts and expanding nutritious foods just as an option for kids to try than moralizing and restrictively managing the nutritional choices of freaking babies
It's a classist notion that certain parts of the animal are below the consumption of decent human beings.
The problem with chicken nuggets isnt neccesarily the meat, its the coating and the seed oil/trans fat.
I honestly wouldn't mind if he had taught the kids that wasteful parts can still be used to make food. The bones don't necessarily have to be crushed to become nuggets, it could be made as stock, sauce, etc something for flavour. Hell, homemade nuggets are even better since you know what goes into making the nuggets instead of the store bought ones.
It’s easy for Jamie to lecture people on the food they eat when you can spend a lot of money per head on the food. His restaurants and the recipes in his books are notoriously expensive. For context I’ve worked in industrial catering for thirty plus years. That’s the kind of cooking that’s done in workplace canteens, hospitals and schools. The amount that is spent per head for three meals a day in a hospital wouldn’t buy you a drink in one of his places.
It’s easy to spend a lot of money to buy good quality ingredients when your a multi millionaire.
@@will123134 only true if y oof u're content to eat bean casserole every day.
All that money still can’t buy him what matters most. Stars
I get that you have some credentials , BUT you know, poor countries exist. In India they cook their food and its healthy and tasty and all that. They don't live on fish and chips there and manage to survive. The most expensive thing in food is always the protein. What makes food unhealthy is the sugar and the rancid cheap seed oils. And you dont have to be a millionaire to bake 1 kilo of potatoes with chicken legs some olive oil on top and under a tin foil in the oven lmao.
@@alexforce9 yeah, i was gonna say this too. Its not a matter of cost really it's about culture. Go to countries like Asia and you'll immediately see the difference. Kids love their comparatively healthy and interesting school meals. When society as a whole takes more interest in food, there is more of a will to make it happen.
Tbh. Its still bad whan this places make unhealthy food..ya the baget is low. And thats sad and should be changed. But giving kids oil and sult filled food whit close to zero nutrition value is also very very bad
I was part of the generation that's school meals where ruined by Oliver. Because of him my primary school took away tomatoe sauce, Thursday launch was the worst because it was a burger with mash potatoes and peas. No sauce at all just bland food
What’s wrong with mashed potatoes and peas?
@@mrcritical6751 It's shit without sauce, no flavor.
@@brandonnesfan I will not take mashed potato slander good sir
@@mrcritical6751 I reckon they took away your dictionary also 😂😂
@@markmoran916 seriously i don’t get the issue with mashed potatoes and peas, they’re great
“Egg fried rice, an absolute classic”
“Yes you can do this as a side dish”
“I’m gonna make gado gado, which is basically a supercharged salad”
“It will give it the ultimate pimpage”
“NOW I NEED TO SPANK IT”
He should of just remained a TV chef, he could of been as good as Ramsay, even could of followed something like Kitchen Nightmares.
Totally agree
Big difference here - Ramsay focused on saving one restaurant at a time with KN, Oliver tried to change a bloody nation!
Disagree. Ramsay has a culinary education and actually knows what he’s doing (most of the time). Jamie Oliver manages to make edible food only on a good day. He’s an Epicurious Level 1 Chef.
😂😂😂 he would never been as big as Ramsay!
Oliver isn't a chef and never was though. He couldn't even keep his own restaurants running, so he's not fit to lace Ramseys boots.
Continuation of this video could be:
More recently, a popular stand-up comedian Nigel Ng (also called Uncle Roger) pointed out many flaws in his “traditional” Asian foods. Most noted, his egg fried rice recipe he reviewed indeed make “our ancestors cry.” Putting in arguably incorrect ingredients, causing a fraudulent tradition to be made among Uncle Roger fans and the many Asian people that saw the videos. There is currently no comment that Oliver made regarding Uncle Roger. After his review, he changed his titles from “Traditional” to “Jamie’s” in some recipes.
Uncle Roger is one of the most annoying characters I've seen on here. Not defending Jamie, but Roger isn't exactly great either.
Oh look, some low-level Jamie Oliver fan who is in denial of being a fantard spotted.
Recently I’ve seen that uncle Roger has toned down his act quite abit, to not sound too aggressive and critical. Nowadays he tries to point out if ingredients or methods used are correct to give benefit of the doubt to the chef/cook, that they’re doing the right things,but if they’re wrong he’ll criticise and joke about it all day. And oh boy, Jamie got plenty of steps wrong.
Let's all just be real for a second. It was the chicken nugget video. That's all it was. It was the moment he revealed to the world that he isn't an everyman.
poor dude. He pissed off Spanish for his chorizo paella and pissed off Chinese and all asians for his chili jam egg fried rice
And just because someone means well, doesn't mean they are doing well.
Spot on
my mom had one of his cookbooks. awful, flavorless food.
I distinctly remember dreading when my mom would make his chicken and potatoes. it had no seasoning. tasted awful.
my dad was an excellent cook. he made a ton of Persian food and a really excellent chicken/caper dish with spices and flavor.
he was not around often because work, so usually I’d end up with Jamie Oliver’s bland ass food.
Not to bash England but I would certainly take Persian food over British food any day
the clip with the chicken nuggets and his reaction to the kids still wanting to eat it, you can see him break inside.
He took our turkey twizlers! In all seriousness though I went to school when all this change happened and kids are fatter now than we were then. We might've had chips for lunch but we also walked to school every day, played out after school etc. We all had that one fat kid in our year groups but I've seen kids these days with bigger tits than me, a lot of them.
Dude was too posh, he didnt hate nuggets cuz of the addatives, he hated it cuz they were "dirty" used "bad" parts of the bird.
Its called being resourceful idiot, not wasting the bird, his nuggets looked good too, why he hating?
*Britain's Greatest Chef*
Gordon Ramsay > Jamie Oliver
*KING OF EGG FRIED RICE*
Uncle Roger > Jamie Oliver
Also, typical celebrity who gives his kids the most ridiculous names. It starts kind of normal with “poppy honey Rosie” and the most recent one is called “River Rocket Blue Dallas”. Yes, all of those are his first name. Poor kids
Didn't Jamie try in one of his Food Revolution episodes to get a burger fast food restaurant to claim a smoothie was a milkshake? Like he told the owner to replace the ice cream with yogurt, and the owner was like "That's a smoothie"? If that's true, then how the hell does a chef confuse a smoothie with a milkshake? Or think that it's right to scam customers into drinking smoothies by claiming they're milkshakes?
Worked in his restaurant and it was the biggest shitshow second only to Russia taking Kiev in 3 days
A Malasian comedian, Nigel Ng, (Who plays the character Uncle Roger) has several videos critiquing Jamie Oliver's attempts to cook Asian dishes. And he does not hold back his punches!
And Jamie has failed to respond, so he continues to roast him. Gordon took it in stride and even reached out to him.
@@jjryan1352 Uncle Roger even had a cameo in Hell's Kitchen.
@@player2-lightwater914 yes that's what I meant by that. Thanks for specifying one of the several events between them.
Just say Uncle Roger.. no nees tk explain who he is FFS
@@dads1962 Wrote that before he blew up in Thailand. Maybe he was better known than I knew.
I’ve been to Jamie’s restaurants on several occasions, namely Jamie’s Italian and Barbecoa.
The food was average at best but grossly overpriced.
Jamie didnt even consider the ramifications in terms of finances with the changes he made. He was naive thinking that his methods would be affordable with most people. I mean yes it is good to eat his food but at the end of the day if they are priced way high and with salaries being so low you kinda get why people would get mad at him for removing the cheap unhealthy foods.
Taking the "waste" part of the animal and making it into things people want to eat like hot dogs and chicken nuggets is the responsible and ethical thing to do. Jamie Oliver would rather it go to waste.
He had a hand in the sugar tax which ruined Irn Bru in the process. I won't forgive him for that.
I will never forgive this man for getting rid of turkey twizzlers
Talks about healthy food while not being in the best of shape. He not obese but he could be in better shape.
Gordon really respect food and culture.. and he always keep learning from others.. thts why i always love him
He’s a master chief but occasionally he’s a student to other chiefs.
did u eat at Gordon Ramsay restaurants?
You missed out how he’s a massive hypocrite about calorie counts as the meals in his restaurants were noted as having more calorific content than a McDonald meal that he’d campaign against. His whole agenda is a class driven attack on the poor, nothing more.
You know who else contributed to his downfall? Uncle Roger LOL
He was always subpar but what is most weird about him is his kids names and that they're more suited to pets. Poor kids. Poppy Honey Rosie, Petal Blossom Rainbow, Daisy Boo, River Rocket Blue and Buddy Bear
What?😱
Those kids will grow up to become a teletubbies ripoff
Those sound like nicknames you give to kids when they are young, like 5 or younger, and then only use later in life when you intentionally want to embarrass them.
I hope my “downfall” leaves me with 200 million quid and five houses, that will be some downfall right? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Also because Gordon Ramsay actually trained under some of the top chefs in the world including Marco Pierre White and Joël Robuchon who was the top Michelin star rated chef in the world before he died with 32 Michelin stars all at once under his belt and he mentored Gordon Ramsay. I mean no disrespect to Gennaro Contaldo who trained Jamie Oliver. Gennaro Contaldo is an Italian Legend and one of the most respected chefs in London and I’m sure he’s probably disappointed in Jamie Oliver too
Gennaro Contaldo is alive and kicking at 75 and even has an active youtube channel. He apparently has a good relationship with Jamie: appearing in several of his shows, as well as youtube videos, and is even a business partner of his.
McCain smiley faces becoming endangered species because of this bloke
Ive seen them back at Tesco, nature is healing
He wants healthy eating but he himself is fat. Also banning fatty food won’t stop children stuffing their faces at home
i worked in the first jamies italian in oxford when it opened. we got to see first hand the bullshit he was peddling. he was charging high end quality restaurant prices for food that was no better than trashy high street chains like zizi or bella italia. plus the wages were fucking atrocious and we were expected to work up to 14 hour days with maybe a 20 minute break
14 hours days with a 20 minute break sounds illegal
@@tdoran616 it is, but thats just how the restaurant industry works
@@rasspliffari when I worked 12 hour nights I was given two breaks, it was the norm. My sister works in the restaurant industry as a chef so I’d have to ask her personally what it’s like for her.
@@tdoran616 its about how busy you are, places like jamies were crazy busy with the minimum possible staff. we had no time to take breaks because there was literally nobody else to take our place
You can't compare those two. Ones a multi award winning, multi Michelin star winning and currently holding chef who's had countless great TV shows that cater for a certain audience and is humble enough to know when he's defeated and bite the bullet and make things right.....the other is Jamie Oliver. Boil in the bag chef, microwave pinging fraud.
Jamie is great if you are starting to cook because of the simplicity and because most of the recipes can be done in a pretty short time. If you are already more advanced Gordon got my way to go.
I remember I was finishing my GCSEs when the patronising plonker launched his campaign. I assumed he was OK at first, but then he started telling people that these kids would die before their parents, without any proof.
Then he started gassing baby roosters live on air then feeding them to a snake to show that's what happens in factory farming (I doubt they use snakes to dispose of them), which is like torturing someone in front of a crowd to promote Amnesty International.
Just watch Uncle Roger react to Jamie Oliver and you will see what he does wrong
When I saw what he did to Asian food I understood why his Italian restaurant failed. He should stick to British food.
@@jjryan1352 I thought he is great at Italian food.
@@jjryan1352Artoria take offense to that.
Even Gawain… the potato man.. is more impressive cook than him.
I used to have fried chicken and chips at school. It was called chicken Dixie but this man took that away from me lol. 20 years later I still hold a grudge lol
Uncle Roger already sensed that something was wrong when he put chilli jam in egg fried rice. Haiyaa.
Jame Oliver was also fighting the accountants as he forgets that cafeterias need to turn over a profit. They’re not loss making.
So unless Jamie Oliver wants school kids to pay an extortionate amount for each school meal they buy, the cafeteria is limited to what ingredients it can use.
I’ve never eaten in a Jamie’s Italian, but I’d be interested in how affordable the menu was?
Uncle Roger is happy
@@stewiegriffin4828 oh you should watch him roasting Jamie Oliver down to the bones 🤣
Jamie Oliver is a classic example of letting the fame getting to his head.
Gordon Ramsey pretends to be a food villain on TV.
Jamie Oliver is an actual food villain.
He notorious from butchering traditional recipes with his weird twists.
Healthy food does not have to be bland and tasteless
He ruined my school dinners as a kid. Was good one year then terrible the next. Hate him
Therapist: Fat Jamie Oliver can't hurt you
Fat Jamie Oliver: 1:41
I think the biggest issue with the whole idea is that there is some assumption that giving kids healthier food early on will lead to them being healthier when they get older. This is, in my opinion, simply not true. Some of the people at uni were raised on healthy foods in middle class families, where they ate wholesome square meals around the dinner table…those were often the most rebellious and hedonistic - drinking to excess, screwing and shovelling pizzas down their necks every night. Children grow up and become teenagers, then adults. They develop feelings for causes and opinions of their own.
I went to school before any restrictions were placed on meals. We used to get offered hot dogs, pizza, burgers, cakes….there was nothing healthy about it at all but many of my friends are now vegan, two of them are PTs, one of them is a martial artist. I have no friends around me from school who are massively obese and unhealthy and they have all learned to understand the value of eating fruit and vegetables. I feel that the ones who live off takeaways and ice cream are simply choosing to do so with the full knowledge that it is not healthy, and trying to ‘educate’ them when they were a child would have had absolutely no impact whatsoever.
I can speak from personal experience when I say that as a kid I could have whatever sweets and fizzy drinks and chocolates I wanted within reason. I now barely eat anything sweet at all. Is it because someone came into my school and told me they were bad? No, it’s because I f**king GREW UP.
Another thing I would say is that this whole utopia of preparing fresh food for your kids every day, dining around a beautiful oak table adorned with fresh fruits, with freshly baked bread spilling from a terracotta bowl…just isn’t realistic. Many families struggle and can’t afford for one parent to be a stay-at-home hoovering, cleaning and cooking all day- especially single parent families - it’s incredibly hard to hold down a full time job while cleaning and tidying around your kids, doing school runs, washing and drying all their clothes and finding ways to keep them entertained. Jamie Oliver has a very privileged life and doesn’t personally understand how emotionally and physically exhausting life can be for parents. Just educating them not to give their kids sweets and to cook everything from fresh solves nothing. Many parents are suffering from depression and anxiety and struggling to make ends meet, so the lifestyle Jamie wants them to build is simply no attainable. There needs to be a more deep rooted fix within society and the help parents get to truly fix the problem. Simply telling kids nuggets are dirty will do nothing.
Based comment
Eating healthily doesn't have to be complicated or time consuming. I don't think it's ever a bad idea to educate children on the importance on good nutrition and adults are responsible for their children's wellbeing (physical as well as mental and emotional). It's just the way Jamie has gone about his campaign that's been wrong. Like you said: he comes from a place of privilege and has tried to impose his way without understanding the struggles that lead people to make the choices they do. I also think it's important to have some balance. When I was raising my child, we'd have junk food night once a week which would satisfy her cravings for unhealthy snacks, but I'd make sure to educate her the rest of the week on the importance of a healthy diet (following the 80/20 rule: a little junk occasionally won't hurt the average healthy person and junk food night was our version of 20% of the rule). She went through a rebellious stage when she was younger when she wanted to eat nothing but fast food but now that she's an adult she at least has the knowledge to make healthy food choices as well as the skills to prepare simple, easy, quick and healthy meals on a budget for herself if she wants to. I think the important thing is to not to make a moral issue out of it. At the end of the day, as adults, we're each responsible for our own choices and what's right for us (our life, wallet, time and general health which includes various things besides diet).
@@anta3612 I totally agree that educating children on the value of nutritious food is important, although this was always a part of school for me anyway. We learned about fibre, protein, carbs and staying healthy. Schools also promote activity through PE, swimming and whatnot.
The main problem with Jamie is his privilege. Multi millionaires who can afford to work whenever they want, who can afford to let their wife be a mum and run her own little kids fashion line in her spare time, who live in a £6 million mansion…their advice just doesn’t sit right with people who have to buy all their food in the economy range at the supermarket and can barely afford to heat their house. It comes across as patronising and ill-judged. Privilege and wealth buys you leisure time and luxuries that make it hard for you to appreciate how much it sucks to keep your kids happy and busy when you don’t have any money
@@PotatoPirate123 Totally agree. It was the way Jamie went about things that was wrong. I think he wanted to get healthy food on the menu in schools which makes sense since for many poorer children their school dinner tends be the only full meal they get all day. However, while making better quality food available is never a bad idea, it's not enough: it's also up to parents (and teachers) to teach children the importance of healthy food choices (in a non patronising way). I've found that by allowing a little junk once in a while (as opposed to completely banning it thereby making it forbidden fruit: all the more tempting) kids tend to be more willing to also consider healthier options when/if given the choice. However, if one doesn't have the choice (at home, for example, due to various difficulties), then all the lectures in the world are not going to do any good and are, rightly, just going to get people's back up. I'll also add that if schools are setting a poor example by providing only low-quality food, then being taught about fibre, protein, carbs etc. is rather pointless. It remains an abstract notion divorced from reality if schools don't also provide a healthy choice of food on their menu. At any rate, it seemed that Jamie's attitude was one of shaming which is not cool especially, as you said, he's in a position of privilege and hardly the right candidate to lecture those whose circumstances are less affluent (though those sort are precisely the types who tend do just that).
It wasnt really for uni types, it was an idea to get nutrients into the poorest kids in society, irrespective of what happens later
The British dinner epidemic destroyed the chances of me even attempting to eat school dinners growing up, I literally chose to starve than eat.
What is the British dinner epidemic?
Jamie Oliver clearly forgotten the part about the chicken bones has essential mineral --- CALCIUM 🤦♀️
Since chicken bones were 1 of the ingredients that he hated for chicken nuggets, he botched it for those kids that went without it.
Had he done better in chemistry & knew the periodic table, as well biology, he wouldn't screwed up so badly.
You forgot his enemy.
Uncle Roger
So the EU wide sugar tax is apparently this one man's fault. Nice. Another reason to detest the person currently campaigning to make take away food illegal.
Ok.. believe that.....
Uncle Roger is one of the antagonist that Jamie Oliver can't overcome in his story : p
Jamie dont even give a shit to that rando
What killed his restaurant chain was the food was overpriced microwaved crap, the white house wine was brought to the table in a plastic bag, opened and poured into a carafe. It was not chilled at all, and none of the staff cared at all.
Another difference between Oliver and Ramsey is Ramsey came from nothing. His mother was a nurse and his father was a swimming pool manager and majorly abusive to his kids and wife. He wanted to be a footballer but had to stop after destroying his knee. Which is where he turned to culinary and worked his arse off until he began working for Marco Pierre White who mentored him. Gordon Ramsey has built up a very succesful empire both as a chef with 17 Michelin stars across his Restaurants, and as a celebrity.
Now sure Jamie Oliver has also worked his arse off to learnt he skills he had, but his parents owned a restaurant, where he started learning skills. It was far easier for him to work his way up than Ramsey. When it comes to being healthy too, Ramsey is someone who does triathlons and alot of cycling, even at his current age, last month he was involved in a nasty bike accident. Gordon is very much someone who can sympathise with poorer people because that's where he came from.
Jamie is the classic work colleague who knew 2 right things, but with his confidence and surrounded by morons he became a leader
It's cause of this bloke I don't like the majority of breakfast cereal anymore. They took so much sugar out to keep below the sugar tax level that they taste totally different.
Jamie oliver is a cook. He's not trained there for not a chef.
One difference is Gordon is also a talented chef
Did school dinners in the uk really change to healthy food? I left school in the early 2000's and we could eat what we want in the canteen , most people had chips lol
Yeah. I remember clearly starting year 7 in 2007 and the vending machines and everything disappeared the same year. We had chips on a friday and that was it. He is a wanker.
Even nowadays we have chips on Friday in my school, and on other days we have shit like curry, chicken, and other shit
Then again outside on Friday I can eat packed lunch in the canteen (although they once doubled down on that)
Yep. I was in early secondary school when the reforms came in. Went from having tons of options, healthy and unhealthy, available every single day with plenty of drinks and stuff on offer in the fridges, to almost no choice at all. School lunches became shit with like one or two meal choices a day and ironically it just drove people to a more unhealthy diet because it tasted trash so we would just go into town and get kfc or something instead.
Funnily enough the chips probably have more nutrients than the watery tomato pasta they were also serving.
@@SegaMegadrive well chips are just potatoes and curry is just rice with random ingredients and spices so..
0:48 and none of them compare to good old Dehlia Smith! Taught more British people how to cook actual food that you'd cook at home and not "restaurant food" than anyone ever. Do a campaign fine good message. But don't preach patronizingly and force things on people.
Let's see... Gordon Ramsay has been awarded 17 Michelin Stars (ranked 3rd in the world) vs. Oliver that has... how many?
It's totally crazy that people blame him for trying to make kids wat healthier. I guess it makes sense that we suffer from child obesity nowadays. His intentions were good and one cannot blame him tgat people cannot afford to eat healthy. It's the politians that we need to hold accountable. He is simply a scape goat...
As someone who went to school during the whole Jamie revolution thing, I'm actually thankful that he fixed the disgusting American-style food that was being served to us young-uns
Same. I couldn't stand turkey twizzlers or fizzy drinks, and by the time was a teenager, school dinners were actually edible.
@@elvewizzy What country are you in? I'm in the UK and we had the option of bringing our own, eating at school, or going to the shop up the road.
Exactly. He isn't a great chef but in the end he did make British people aware of nutrition which was sorely lacking
The food itself was a good change. I think that scuppered him was the fact it all got more expensive and schools used the opportunity to change prices/payment things while the focus and bad press was on Oliver.
It was bad, people forget that. And there's every reason to believe it would have gotten worse if Jamie hadn't put so much attention on it.
Got too big for his boots 👎🏻
Jamie Oliver's downfall satrted when he involved himself in politics.
I remember in Masterchef Canada Season 4, Jamie Oliver was the guest judge for Mystery Box challenge and the winner of the challenge will have the dish as the menu of Jamie's Italian only later the restaurant got closed. What a waste of Mystery Box challenge.
I feel bad for kids and adults who had to learn from Jamie Oliver's recipes.
And yeeeaaahhhh, my mom actually likes Jamie Oliver, even tho I showed her Uncle Roger reacting to Jamie's Egg fried rice video, she still didn't believed that his food is crap. ^^"
dont you dare have a 2 for 1 pizza......unless its at my shit restaurant.
I was in private event where he talked about his cruzade to serve healthy food in schools and his worries about british unhealthy diets. The canapes served in that event were little hot dogs, hamburguers and other greasy fried stuff.
After seeing his so called “veggie lasagna” no wonder why his restaurants closed.
Say what you will about him but I've followed quite a few of his recipes and they've always been pretty good.
Oh yeah don’t get me wrong bro my mum uses his recipes 🤣
Uncle Roger disagrees
If you cook fried rice with water in the middle of it. You are no longer welcome in asia
Here is knife… apologize to the human by removing yourself of the census.
You are not need in the gene pool.
May fried rice rest in piece
Couldn’t have happened to a better bloke, Ok he was a breath of fresh air when he first came on the scene as the naked chef etc but he literally got to big for his boots with his preaching about school dinners etc
Please do not call him a chef. HE is just a cook
I walked past a couple of his restaurants while they were still open. The menu was ... unexciting ..., and the prices extortionate, even for central London.
I seriously think the worst that epitomises Jamie was him butchering Spanish paella when he use chorizo and thn dismisses critics bt saying "it simply tastes better" by insulting the Spanish saying they don't know how to cook their own national dish. That behaviour is borderline arrogant and he deserves thoroughly all the hate
One of the things that's annoyed me the most is how he's shamelessly slapped his brand name on every product going. He turned himself into a brand name and used it to sell absolutely anything and everything.
His sugar tax ruined my favourite mars bar drink. It tastes terrible now. I’ll never forgive this man!
The fact Jamie Olive Oil still has a career is baffling me.
Jamie now is just a laughing stock for what he did cooking nonsense.
Gordon however he wanted to learn about the food across the globe, and make it the right way not the white way.
I only knew Jamie exist after watching uncle roger reaction videos lol
His face after „now who would still eat this“ was priceless
