47. This is not what McDonalds in the UK is made from...

Our burgers are made from actual meat...So people point out we had Mad-Cow dieases but that is why the industry had to improve so people would buy beef. He also campaigned for raising the standards of how poultary and pigs are farmed too. I have been a big fan of Jamie Oliver since he started out as with The Naked Chef series. Many of his recipes are easy to use and user friendly for men that want to learn to cook. My own father has used his books which has drastically improved his cooking skills.
Some in UK give Jamie Oliver a hard time for daring to speak out and point out things like British school dinners were disgusting and helping to make our children obese. Also for being young and successful. It has been a huge fight for him because kids are used to diets of fat and sugar and their parents don't want to change their own bad diets so try to sabotage any introduction to healthy eating. In both the UK and the USA he is fighting against people that are hellbent on staying fat and unhealthy and passing it on to there kids. According to the message boards elsewhere they want to eat burgers made of pink slime.
He also does good things with his resturants. http://www.fifteen.net/
