Author: Now this is reality TV worth watching. It is really good to see this from multiple levels. First, a reality show that is dedicated to truly helping people is long overdue. Hopefully it will catch on. Second, being recognized for doing work that will truly help one of the biggest problems around the world (obesity) is pretty cool.
The show, called Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution USA, will be on ABC this year. It is being produced by Ryan Seacrest (you’ve heard of that show called American Idol he hosts haven’t you?). Hopefully, this powerhouse lineup will ensure that this show is seen by a lot of people and truly shows people how to make healthy changes in their lives.
