    Argomento: Jamie Oliver School Dinners – Il pranzo a scuola

    Famous British chef Jamie Oliver aims to revolutionise school meals in a new
    television series which wants to encourage children to eat healthier food. Filming for
    the programme, called “Jamie's School Dinners”, begins at Kidbrooke School in
    south-east London next week and it will be shown on Channel 4 in the near future.

    "I've been worried about what children eat in school for some time now,"
    Jamie said. “I've devoted most of the last year to actually doing something about
    school food."

    In fact Jamie is not the only one who is worried about the diet of British school
    children: a recent survey suggests that almost half of all secondary school pupils
    think school dinners are unhealthy. A market research group interviewed 460
    children across Britain for the study. They found 47% of 11 to 15 year olds were
    afraid that the school meals they were given could increase problems like bad
    nutrition and weight gain. Moreover, 58% were confused about what a healthy diet
    was and 41% said schools did not have enough space for proper sport and exercise.

    The survey also found that 26% of 11 to 15 year olds considered losing weight
    to be a health priority. According to the latest official figures 8.5% of six-year-olds,
    and 15% of 15 year olds are obese. Dr. Simon Jones, chairman of a leading health
    charity, thinks schools should give more good advice on eating habits. "Improving
    nutrition is clearly essential and schools play a fundamental role,” he commented.

    Jamie Oliver also said: "I've heard lots of pupils and parents saying how
    worried they are about the lack of good, nutritious and tasty food, so I'm going to try
    and solve the problem. For some children it's their only proper meal of the day, so it's
    crucial that school lunch provides them with something that's not just rubbish."

    The chef will make suggestions on improving dinners for schools around the
    country and said he will try to discourage children from eating foods such as
    hamburgers and chips, in favour of healthier alternatives such as cous cous - while
    keeping to a budget. “Good food doesn’t have to cost a lot and my school menus
    won’t,” Jamie promised. He is also convinced that healthy options are just as quick to
    prepare as fast food.
    The four-part series follows on from the success of the programme “Jamie's
    Kitchen” which was a winner for Channel 4. In that project Oliver selected and
    taught 15 unemployed youngsters and tried, in a short time, to make them into
    professional chefs to work in a new London restaurant called, appropriately,
    “Fifteen”.
