Of Turkey Twizzlers and Celebs

I was a bit surprised to find out that one of my wife's favorite celebrity chefs (on Tv, that is) is actually involved in a cause. He wants healthier meals for British kids. Apparently, he was appalled by what schools were serving kids. He made a documentary and then managed to get 271,000 signatures on a petition. Wow. Read more here...TV chef wins school lunch crusade.

People seem to be happy at what he's accomplished so far, but there are those who say what the prime minister promised him falls way below what is needed to curb a growing trend of obesity in Britain. Read more on that here... Like Oliver, children want more

How I wish we could have a similar discussion here in the Philippines. Unfortunately, we're unable provide the most basic of social services to many who desperately need it. Tsk!
