Ep 3. Is It Me Or Have We Just Been Pushed Into A Corner?

In episode 3 of Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution season 2, titled "Is It Me Or Have We Just Been Pushed Into A Corner?", Jamie continues his mission to transform the eating habits of the people in Huntington, West Virginia.

Jamie's first order of business is to tackle the unhealthy food options available in the local hospitals. He meets with the CEO of Cabell Huntington Hospital and proposes a plan to introduce healthier options on the menu, such as fresh fruits and vegetables. However, he faces resistance from the hospital's food service provider and struggles to get his proposal approved.

Meanwhile, Jamie continues to host his cooking classes for the community, but attendance has dwindled since the first week. He seeks advice from a local pastor on how to get more people interested in attending his classes. Together, they come up with a plan to bring the community together with a potluck-style meal where everyone can share their dishes.

Jamie also visits a local elementary school to see how they are incorporating healthy eating habits into their curriculum. He meets the school's food service director, who shows him how they are making small changes to the menu, such as offering whole-grain options and reducing the amount of processed foods.

Lastly, Jamie takes a trip to Los Angeles to meet with celebrity chef Alice Waters, who is known for her focus on fresh, local, and sustainable ingredients. He learns from her about the importance of connecting with local farmers and the impact it can have on the community's eating habits.

Throughout the episode, Jamie faces various challenges as he tries to promote healthier eating habits in Huntington. However, he remains determined to make a difference and continues to find new ways to inspire the community to make positive changes.
