He eventually changed, and that's great, but i felt like either creative editing made him look bad in the first place or i don't know.
There was just no rhyme or reason to his actions beforehand. Why was he so critical of jamie oliver in the first place? He just had this irrational hatred of lettuce and cooking healthy meals that i never got.
I don't think he hated eating healthy. I think he was just skeptical of Jamie and what he was trying to accomplish. Most people in the beginning thought Jamie was just making another reality tv show. It took time for a lot of people to understand Jamie was actually determined to force some change and help save lives.
I do think that they used some clever editing to overhype the tension between the two so that the Dog could "come around" in dramatic fashion during one of the episodes. When Jamie was personally trying to "convince" the dj that he had good intentions (taking him to the morgue, etc.) it just seemed like everyone was acting a little bit.
I think that the radio dj was playing a part. They wanted a bad guy so they had him pretend to not be interested at all in what he was doing. That might not be it, but it IS a reality show and they are known for doing these things.

I just thought the DJ was the arcetype of Americans as they come out in TV and here in most Imdb boards. They just cannot take criticism against their own country. If anyone even hints that the USA just MIGHT not be the best country in the world in exactly every aspect, they immediately take an aggressively defensive position. In most other countries, people can at least meet criticism and say "OK, I understand your point of view, and it's not all bad, but I happen to disagree for this or that reason". Americans are very quick to get aggressive and say "Who do you think you are to come here and have an opinion!?". The DJ was practically saying that it is an American right to slowly kill your children by overfeeding them.
shareThe Dawg, the radio DJ, was a total knob. I think he'd spent too much time in the tanning salon and fried his brains.
If I were Jamie, I wouldn't have given a fig about what this guy was broadcasting. Jamie trying to curry favor with this guy was ridiculous. The Dawg was simply screaming out for attention and I wouldn't have given him five minutes of my time. He was a perfect example of passive-aggressive bad boy behavior.
