Jamie's real motivation
Its incredibly disappointing that it is almost impossible to have a conversation about better nutrition in America. This board is a good example of why that is. People are so quick to dismiss Jaime that they don't even bother to learn what his real motivation is. One thread calls him a hypocrite because he has the audacity to serve tiramisu in his restaurants. As if Jaimie's motivation is to ban all deserts in this country or as if he is saying a proper diet can't include any type of desert ever. People should at least be honest about Jamie's real motivations and intentions not just make them up so they can dismiss him. Here is the mission statement from his website
The Jamie Oliver Foundation is a registered charity whose mission is to empower, educate and engage as many people as possible to love and enjoy good food. This means learning how to cook, understanding where food comes from, and recognizing the power it can have on our health, happiness, and even finances. We do this through teaching, training and employment, and also by making good clear information available to as many people as possible.
http://www.jamieoliver.com/foundation/ The website also outlines how he is going about his work none of which includes banning food from being sold but rather giving people information so they can make better choices. At the end of the day people can dismiss Jaimie if they chose to but I don't think its to much to ask that people take the time to see what he is really doing before they do so. If people are taking the time to come on here and make posts then they can also take the time to learn about his real motivations before making an opinion on whether or not they agree with him. I don't think I will ever understand people that don't bother listening to others and instead just ascribe them a motivation. They then spend time attacking them based on the false motivation they put on that person and it leaves me wondering why not just stick to the what the person is actually saying/doing. If you don't like what Jamie is doing then his actions should be enough material to attack it doesn't seem necessary to make things up. share
