Chef Jamie Oliver isn't a angel


Food Network Chef Jamie Oliver inaccurate picture of household ammonium is no joke to those families that are now out of work. the bad part of this is people believe this man that has had a history of problems

In 2005, Oliver was widely criticised by animal rights groups for slaughtering a fully conscious lamb on his TV show, while PETA praised Oliver for showing the killing uncensored, claiming that it highlighted problems with the methods used within slaughterhouses for viewers at home. PETA spokesman Sean Gifford said that it "could turn the more diehard carnivore into a vegetarian." British TV regulator Ofcom reported they had seven complaints from the public.

Oliver has been known for his comments about other chefs and has spoken out against Marco Pierre White, who has been critical of Oliver in the past, and the notorious swearing of Gordon Ramsay.

In 2005, Oliver embarked upon his school dinners campaign to improve the quality of food fed to pupils. While the campaign was arguably successful, at the time it was a highly controversial shake-up for students and parents, some of whom believed that the students should have a healthy option available, but still be given the choice as to what they want to eat. In September 2006, Rawmarsh Community School, South Yorkshire, UK, made headlines after a handful of parents revolted against Oliver's lunch plan (in which all 1,100 pupils on site were fed two portions of fruit and three vegetables every day) by delivering junk food from local shops to the pupils through the school fence. One parent dismissed Oliver's food as "disgusting rubbish" and declared, "Food is cheaper and better at the local takeaways.”

In 2008 Jamie revealed on Chris Moyles' Radio 1 showthat he had never cooked a hard boiled egg (as a dish in itself). Jamie volunteered the information, with some embarrassment, when discussing Delia Smith's infamous 'How to boil an egg' gaffe.

In 2011, Oliver, an advocate of cooking meals from scratch and using local produce, caused controversy after it turned out the sauces used in Jamie's Italian in Glasgow were from an industrial park almost 400 miles away in Bicester. Oliver and Gordon Ramsay are spokeschefs for the "Big Fish Fight," which campaigns for sustainable seafood, but were criticised for their use of endangered fish.

Also in 2011, Oliver came under fire for lack of food safety protections in his restaurants and illnesses associated with under cooking mince meat that may have been contaminated with E.coli.

then his inaccurate picture of house hold Ammonium instead of Ammonium hydroxide video, http://youtu.be/wshlnRWnf30

 

I believe if I was over BPI I would be suing him over his video

I will be honest with you ,as I am unaware of the "pink slime " you speak of.
A good Butcher would never use those ingredients in their products surely ?

On another note: These chiefs that uk seems to send over to your country ,they do them selves no favours in the limelight
as we all know they have stuff that the media keeps bring to the surface every now and again.
A case recently where Mr Ramsey was found to out sourse the meals to one of his restaurants ,still claiming the they where made fresh in the kitchens in the restaurant ,I'm not sure if he knew this was happening as he was over in the US at the time.
Surfice to say no one is perfect.
Then another TV chief was found stealing from a supermarket,why I have no idea,as the guy is loaded.

pete, unfortunately, the press, or main stream media in this country is a bunch of vultures - always circling, waiting to pounce and amplify any perceived tragedy-all for ratings-
the meat Industry is has always been the target of sensationalism

the only profession that is consitently rated lower than politicians , is the media-they profit by tragedy,
