Advocates for Animals called it a "brutal slaughter no compassion or respect for the animal", while Mediawatch pointed out the likelihood that children had been watching.Īmong the comments that raised particular ire was his condemnation of a family struggling to make ends meet, who were eating "chips and cheese out of Styrofoam containers, and behind them is a massive TV," leading Oliver to suggest they didn't have their priorities right. Not only did it air at 8:30 p.m., but animal rights campaigners had a huge problem with the fact the lamb was very clearly conscious and aware of what was happening. It doesn't matter how legit that idea is, there was another big problem with the scene. He remarked (via the Evening Standard), "A chef who has cooked 2,000 sheep should kill at least one, otherwise, you're a fake." It was an episode of Jamie's Great Escape, which showed him slitting the throat of a still-conscious lamb. That's when the kids are watching, after all, and in 2005, Jamie Oliver brought some graphic, pre-watershed violence to the television. Before the watershed, there's no graphic violence, offensive language. that's the time channels can start showing programming that's a little more adult. On British television, the watershed is 9 p.m. Oh, and the food didn't meet the US Department of Agriculture's standards because it was too high in fat.
With no one buying lunches, staff started to get laid off.
That's a huge problem, because Huntington - a town devastated by a collapse in their manufacturing sector - relied on school lunches to feed their kids. A whopping 77 percent didn't like or eat lunch anymore, and many were throwing it away. She was the bad guy, but here's the thing - after Oliver swept through and made his changes, the school was worse off. The school's food service director was bombarded with hate mail, and everyone was calling for her resignation. Oliver's comments - like, The Atlantic says, when he told a mother she was killing her kids - succeeded in getting some serious hate thrown Huntington's way. According to the Huffington Post, locals just didn't want someone berating them into eating healthy.
It was just after the city had been named the unhealthiest in the country, and no one really wanted him putting them under the spotlight.
