Hi Sonia, the link above is a must read, that is another step closer to heaven, closer to helping people than it has ever been previously, isn’t it worth fighting for? isn’t it worth supporting and encouraging?Isn’t it worth writting and debating about it?
Happy reading and hopefully , welcome to (Jamie ‘s) my kind of church!
Happy cooking

Hi Sonia,
I appreciate you getting back to me on my unhappy comment re your article. I do support your company and whatever you might be involved with as it is food (and allergies) related and that I am your number one fan for your efforts brought into the industry….One may simply not go on slagging off this great piece of work that Jamie is producing at the moment. As I am watching the program on channel 4 while our misshaps is taking place and I am submerged with all sorts of feelings that might be surrounding the issue. submerged! We all do need to pay our bills at the end of the day but as no none is cooking at all , the question of how can they cook more healthy is answering itself….simply by starting to cook (really that is all that the message is saying, nothing else)
A boy of 13 years old was represented awaiting for the results of his diabetes test (which turned out to be negative thanks god) but the doctor at the clinic in Huntington informed his parents who have a history of the illness that if the boy was diagnosed positive at his age , would not have a chance of seing his 40′s….
Support, please do so with your platform,it is a great tool you have in your hands, so please do use it wisely and you will be able to help even more than one person at the time but hundreds…
Happy allergen free cooking!

Daniel,

Thank you for your comments. Apparently you have not read my article or you would have a different opinion. I am discussing different food platforms that are out there today, including what I am doing to make change in the food industry. It in no way states what Jamie Oliver is doing is wrong or bad. I am asking the question of ‘is it making a difference’? Everyone is entitled to their opinion on this question, including yourself. There are many things that everyone can do to make change and it starts at a basic level. There is no competition when we are all working towards the same goal. Thus again, I don’t believe you have read my article and understand my statements.

Without affordable and healthy food for people, how can they cook more healthy? They may be swayed to eat fast food because they feel they do not have a choice. There is much work to do in the restaurant industry as well and the chefs that I have been working with are making that change, which is great! My platform is around making a change in the way food allergies are viewed and taken care of in the food & restaurant industry. And my company is doing that, even if but one person at a time.

Dear Reader,Editor,
As I am feeling rather winded up by the comments made towards Jamie Oliver hard work and efforts to bring something constructive to peoples and children minds ,whatever background they might be/from/have I am trying to figure out the basis and the meaning of your focus.
I find astonishing that such poor judgment and comment is made /posted and agreed with, so only argument might be pulled out from it ,when our children, your children are lacking of education ,the very basis and root of many troubles these days in our society.
Not much is build around without it.
The restaurant industry is way more complex , it is often working in seasonal way, with fresh product, with schools, hospitality students and all sort of converted gents ( I have seen brokers from Wall Street coming into kitchens wishing to find stress free environment but still willing to work for the best, with the best….are you getting the idea?)
To me? Competition, this is what it seems to be, a battle of elbows, without any scrupules ….. I am sorry to say that I find the argument on this post based on nothing else but guess, ego self feeding nonsense ,however I am normally enjoying Sonia’s blogs …this time ,she’s let us/me your children down and sincerely wish for the mistake to be realised before more chefs and others who have worked and fought long enough to keep on the tradition in/and making sure that you eat well, before all realise that it has been all effortless;
This is an industry where no fake is allowed, you may not lie to a customer, if it does happen, your may be fighting it and helpingyourself/us by never returning…that is your best weapon.
Critics are for food critics, and it would take much guts way above knowledge and experience to attack a person directly simply for the sake of it by using analogy comparing Jamie’s work with a shoe collection.
Not bravo…
