Jamie Oliver, Lady Killer: "Food Revolution" Tops Among Women Fourth Week Running

Jamie Oliver's ability to pull in a broad swath of TV-viewing America for his "Food Revolution" series continues to impress. For the fourth week in a row, "Food Revolution" was tops in ratings for women, aged 18-34, and finished #1 overall for the second week in a row, tied with 20/20 last week, among all Friday night shows.

I've seen every episode. He must appeal to the mother's instinct. They, for the most part, are responsible for feeding the children healthy meals that won't kill their children or make them sick. We've been poisoned and drugged by the food companies for half a century and the worst has been in the past 20 years. Thanks Jamie. I joined the revolution.

I think it's healthy to see that America is as excited about his show as it appears to be.

Jamie has put his finger on an issue which should concern us all, especially if any of you have read the latest article on HuffPo from a military group (Mission: Readiness) stating that our youngsters lunch programs are proving to be a huge National Security issue for our nation.

Too fat to fight: is that how we Americans want to be remembered?

No surprise the series is a success.

It's the first time americans can see how vegetables look like before they are processed. ;)

Jamie is very charming, and he's right to boot! We have become a fast food nation and our waistlines are the proof!

We can only change ourselves, and even if we can be shown the way by such a cute man, ultimately it is our choice to excercise and put only healthy food in our mouths!

I'm a 23 year old college student who sorta-likes the show. Some of it seems way over the top and fake (they missed editing out that the casket was brought in by the producers) but other stuff is just disturbing.

The reality show part really takes down the documentary part

It would be helpful if you would document your allegations or concerns about the program instead of making them without any back up.

I'm sure the funeral home does not keep a jumbo casket in stock.....they cost a fortune. So what if the producers brought it in? I wouldn't expect the funeral home to pay to have one for the show.

I stumbled onto Food Revolution after staying most of the previous 5 days with my father in the cardiac intensive care unit. Yes, Jamie is cute as a bug, but he's dead right about the need to stop poisoning ourselves with bad food. Now that Dad is home, I am helping my parents to re-formulate favorite recipes (and using that as an excuse to cut back on unhealthy meals from my own kitchen.) There's a little more planning and work involved, but if I never have to listen to an ECG monitor beeping, or any family member gasping for air 24/7, it will be well worth it.

He's like catnip for women, he truly is.

...what about some of us guys??????? lol. Cute? Oh yes. Smart? Probably. Enough to have his own show anyway. He is 'raking in the dough'. However, as for the catnip part....couldn't sleep wit'im and listen to him talk. Would have to tape his mouth..lol That extreme Cockney accent would just get more and more wierd after awhile, and I would eventually start to laugh. Would put him right off, no doubt.

Fanned! LOL, he's definitely a cutie. And if I had cable I'd be watching his show. ;)

Am just so thankful and grateful for ABC coverage of Jamie Oliver's Revolution. Look forward to each Friday night to see new ground he has covered in trying to change the food pattern in our schools. No wonder there is behavorial problems with the school kids with the foods they have been eating. Hope Jamie's revolution will change all of America and how we eat. Bless you Jamie!!

"No wonder there is behavorial problems with the school kids with the foods they have been eating."

I have been saying this for years only to be met with blank stares. And what is the explanation for such a high occurence of food allergies in recent years? I'm glad people are watching this program and can only hope they won't forget what they've learned when it's over.

I'm not surprised at Jamie's popularity. Food resonates with us all. The revolution is being led by chefs. Jamie is just one. Here's a recent article on him as well as a couple of other food saviors:

I'm sure there are plenty of chefs (along with dietitians, doctors, politicians, etc) who are fighting the same fight... but Jamie has the 'pull' and the charisma that few people have, and has been able to capture attention better than most.

Go Jamie!

He's funny, is enthusiastic, loves what he does, can cook like the dickens and obviously is intelligent. What's not to like?
