Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution Asks First Graders To Name Veggies
Written by Vegetarian Star on February 26th, 2010 in Chefs, Children, Food & Drink, Videos.
Jamie Oliver‘s has a new show, Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution, where the Naked Chef travels to different parts of the United States to assess food awareness in Americans.
Jamie makes a stop at a first grade classroom in Virginia to see if children can identify fruits and vegetables.
The preview doesn’t look like the children made the grade with simple vegetables like tomatoes, but first grade is incredibly young to know some of the other complicated produce in Jamie’s basket like “eggplant.”
Children might benefit from learning to incorporate colors on their plates (thus adding green, red peppers or orange carrots), before they distinguish shiitake from maitake.
Watch the Tomato Sneak clip and tuned in to ABC on Friday March 26 to see if you are veg smarter than a first grader.
