His idea was fantastic and great that he took the chalenge on, its need someone like him to bring awareness and give people motivation and support. WHY Why! did he need to turn into Gorden Ramsey! - Jamie why not be yor self! there no need. Previous post said about shame children could not be involve as they are the future teachers. Have to say it was a good program though! I think it’s a total shame Jamies found it nescessary to use bad language.

I don't have swearing in my house and my reaction if I hear it on any programme is to switch over or off, which rather defeats the object of him trying to get his message across to as many people as possible. If he doesn't know enough words from our rich and varied language to describe his feelings or what he is doing then I suggest he buy himself a good dictionary.

I'm not surprised that it has been picked up there. I was stunned by the language when I watched the programme and spent more time concentrating on that than what he was actually saying! I'm sure Jamie really believes in his cause but now all of the attention is on his language and not the issue of getting people eating well which is a shame.

Have a word with him!

But after watching the Ministry of Food programme and listening to his constant foul language I no longer wish to watch him on tv or purchase any of his products. I find it extremely offensive that Jamie Oliver feels the need to have to communicate with viewers at such a basic gutteral level. I have in the past admired Jamie Oliver and his initiatives.

It does nothing to enhance his show and alienates people who have previously admired him for not behaving in the same way as Gordon Ramsey.

I think the topic is really interesting and important, but utterly demeaning. The participants from Rotherham showed great restraint and patience in tolerating Jamie's inarticulate dialogue full of expletives. I think Jamie has done stirling work in promoting healthy eating, but, please, who on earth at Channel 4 came up with this patronising treatment? Surely Jamie himself must have questioned the script? And why so much repetition? Ditch Jamie and get Mick the Miner to promote cooking - Mick is a far more dignified role model.
