I totally agree with Shari on this. Jamie has made himself a big celeb through the school dinners thing, but look at the good that has done! Millions of kids all round the country are being encouraged to eat more healthy food - more veg, more fruit etc etc.

Jamie could encourage tons more people to ditch meat and dairy through these programmes. If he makes a few million in the process, then so be it.

Yeah, but at least the general public will become a little bit more aware
about factory farming - and that's gotta be a good thing. Even though he
himself cooks and is successful due to using animals for food, if he speaks
out against factory farming more people will listen because of his
'celeb'-ness. And that may even create more veggies.

Isn't it better that someone in the public eye exposes factory farming than
no-one at all?
