Jamie Oliver is STILL a massive cahnt

[barney_pig]

He's not being judgemental though
http://www.independent.co.uk/life-s...-oliver-let-them-eat-stale-bread-8785062.html

In an interview with The Radio Times he said he was "not judgemental" of poor families and pointed to his experiences of people on low incomes whilst filming his previous TV show.

He told the magazine:"You might remember that scene in Ministry Of Food, with the mum and the kid eating chips and cheese out of Styrofoam containers, and behind them is a massive TV. It just didn’t weigh up."

Stale bread,bastard

 

[King Biscuit Time]

He really is a cunt isn't he?

 

[tommers]

He has more money than Chris martin & Gwyneth paltrow combined.

 

[King Biscuit Time]

He's a bigger cunt than Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow combined. Although they all seem to share a common delusion that the world gives a flying fuck what they think people should eat.

 

[Jeff Robinson]

He's a right pukka tosser.

 

[weepiper]

Been stewing about this since I saw it at 8am. He's got a personal fortune of £130m, yet he 'has a lot of experience with poverty'. It doesn't fucking count if you're only a tourist, Jamie. How dare he use his celebrity platform to beat people with no way of replying. Oh yeah Sicilian street cleaners can afford to eat well so you lazy British povs can too. Where are you going to find mussels and mange tout for 'pennies' on a housing estate, or in a little village? He's a fucking idiot.

"The flavour comes from a cheap cut of meat, or something that’s slow-cooked, or an amazing texture’s been made out of leftover stale bread."

Until cunts like him made it trendy for the middle-classes to 'rough it' on cheeper cuts.

Read the article earlier and this was my exact thought. Obviously no idea about people living miles from decent food shops never mind markets. And the idea of going food shopping daily -- what about the cost of bus fares, as well as fitting this in with childcare/work responsibilities? ,

Someone should cut out his fat tongue and slow cook that, it would feed a pov family for a week

A problem I've noticed in a number of cities now is the growth of 'local' mini supermarkets: small scale tescos, sainsberries etc. Whilst the larger sized supermarkets and independent grocery stores usually offer better prices, the former are often only accessible by car and the latter are getting progressively squeezed out. The mini-markets often charge higher prices knowing that the customers don't have any other options.

Whilst I agree most of the opinions being expressed here, healthy food isn't expensive and there really isn't any excuse to feed your kids shit on a daily basis. A bag of salad from Tesco, for example, costs pennies.

 

[frogwoman]

what an utter twat. hes got no idea. By the way i thought he was all about tyrying to get people to be healthy, some bread mould can kill you.

Try feeding kids salad for days on end and see where you end up.

Those massive TVs built his fortune, the complete turkey.

All those Sainsbury's ads featuring trifles and mince pies. Such healthy foods, especially for his bank balance.

Why doesn't he come and hector the people running our local food bank? I'm sure they'd welcome the input and it would make great car-crash telly. Then, when he struggles with that, he can provide some cost-free soundbite opportunities to any piss-poor coalition flunkey who wants to make a statement separating poor nutrition from the realities of poverty.

Please Oliver, fuck off to a great elsewhere to which we have no access. Please.

Seems like the Indi have misquoted him in an effort to get more interest in the story. No point repeating anything as this comment on the Indi story sums it up in my mind:

So "The flavour comes from a cheap cut of meat, or something that’s slow-cooked, or an amazing texture’s been made out of leftover stale bread."
becomes... "Let them eat stale bread".
If the Indy are so desperate to get us to think about Jamie Oliver in a particular way, why didn't they just draw a cock and balls on his forehead for good measure?

Which you've just shown that you shop at.

just because i know the price, don't mean i go there still

 

[bi0boy]

My dad always fed me healthily despite being in poverty, and we didnt have a massive TV

OK he was fit enough to walk a five mile round trip to the supermarket, but healthy eating for kids is usually about educated parents rather than able parents.

 

[butchersapron]

just because i know the price, don't mean i go there still

You know the price of various bags, the content and the likely time it will last. Yeah, you don't go there

 

[ddraig]

bang to rights by detective butchers again!

has it changed much in the last couple of years then?

 

[DotCommunist]

one day Jools will cut out his heart and show it to the sun before kicking him down the temple stairs

 

[butchersapron]

The point here isn't the ability to feed yourself and your kids healthily on little money (or not), but that we live in a society where rich freaks think that people should have to feed themselves and their families on fuck all. Where this is normalised rather than being seen as being an outrageous barbarism predicated on the privilege of these people who are offering their advice. Discussing whether it's possible is a concession to them and that normalisation.

 

[bi0boy]

When has it ever been easier for poorer people to feed their families?

 

[RedDragon]

The telly is likely to be on monthly payments spread over a couple of years and eventually costing double the cash price.

One of those pre-packed bags of salad.

The local sainsburys and tescos have different prices than the larger stores, and are generally more expensive, whilst simultaneously, paying lower wages in sainsburys case a pound an hour less than in their supermarkets

Mixed leaves, the cheapest I could find on Tesco's site were £1 - and what would need to be added to make a balance meal, so far it's just water.
