Jamie Oliver is STILL a massive cahnt

All of this is driven by an astute marketing campaign, of which this latest example is as much a part as his previous campaigns to improve school dinners or whatever. Their underlying aim is simply to push him, his brand and his market share.

Which makes this particular round of poor shaming especially cuntish. He's not even doing this out of unthinking Victorian liberalism, he's deliberately exploiting people's poverty to make himself more fucking money.

Thanks for clarifying. I thought the point you were making was that the target was not what it purported to be - in this case Jamie Oliver is using those who are struggling as some kind of cover to make sneering social comment. I'm genuinely interested in how JO represents the purported targets of the program.

No, my secondary point was that the programme-makers, to broaden the possible audience, will represent the targets of the programme in a particular manner. The most usual form of this is to use stereotypes similar to, but not as simplistic as, Oliver's, and add a bit of "social comment" in order to leaven that/evade criticism while at the same time still implying to the non-target section of their audience "look, this is how they live!". I'm willing to bet a fiver to the server fund that these programmes will implicity or explicitly divide the target audience into "deserving" and "undeserving" sections of "the poor".

Cheap eggs taste like fish for a reason - what the hens are fed on includes fishmeal because it's cheap and nutritious. Back in the late '70s the practice was so widespread that a lot of chicken also tasted of fish, even the non-cheap stuff. :(

Not to mention the environmental damage that occurs by scooping up ocean fish indiscriminately and turning it into animal feed. Pigs are actually the biggest consumers of fish on the planet.

Where my parents live (east coast of England) the North Sea is rich with sandbanks, and so get constantly dredged for sand-eels to be made into fishmeal, with the knock-on effects the dredging has for coastal erosion, habitat loss and thinning of biodiversity.

"The mrs". Patriarchy in action. Froggie is a mere anonymous possession of yours. :(

Unfortunately, its the world's poor that are getting the brunt of the effects of environmental damage. The rich can still move away and pretend it doesn't exist.

Smear Jamie Oliver with lashing of vintage organic olive oil made from heritage olives from Naples and then set him on fire

oh come on, do you call yourself a chef? everyone knows the best way to serve jamie oliver is thinly sliced and pan-seared, on a bed of lettuce and rocket lightly garnished with parmesan...
 
So I had a conversation with one of my colleagues today where he told us that he's got nothing to eat except a couple of tins of ravioli and bread and butter for the next few days. I mean literally nothing. No lunch. He's no money to buy anything else before payday. This is a single guy in his 40s who works full-time in a shop. Minimum wage is so pathetically far behind the cost of living that a single bloke working full-time can't afford to eat properly at the end of the month. And before anyone judges him, he doesn't smoke, uses a bike to get around, he said he can't remember the last time he had a night out or new clothes, I saw him trying to fix the sole of his shoe with superglue the other week because he couldn't afford to buy new ones. He earns just too much to qualify for tax credits or housing benefit (I sat with him at lunchtime today and went through the calculations on entitledto.co.uk on his phone to see if we could get him any help) and rent and bills is eating all his wages. I suppose he should just magic a bag of fucking salad from somewhere? I bet Jamie Oliver thinks he's lazy too.

Lazy cunt using tinned ravioli, that's why.

If he bought wheat whole from the farmer and milled it himself to make flour for his pasta, then made all the fillings out of 12 tomatoes from the local grocers he could feed the five thousand. The left over flour could be used to bake some bread.

How big is his telly?

Are there more celeb chefs now than 40 years ago? Certainly the Jamie Oliver types are now celebrities, in the past I suppose there were Mrs Beetons etc ... just wondering.
 
And Mrs Beeton seems a sad story:
The author, Isabella Beeton, was 21 years old when she started working on the book, and she died at 28. In 1866, a year after Isabella's death, Samuel was forced to give up the copyright on all his publications due to the collapse of Overend and Gurney, a London discount house to which he was in debt. To save himself from bankruptcy he sold the copyright to publisher Ward, Lock and Tyler for £3,250

how the fuck is a man supposed to maintain his dignity while he is supergluing his shoes together cos he can't afford a new pair?

this is it, this is the key thing. They aren't content with robbing us, oh no. They have to call us lazy cunts who don't know how to manage money while they take ours.

I swear to the lord there will be a reckoning.

someday.
