A timeout here for self-anointed Health Nazis. Oliver cooks and eats all kinds of meat and feels free to use butter, cream and cheese, in sane amounts. He is not a diet cop; he’s about scratch cooking, which to him means avoiding processed and fast food, learning pride of ownership, encouraging sparks of creativity and finding a reason to gather family and friends in one place. If you can make pancakes or an omelet, a pot of chili or spaghetti sauce and know how to perk up some vegetables, you can spend less and eat a more healthful meal that’s delicious.

This is the best summary of a healthy food attitude and philosophy that I've seen in a long time. Time to spread the word, one kitchen at a time.
I definitely agree. I love the way Jamie Oliver talks about food, and the way he writes his cookbooks. While he's unwittingly made himself a bit of a pariah in the UK, I really love what he's trying to do and the way he does it.
