In short, they are ignorant. Honey, I'm from Kentucky, and have heard what a hillbilly state is supposedly is. Well, now I live in Washington, and let me tell you, I've seen FAR more hillbillies and backwoods buddies out here than I ever saw in my beautiful, graceful, rich-in-hospitality, classy, charming, elegant home state! I guess the upside of that show is that the ignorant people who form an opinion of your sweet town will be too stupid to ever plan a weekend-getaway there, so you won't have to worry about stupid coming to town! :)The Adventures of Maverick & the Mrs.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09880546972757456572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3664970872027561554.post-64891816532948627482010-03-09T09:10:10.450-05:002010-03-09T09:10:10.450-05:00I'm sorry your town is being portrayed in an u...I'm sorry your town is being portrayed in an unfriendly manner.

I mean he comes in and shows the worst of the worst and then leaves, and then WV looks like crap, and who has it helped? NOBODY. It's harmful just to be harmful. It's deeper than some cocky British dude coming in and preaching the wonders of carrot sticks. If you've eaten country fried steak and fried tomatoes and biscuits made with pure lard for 5 generations, he's not gonna stop you from continuing to do so for the next 5. It's cultural and THAT'S what pisses me off.

However, I've lived in a state that for like the last 10-15 years has consistently been ranked last or second to last in the ranking of unhealthiest states. <br /><br />I have a feeling that everything that is shown on the show about your town will apply to my entire state! <br /><br />:-)<br /><br />PS Thank you SO much for the card!

I can understand why you may feel that it would portray your hometown in a negative way, but the show is not about portraying people as "good or bad." I don't think people watching the show are going to be judging this town on how friendly, helpful or great citizens these families are, it is about changing a horrible food system and making better food choices (something EVERYONE, including myself, can work on.)<br /><br />I've loved Jamie Oliver for years, and like I said earlier he really helped revolutionize the school lunch systems in England. I think it would be fantastic if he could help with that in the United States. I substitute taught for about three years and it was amazing the food that was served that was considered nutrious. Pair that with the fact in low income areas this might be the only substanial meal a child might have in a day, and I think it's a great idea!Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14756861396922776236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3664970872027561554.post-51168794960014716282010-03-08T10:53:47.205-05:002010-03-08T10:53:47.205-05:00It sounds like you live in an amazing city with pe...It sounds like you live in an amazing city with people who care.

I didn't watch the Oscar's because we weren't home but I stayed up-to-date on twitter. <br />I have seen previews for that show and thought that some of the comments were harsh.
