Jamie's American Food Revolution

Series Summary

Having tackled British school food and home cooking, Jamie Oliver's off to try to start a food revolution in the US. In his new six-part, Emmy Award-winning series, the chef heads to Huntington, West Virginia - dubbed `America's unhealthiest city'.

Half of Huntington's adults are obese, levels of heart disease and diabetes are the highest in the country, and children now have shorter life expectancy than their parents.

Jamie wants to inspire people to change the way America eats at home, in schools and in the workplace, hoping to make Huntington a healthier city and start a chain reaction of positive change across the country. But will the straight-talking tactics that worked with British school meals succeed in a country with a very different food culture?

Jamie is reduced to tears of despair, but slowly his voice begins to rise above the dissenters. Can he really make a difference against all the odds?
