Jamie Oliver

I don't hate him but his approach to what (in my view) was a noble goal was just awful.

Agree, I don't think he's a twit and had good intentions (along with raising his profile as I don't for a second think it was totally selfless).

But the challenge is so big he needed to dedicate a lot more time to it and have a proper plan.

What he's actually done is when he's had a few weeks spare in his calendar he's started on the school dinners or sugar tax stuff. If he wanted to make a real change he needs to dedicate a lot more time to it. Either do it properly or don't bother.

He was advertising middle class junk food for Sainsbury's while berating others for having junk food that didn't have as fancy names and ingredients.

God I love Charlie Brooker. Konnie Huq is a lucky lady!

How have I only just discovered uncle Rodger? I can't believe a comedian built a whole empire with quite a lot of it based on slagging off Jamie Oliver and I missed it He met up with Ramsey and they bonded over slagging off Jamie

I know this isn't a rave thread, but Jamie's birthday post to Jools popped up on my feed - it's really refreshing to see an older woman without (presumably) any cosmetic tweaks. She looks great!

I love Uncle Roger. He has done videos with many chefs he 'called out' who took it as the joke it was, but as far as I am aware, Jamie has ignored every request, which isn't really a surprise as he doesn't take kindly to anyone making fun of him or calling him out even if it is just in jest.

Exactly, and by not reacting he just leaves the joke continuing. Love uncle Roger too, he's really funny

Jamie is such a fool, by ignoring it he's made himself the butt of the joke for every video.

There's nothing that wrong with what Jamie does - Western adaptations to Eastern food. The inverse must happen with Eastern chefs.

Not sure why he takes himself so seriously, it's just food.

I remember when Zoella moved house she binned all her plates, pans and cutlery then made do with paper plates for a few weeks all because Jamie said he'd send her a new set of his own homeware stuff #gifted

I think uncle rodger lives in the UK? Hopefully he will open a branch of his restaurant there. Jamies food empire is/was a mess of different things he jumped on rather than sticking to one thing and running a tight ship.

That zoella thing is insane, she is so wasteful

Did he send Zoella the stuff eventually?
