Jamie’s filming came to an abrupt end on last night’s programme as the production company had their permits revoked by the LAUSD, causing filming to cease at the LA school.
‘Anyone would think we’re dealing with military secrets’, argued Jamie.
‘We’re going to fight the decision’, Mike reassures the chef.
‘We’re the good guys’, said Jamie.
The news came after Jamie was told by the school he could cook for all the pupils under the advisory programme, designed to get kids ready for college.
Earlier, the celeb chef took over a maths and social studies class. In maths he shown the pupils the effects of ‘bad’ foods can have on their health. The pupils were asked to choose a snack, chocolate, pizza, an orange, fizzy drink, and made them carry the weight on their back that they would put on over a month of eating the same types of foods without exercise.
In social studies, the pupil’s met their ‘future selves’, men and women who are overweight and suffering from health problems such as type 2 diabetes. The lesson hit home, with many of the teens admitting they worry about their family’s health.
The celeb chef also helped a single dad, who was struggling to provide his two sons with healthy meals, instead he feed them fast food nearly three times a week.
‘They (LAUSD) won’t stop me or the Food Revolution’, said Jamie. ‘I’m going guerrilla. LAUSD don’t own the kids or me. I’m going to find a kitchen right in front of the school for teachers and parents.’
‘If they wanted a war they’ve got one.’
Although the LAUSD told Jamie they wouldn’t be changing their decision at a meeting of the board the chef attended where he thanked the district for their time and co-operation.
‘It’s not a boutique café operation’, said LAUSD administrator Raymond Kortinez. ‘We have guidance we have to follow. I was at an elementary school in the week, all the food was proper. Not everyone liked it but that’s what we have to serve.’
‘You’ve attempted to make the school a stage. I’ve made the decision.’
Jamie asked he if could respond to the comments, the board shook their heads.
However, it looks like there could be light at the end of the tunnel next week as the LAUSD appoint a new superintendent.
