we live in a market economy aswell where market forces determine price, which in practice seems to often go with democracy. I think that education is the right choice, as for school providing lunch, how many still do ? Many of you have kids or know people who do, how many of them recieve lunch from school rather than taking one with them. Also to what degree does the school provide the lunch, is it a cafeteria that makes it or breaks it on its on or is it a cafeteria where it is subsidised so as to provide an option to students, or is it free for all who want it? As for making this economical no problems with that but lets be honest it would not be local organic produce and regional cuisine. I can not see the majority of people expecting that the kids eat better at school than they do at home, especially when it costs them money be it out of pocket or taxes. I really can not see this being a real issue. By real i can not believe that this chef is taking upon herself becuase she sees this as a scourge destroying our youth. Beyond that we just got out of teachers strike do you think support for spending more on students food and not on teachers is wise? I am by no means some corporate loving peon, but i do see a need for priorities and when i think to myself in canada is lunch food an issue a resounding no flashes. The reason this was a success in the UK and may be in america is due to the large amount of students who recieve their meals from the school. It is also important to understand the history of the UK lunch system. It started out as cooked and prepared meals in the school by a chef, the reason that changed was becuase school boards and politicians saw places they could save money by employing mass production. These cuts were made and stood for decades. In america Jamie will have the most success in changing the food pyramid scheme and through that there will be a change in diet.

If not every parent can afford to buy organic you think the school board should? Even though that is utopian it would still come down to the tax base. The money for this program would have to come from somewhere. As for Jamie failing i dont think he failed as a whole but in what he set out to do, he did. He promised a 19p meal, he delived a 59p meal. The government in england spent around 600million dollars cdn to do this. All be it in canada this number owuld be less due to population but in porportion it would be higher. As for university students being subjected to junk food inc so be it they are 17+ they should be able to make their own poor decisions. Or maybe we should realize alcohol is bad for us and ban that too, along with smoking. For that extreme matter how bad for our health do you think the majority of meals served in restaurants are for us. A good deal of flavour comes from fat, so say goodbye to sauces, duck, marbeled steaks. it is essential that society focuses on exercise. Of course we can ask the government to solve our problem but how many times has that created more problems.

Canucklehead what are you thinking! When Jamie tried to beat the syscos of the world he failed miserably. In BC's situation we do not have near the population density of England so it will cost us more. As for using regional local crap( isay crap becuase you know it will be leftover from what restuarants and local grocery stores have gotten first) that drives price up. There is obvious reason why syscos are prevalent, they are cheap! I dont wish to throw my support behind the syscos, but it seems this chef is just going for publicity. I never once ate a school mean let alone a whole year of them. We dont really do the school meal thing in canada, rather bag lunch, lunch box etc... Jamie Oliver originally boasted he would create a meal for 19pence which was the same or close to what the syscos charged. At which point the government would have to act. Unfortunately or not, it ended up being 59p a meal not including drink. This low figure was only achieved due to economies of scale. Furthermore isnt children getting fat a parental thing why are we letting this be pushed onto government, we should take responsibilty. Worse than that in my opinion is the fact that children get less exercise. Yes, ultimateley Jamie was succesful but do you think it will be considered the tide turner on obesity in the UK?

There is nothing horrible about Montana's steakhouse ( I assume that you are talking about the chain). I think it would be a very good idea depending on your fathers age and what he enjoys eating. I myself would likely choose somewhere else but that is my perogative. If however your father really really cares about food and trying new things maybe Montanas is not the best choice as it is consistently the same no matter what city. Really it depends but for decent costs and reliable dining experience Montanas is a safe bet. I know for my grandparents taking them to lumiere or west would be totally lost on them . Anything outside of denny's is a real culinary experience so judge what you think your father will be comfortable with.

sounds as though this place is less brazilian and more portugese, south african perhaps but definately portugese.

I would recommend a wine from Thelema (mountain vineyard) named Ed's Reserve. It is a chardonnay but with something that in my opinion makes it the perfect compliment for turkey dinner. Thelema is a south african winery so it may be difficult to find but if you do give it a try should cost much either.

what is the west prix fixe menu? is it the tasting menus

I understand that a chilled martini glass, beer glass be it any beverage container that is chilled will create condensation and thus dilute the drink and any flavors. But so will ice and many drinks should be cool or cold. What is the solution of comnpromise>?
