LA USD Dining Declines Reality TV Offer

Los Angeles USD has turned down participating in celebrity chef Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution reality TV show next year, reports the Los Angeles Times. Food Revolution had filmed a popular series of episodes earlier this year focusing on attempts to improve the nutrition and food quality of the food served in the school cafeteria in Huntington, WV. Food Revolution plans to film in Los Angeles for its second season and had approached the school district about doing some episodes focusing on the school meals program. The district replied with a "thanks but no thanks" note, citing time constraints forced on the district dining program from "budgetary challenges."
