I don't think there's any question that majority eating habits in Appalachia are scary, but I found the whole thing offensive.
How would you, your friends, neighbors and co-workers feel if someone from another country came to your city and announced to the world, "These people are doing X all wrong! I'm going to show the world just how wrong, and then I'm going to show them how to do it right" ???
Whatever "X" might be. Your clothes or schools, let's say. Never mind all the economic and cultural factors that make food practices a particularly sensitive area to do this.
Why doesn't Jamie Oliver go testify to Congress about the Farm Bill - one thing that would really help all Americans eat better. I'm sure he'd be equally effective there.
