Synopsis:

SERIES ONE: Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution follows Jamie to Huntington, West Virginia - the town once labelled the fattest in the United States - as he tackles the growing obesity crisis. With the reality that today's children could be the first ever generation to live shorter lives than their parents, Jamie goes straight to the heart of the problem and tries to get junk food out of the town's homes, workplaces, schools and supermarkets for good. SERIES TWO: Jamie Oliver takes his Revolution to the United States' second-largest city, Los Angeles, California, and faces his biggest challenge yet. In this inspiring series, Jamie sets out to tackle the problems of obesity, heart disease and diabetes in the US - where the first generation of children are not expected to live as long as their parents - and invites viewers to take a stand and change the way Americans eat at home, in schools and on the high-street.
