Ryan Seacrest Productions show for Jamie Oliver

Jamie Oliver is joining Ryan Seacrest Productions for a new series that aims to bring healthy eating to cities in America. Jamie is well known in the UK for his School Dinners campaign, which brought changes in law as well as in the food provided by our schools, working on the principle that healthy food doesn’t need to be expensive, it just needs to be fresh, simple and full of nutrients.

Ryan’s quoted saying:

“I couldn’t do what I do in terms of my schedule if I didn’t eat right and exercise right. As a kid I was chubby, and I’m a firm believer that the fuel we put into our body results in a healthy lifestyle. Jamie’s going to come over here, roll up his sleeves and use the resources of each town to help condition living habits to make it a better and healthier place.”

ABC has ordered six hours of the show from Ryan Seacrest Productions and it should air next year.

Well done RSP, this sounds great!
