If you watched Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution last year, you began to understand just how lacking the school lunch programs are in the U.S. and how our children are being fed the nation’s scraps.

Well, ABC has announced that the British chef is kicking off the second season of his reality docudrama next month (April 12th, 8:00 p.m. ET/PT) and it promises to be just as compelling as the first round.

In the season two premiere, Oliver is raising the stakes by bringing it to Los Angeles. Naturally, he runs into obstacles with the nation’s second largest school district, L.A. Unified (LAUSD), which slams the door in his face.

So, he has to think up a new strategy, that aims to win the support of the parents and teachers in hopes of appealing the LAUSD decision to lock him out of the school lunch program.

But, that’s just the first of hurdles he has to jump. Oliver finds that the resistance is so embedded that his Food Revolution in L.A. could very well be doomed.

This should be another eye-opening view from the man on a mission to feed our children healthfully.
