My hero.
Maybe if the prepared meals tax passes and drives people away from fast food, he can come to Durham and start an American version of the program.

The 33-year-old chef targeted the town after mothers were pictured shoving burgers and chips through school railings in protest at menus suggested in a previous series, Jamie's School Dinners.
The first episode of his new programme featured an unemployed mother-of-two who fed her children solely on fast food takeaways, and a woman who regularly eats 10 packets of crisps for dinner.
His idea is to teach "pyramid cooking", where each of the eight people he trains will teach two of their friends, and they will do the same until 250,000 have been taught to cook.

SCHOOL SUPPLIES
CLOTHING
FUEL
as another support for low-income people?
Shilling for the fast food industry, which may be convenient for "working moms," is still shilling. That industry contributes low-wage, low-skill jobs, automobile congestion and poor diet, at best.
I'm not sure people will miss that penny. Do you know why? When was the last time you stopped to pick one up? I'm the only person I know who picks up loose change on streets and sidewalks. My wife calls me "Rain Man" whenever I do!
