    Jamie Oliver as well in the UK. People STILL hate him for trying to feed their kids better than they could. The strength of the desire in people to make life worse for themselves and everyone else makes me hate this fucking country.

      I remember having an argument with a friend about algebra in schools. Her kid was struggling, so she said why does he need to learn it, he can just get a job like hers where it’s not needed. Every other post of hers on Facebook was complaining about her crappy job.

      There’s a strange mentality here that we’re all struggling, but nobody should be doing better. If someone does try, they get called out for it and shamed.

      They saw Jamie Oliver as elitist for trying to get kids to not eat shit. Did you ever see his program? It was abysmal what they were serving British schoolchildren in schools.
