Campaigning Chefs: Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall or Jamie Oliver?

[Whoever]

Who do you prefer, and why?

[tiggerblue10]

Not sure who I prefer but seeing the chicken and egg one a couple of years ago was certainly an eye opener. I think both were involved in that.

[ummmm]

I like them both...

[chelle7272]

Hugh definately - I can't stand Jamie Oliver!

[JMR27]

I like them both in small doses but I think there are far too many cookery/chef crusade programmes on tv.

I like them both...having recently warmed to geeky Hugh.

I don't think there are too many chef-crusades....all the recent ones have opened our eyes-a lot! Otherwise we would all have our heads stuck in the sand still.

[ummmm]

And feeding our kids turkey twizzlers....
(not that I ever gave them to my kids...but the school did)

Hugh i think. His chicken campaign made a difference here
I am a bit confused about how I feel after seeing Hugh Fearnley Dick Whittington's latest fish campaign (about the waste of throwing some of the dead accidentally caught catch back). See if it wasn't for quota limits a trawler could 'accidentally' land tons of fish each time, sell it etc and there'd be no reason for them not to. Stocks would be destroyed in a few years and then the communities of fishermen would have zero income. It does also seem immoral though that huge stocks are returned, dead, to the sea when families struggle to feed themselve healthily. Not an easy circle to square.
