In the second season of the series, Jamie takes on his biggest challenge yet, attacking the problems of U.S. obesity, heart disease and diabetes in America by inviting viewers to take a stand and change the way America feeds itself at home and in schools.

New episodes are also available on demand the day following their television broadcast.

The EMMY award-winning series, Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution, is loosely based on Jamie's UK series, Jamie's Ministry of Food and Jamie's School Dinners, which changed what British school children are fed in school.

Meanwhile in America, Jamie's turning his attention to helping people of all ages change their eating habits by learning to cook and choosing fresh food over processed in schools, homes, workplaces, and even restaurants.

Last season Jamie took his food revolution to Huntington, West Virginia a small town of 50,000 people, which has been called the unhealthiest city in America.

In the second season, Jamie brings his "food fight" to Los Angeles, California, a city of 11 million people known for its Hollywood stars and healthy living. However, behind the glamour, lives a city full of people consuming fast food and processed junk meals.

In the Season 2 premiere, Jamie is raising the stakes for his food revolution but almost immediately has to rethink his approach when the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD), the nation's second-largest school district, slams the door in his face. Jamie's first order of business is winning the support of the parents and teachers in hopes of appealing the LAUSD decision to lock him out of the school lunch program...
