Palin has mocked Michelle Obama multiple times, encouraging families and children to disregard the government's advice. Oliver is a strong advocate of children's health in the U.S., as shown in his hit reality TV series, "Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution," where he visits American schools in effort to revamp the school lunch system.

Was Oliver right to call Palin names? Find out if our readers are in support of the Obama administration's healthy eating efforts.

She did not criticize it, she suggested that it may not be the most prioritized issue considering the other economic issues.

Lisa P.
Jamie is right--Palin is a froot loop and so much more! She probably criticizes the Obama healthy eating initiatives because she can't understand them!

Julia M.
I'm sorry, but Palin has constantly made fun of Michelle Obama and her mission. To be fair, so have many others. I don't get it, why would anyone say it's a bad thing to try and eat better and move more? How can health not be a priority? Without it you have nothing else.

Linda W.
She was a froot loop way before THAT comment.

Courtney V.
Jamie all the way! I love Michelles program! Sarah palin needs to quit talking trash about everyone!

No one is against the whole healthy eating and healthy lifestyles. The problem is the government wanting to have control of it. Truthfully, this has become away for the government to increase taxes. I understand and agree with laws that would stop school from allowing unhealthy foods.However it is up to parents to choose what is right for their children. the government is taking away your right to choose what to feed your children and making everyone pay extra to eat what we choose. Juice for example, is not bad for you, but now you are going to be taxed to enjoy it because the government says it has too much sugar in it.
