sure to subscribe to our channel and ring the bell to get notified about our latest videos for this list we're looking at the biggest controversies from jamie oliver's long career let us know in the comments who your least favorite celebrity chef is number 10 jerk rice but what's got the culinary knives sharpened for him today is this product of his punchy jerk rice back in 2018 jamie oliver found himself in hot water for bringing a product to market called punchy jerk rice the microwavable rice was widely lambasted across the uk particularly by britain's large population of caribbean diaspora who said it was inauthentic cultural appropriation it's an insult it is an insult because jerk is from the caribbean jamie's jerk rice didn't contain most of the ingredients found in traditional jamaican jerk marinade since he added in non-standard food products like jalapeno peppers when other types of chilies are usually used it's not jerk it's like saying you're giving me chicken soup but it has beef in it or it doesn't have chicken in there if he'd actually got the recipe right and respected what makes the original so good he wouldn't have caused nearly so much fuss number nine jamie's italian industry insiders say today's scenes of hastily abandoned restaurants carry a warning about the viability of this sector italian food is one of the most consistently popular cuisines the world over and in 2008 jamie oliver opened his own chain of italian restaurants on the high street aptly named jaime's italian the chain eventually grew with restaurants up and down the uk and abroad but by 2018 it came out that the chain was in dire financial straits tens of millions of pounds in debt today from the south coast through to scotland the close signs went up a chain carrying just one name now leaving a thousand dollars the problem was that in the wake of the financial crash and amidst the ongoing demise of the british high street people weren't going out to eat at his restaurants similar chains suffered as well and many people said the restaurants were still too expensive for what they were to justify your trip to survive in this industry is really tough i was very naive at the time i was good at running one restaurant but i wouldn't call myself a businessman number eight paella much like the jerk rice fiasco jamie once put out a recipe for his paella with a twist the twist was that rather than the traditional meat of chicken his paella had chorizo uh this is jamie oliver he's got into trouble because he's come up for a recipe with for paella which the spaniards don't agree is paella and so he's got into trouble this put him on the wrong side of the entire nation of spain as paella was widely considered the country's national dish and is certainly an incredibly popular meal turns out spanish people are quite fussy about their food uh here's just one of the comments remove the chorito we don't negotiate with terrorists first warning with almost 50 million spaniards out there the whole country united to take jaime to task on social media in 2016. some of the abuse was pretty badly they said why don't you go and make chicken nuggets out of your own fingers he hit back however saying that traditional paella actually tastes better with chorizo sausage than it did when it was made properly just fyi it tastes better with chorizo trust me or don't trust me but why bother to call it paella at all when you're streaming so far from home number seven sugar tax coverage of the budget of 2016 and uh the standout announcement was the chancellor announcing a levy on companies that produce sugary fizzy drinks the controversial sugar attacks came into force in 2018 in a bid to make brits cut down on their fizzy drink consumption so a lot of other ways that children in particular ingest huge amounts of sugar and i'm thinking of milkshakes and fruit juices in particular would you like to see this extended to them jamie oliver was a major advocate of the law to the extent that he actually introduced a sugar levy of his own at his restaurants charging another 10 p for sweetened drinks this was in 2017 a year before his chain went bust clearly people did stop buying fizzy drinks from him and they also stop buying everything else this is a big moment in child health i mean it's it's it's a big signal it's symbolic the other issue was that many of oliver's recipes including those aimed at kids forced a tremendous amount of sugar as well it was a glaring example of his hypocrisy trust me with your kids health not them no i've always had detractors number six chicken nuggets in an episode of jamie oliver's food revolution jamie was in the u.s trying to teach kids how horrible chicken nuggets are railing against chicken nuggets is something celebrity chefs love to do and jaime aimed to put these kids off chicken nuggets for life by making them out of a chicken carcass some of the processed foods that you love are made from the bits you don't like bone all the connective tissues little bits of bone marrow and stuff like that though he says in the episode that chicken nuggets in the us aren't even made this way he does his experiment regardless thankfully chicken nuggets in this country are not made this way but it's still an experiment but despite watching how the chicken gets made every single child says that they'd still eat the nuggets simply because they're hungry now who would still eat this [Music] great so there you go the whole experiment failed plus using up the rest of the carcass means less food goes to waste you'd think jamie would be all for that number five bog off we're gonna make homemade pizza and i'm going to make it from just store cupboard ingredients it's an easy recipe and you can knock it out in about 15 minutes this time jamie went for the scottish government and it went about as well as you'd expect in his sights he had buy one get one free junk food deals specifically pizzas going straight to first minister nicola sturgeon herself to get her to ban two for one pizzas or basically enough water until it comes together as a dough very simple and a good pinch of salt three ingredients like many of his endeavors oliver was again criticized for putting forward initiatives that hurt the country's poorest he didn't initially take into account that a bog off pizza deal could make the difference between disadvantaged children getting a hot meal or going hungry and then i'm going to come along and i'm going to put the topping back on top and push the topping all over the place right to the edges rather than make junk food prohibitively expensive people wanted oliver to campaign to make healthy meals cheaper and more accessible so this has had about 10 minutes come on look at that sizzling away number four save with jamie if we're thinking about budgets first of all you no matter what veg you buy give or take it's always going to be a lot cheaper than meat or fish back in 2013 jamie oliver was once again criticizing britain's poorest families for the food they feed their kids while promoting the launch of his book and show save with jamie he seemed to suggest that struggling families should get rid of their tvs so they could buy and cook fresh mussels instead so for about a quid more than two chicken breasts you can buy a whole chicken let me show you how to break down a chicken he was slammed by food blogger jack monroe for being out of touch his tactic of shaming people for what they can and can't afford to eat rather than yet again advocating for more accessible healthy options was heavily criticized he ended up mocking the very people he wanted to sell his book to in saver jamie you know the average cost of a meal is one pound forty one pound thirty a portion depending on where you're shopping number three lean finely textured beef this is a practice that is openly sort of admitted to being in at least 70 of ground beef products that kind of puts it everywhere campaigners against processed food have long enjoyed pointing to pictures of pink slime to show just how unhealthy this food can be and jamie oliver is no exception celebrity chef and food activist jamie oliver is a man on a mission to stop the use of what he calls pink slime beef scraps no one would choose to eat reprocessed and repurposed for use in hamburger patties the pink slime in question is a beef product that is approved for consumption in the u.s and despite looking unappetizing it's widely used across america it was zernstein who in a usda memo first coined the term pink slime and is now coming forward to say he won't buy it it's economic fraud jamie's criticism of the meat was broadcast on one of his shows and the impact was so large on one manufacturer of lean beef that the company sued abc which aired clips from the show for defamation and it doesn't have to appear on the label because over objections of its own scientists usda officials with links to the beef industry labeled pink slime meat a worker let go from the company also sued claiming that the media storm around the beef led to him losing his job number two shell though jamie has spent his career promoting fresh local ingredients to make people healthier and help the environment in 2018 he signed a lucrative 5 million pound deal with shell to launch a new product line hey guys i'm going to show you three sandwiches from my range at the genealogy by shell and it starts here with a ham sandwich but not as you know it he was widely criticized for partnering up with one of the world's biggest oil companies while also talking about the importance of green energy the deal was to bring in healthier options at shells petrol stations but this would still have the effect of boosting shells profits and public image even more i want to cut it in half now at a slight angle and look at that a beautiful roasted veg mediterranean wrap with ricotta cheese why jamie thought it was a good idea to do anything to help a petrol giant is anyone's guess i'm gonna make up a batch take it down to shell get them sampled by the customers and i'll jump out of them at the end and do a nice little surprise number one school dinners i would like an apology off y'all for calling me a big fat scrubber on top gear did i tell you that yes sure did few feuds have gotten as drawn out messy and downright unpleasant as jamie oliver's long-running battle against school dinners he made his name campaigning for healthier school dinners in the uk to the extent that he unforgivably got turkey twizzlers banned from british schools jamie oliver's 2005 documentary jamie's school dinners triggered a national debate with catering companies admitting spending as little as 37 pence per meal on ingredients he took his beliefs to america and was similarly poorly received with his menu changes being resoundingly disliked by students getting kids to eat healthy is a noble goal but he's never gone about it right the healthy food he convinces schools to serve just isn't tasty so 60 of the schools that actually embrace this yeah a whole generation of british kids grew up hating oliver for his infamous menu overhauls i mean sometimes you can be a bit pompous you really can do you agree with our picks check out this other recent clip from watch
