    Jamie Oliver heads to County Durham for a better understanding of Britain’s dysfunctional food culture and younger kids’ relationships with food. Working with a primary school class of children, he is amazed at their diet and lack of knowledge about food as he attempts to get them to try foods they’ve never eaten before by visiting local farms. He also spends time with one of the pupil’s families — a family with seven children —to try and understand their home food habits and encourage healthier meals. After everything he learns about school catering and kids’ tastes, he takes a bold step visiting Britain’s largest school catering company to try to ban junk food from their menus.

    Jamie returns to Greenwich, where he convinces Norah to become his right-hand woman in taking over the borough and to help promote his "Feed Me Better" campaign. He identifies local suppliers that can source his new produce and finalizes changes to the menus, but realizes his biggest challenge will be to retrain the cooks. Oliver and Norah organize a "Dinner Lady Camp" with the Army Catering Corporation—a workshop for all Head Cooks in the school’s district, where they will learn to cook school lunches the Jamie Oliver way.
