CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Weary of being stuck with what they call the false label of America’s unhealthiest city, Huntington residents are offering a wary welcome to a celebrity TV chef who hopes to help them shape up.

Jamie Oliver is starring in a reality TV show slated to be broadcast next year on ABC. In his native Britain, Oliver has done shows focused on improving school lunch meals and other dietary matters with an aim toward getting people eating healthier and living better.

Guaranteed when this airs in the U.K., you good folks in W. Va will be portrayed as ignorant morons. By the way, Oliver's other publicity stunt, the healthy school foods in the U.K. initiative, was a dismal failure. The kids wouldn't eat his food.

The first step to recovery is to admit there's a problem-obviously there is a problem there. If I was these folks in W.Va, I'd grab all the knowledge and training, and get my money's worth and then some. Then turn it around to your benefit, spin the story - make it work for you.
