JAMIE OLIVER'S FOOD REVOLUTION
Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution, ABC’s new reality show, has an educational agenda. But its British star isn’t a Professor Higgins who’s come to ridicule the way the locals speak in West Virginia, locale of the show’s premiere. Not at all. Jamie Oliver, English chef, cooking show star, and cookbook author, projects nothing if not sincerity in his mission to help American children want to eat healthy food to stave off an increasing epidemic of obesity and diabetes. The son of pub owners and the equivalent of a high school drop-out, this driven foodie has one obsessive aim---to get young Americans to actually care about what they eat. For Oliver, the younger the pupil is, the better his chances for conversion will be. And he’s willing to do what it takes---even running through a field dressed as a giant green pea pod with pre-schoolers. Regardless of its star’s interloper status, it would be hard for anyone who cares about the health of children not to be rooting for this show’s success. And as for Oliver, any such outsider perception is irrelevant. As this loveable revolutionary puts it, “I’m not here as an English person, I’m here as a human.”

CAKE
HOW TO GET FINANCIALLY ORGANIZED:
1. Select a bank that allows you to schedule and pay bills online. Typically they use E-checks and charge you around 25 cents per check. This is cheaper than a stamp folks. You must pay your bills on time to get organized.
2. Gather up all your bills and schedule when you want each bill to be paid. In most cases, online bank accounts allow you to get organized by scheduling reoccurring bill payments. This lets you set it and forget it.
3. Get a file cabinet and designate 1 section for financial information. Within in that section, label file folders for taxes, bank statements, retirement account statements, Insurance, titles, and pay stubs. When you can clearly see the different categories, you will get organized quicker.
4. Set aside a designated time each week to go through bills that you cannot pay automatically. For example, it isn't smart to automatically pay utility bills if they change each month. You want to be aware of the money going out of your account. Set up the same time each week to pay those bills. Write this time into your planner to get organized financially.
