The one-time 'Naked Chef' told reporters at the opening of his new LA cooking-based school Jamie's Kitchen that the city's school district has prevented his efforts to improve the quality of food served to local children during their lunch periods.
"I'm locked out," he said. "I need to get into the school system, and I can't."
In a subsequent interview with TV Guide, Oliver insisted that the setback will not curb his effort introduce fresh food into schools around the United States.
"If we never get into LA schools and I hope that doesn't happen but if we don't, then so be it," he explained. "I can tell you the journey trying to get in will still be fruitful. We will see and learn and be inspired and be upset and be passionate about everything on the way. I'm kind of in the hands of the public."
Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution is expected to return for a second season later this year on ABC.
