Jamie Oliver picks a fight with David Beckham over his junk food adverts

[Northerner]

The celebrity chef Jamie Oliver has criticised sporting heroes like David Beckham for promoting junk food to children.

Beckham and Gary Lineker are highlighted for criticism in an open letter signed by the celebrity chef and health professionals and teachers.

"On the eve of the London Olympics we, a group with a vested interest in improving the health and well-being of young people, express our grave concern about this trend," the letter published today in The Times newspaper says.

Well he's a fine one to talk, hark at the pot!

Have you seen that trailer or whatever it is where he's making that cake with one of his daughters?

Well if Gary encourages kids to eat A LOT of Walkers crisps - then I maintain Jamie is encouraging kids to eat A LOT of horrid sticky gooey sweet stuff.

I'd be surprised if Beckham encouraged anyone to drink A LOT of Pepsi, and in any case at least they can drink diet Pepsi - which is more than can be said for the crisps or that cake !
