Production on the second season of ABC’s Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution was halted as the Los Angeles Unified School District terminated the show’s license to film inside other schools in the district.  Over the last two weeks, Oliver and his crew had been filming at the West Adams Preparatory High School in South LA and more filming was planned at Manual Arts Senior High School before the suspension happened.  The district Superintendent Ramon Cortines said a filming permit would not be renewed unless Oliver could guarantee it would cast the schools in a positive light.  However, on Friday, the school district’s director of food services, Dennis Barrett requested Oliver to outline three weeks’ of school menus costing no more than 77 cents a serving and following federal and local regulations.  This request does not necessarily mean Oliver will be allowed to resume filming on the reality show in the LA school district.
