Jamie starts off the second season with a visit to Los Angeles, but runs into a roadblock when trying to change school lunch programs.

Now that the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD), the nation's second largest school district, has prevented Jamie Oliver from bringing his cameras into the schools, Jamie tries to garner parental support by dressing as a tomato and distributing free healthy lunches outside the schools.

MLA CEO Mike McGalliard delivers a shattering blow to Jamie and his 10 teenaged culinary students at West Adams Preparatory High School: They've been banned from serving food on campus.

Using a simple math equation, Jamie teaches the West Adams High students a practical lesson about the short term consequences of their unhealthy food choices. The message becomes far more emotional when Jamie invites a few guests suffering from the painful, long term effects of diabetes, heart disease and high blood pressure to share with students some unforgettable stories of their struggles.

Though Jamie has been told he must soon stop filming and teaching in the Los Angeles Unified School District, he successfully lobbies and gets a chance to work with another district. But when he arrives, he finds yet another obstacle which demoralizes him.

New leadership at the Los Angeles Unified School District sparks hope for the Revolution. Jamie is invited to meet with John Deasy, the incoming superintendent, and is heartened by developments.
