Don't get me wrong, I'm a big guy myself, and I like to eat. Big difference is that I'm not in denial of my size and I'm in no position to tell other people how to eat, let alone eat healthy. I'm not a role model. What Jamie is doing, is hypocritical. It's like a coke addict going on TV to spread the word of the evils of cocaine and lecturing kids at schools to never get into drugs but then proceeds goes off to snort some more off camera.
Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against the message of eating healthier and getting fast food companies to be more responsible, it's the motivation behind the message that's questionable.
Jamie Oliver isnt so much interested in changing diets of people, but trying to get free publicity for his branding on foods, cookbooks, cookware and TV series. The fact that he's gotten fatter since years he's gone on this healthy eating campaign goes to show that he doesn't care for his own message, but rather for his own profitability and fame.

Isn't that what is done, though? Smokers with cancer saying "don't smoke", criminals in jail scaring kids straight, and even coke or meth addicts scaring kids away from drugs? Poor choice of metaphor, IMO.
