Men who can cook more likely to be lucky with the ladies, Jamie Oliver says "Just being a man and knowing how they work and having 500 men, chefs, in my company," he told the programme. Sorry boys but we are naturally more pretentious, showy off, you know. So look, the short of it is you will definitely get laid more often and of a better quality if you can cook. Oliver, who is married with four children, made the comments as part of his ongoing mission to get more people cooking healthily. He also accused successive governments of endangering the health of children by insisting on changing policies about food education. "One of the downsides of democracy I guess is every four years we go through this kind of very expensive slightly jingle-jangle, marketing spiel about who we should vote for," he said. And I passionately feel, as a father and as a fairly proud Brit, that I don't see how any of that should affect how we feed our kids or teach them about food at school. Not everything that the Labour Government did was wrong in this area; they did a lot that was right -love them or hate them- and to feel that you just mow in with a new team and just want to despise everything that was done and pioneered by the last lot...to want to change everything, as far as food and food education is concerned is, I think, dangerous. I'm talking about life-skills, about budgeting. The full interview can be heard in Men's Hour on BBC Radio 5 live at 9pm on Sunday 12 May.
