The media personality raised his concerns with Britain by citing that the country has "the world breastfeeding in the world."

"It's simply an area of interest following my nutritional studies over the last two year, Jamie Oliver said. "I understand that breastfeeding is often not easy and in some cases not even possible but just wanted to support women who DO breastfeed and make it easier for them to do so. "

"Childhood nutrition starts with supporting pregnant women properly and I expect Mr Cameron to also be including this in his childhood obesity strategy. As a father - and father to be - I would never wish to offend women or mums as I know how incredible they are and I would get a kicking when I got home!" Jamie Oliver added on his succeeding posts on Twitter.

Jamie Oliver offering up his opinion on breastfeeding is like me, someone who can't cook, telling you all how to whip up a fab fish dish.
