Broadcast & Cable reports that Ryan Seacrest Productions has reached out over the pond to task Jamie Oliver to help people eat better. As part of an unscripted 6 episode series, Jamie will travel to one of America’s most overweight towns to teach the residents how to make healthy food choices.

A town has already been selected and shooting will begin in August. The town’s name has not been released.

Jamie Oliver had a series in the UK called  Jamie’s School Dinners, that followed Jamie and his fight to get unhealthy food removed from school cafeterias. In the ABC program, Oliver will work in tandem with town officials to offer its residents better food options.

While the focus of the ABC show won’t solely be on lunch programs, Jamie want’s to help those in the town figure out where local produce can be found and what resources the town has for better, healthy living.
