I can't find the link at the moment but one health expert said the changes should have been slowly introduced, giving the children time to get used to the changes.
I'm slightly biased as I cannot stand anything about Jamie Oliver but I couldn't help feeling his campaign was little more than a publicity stunt for many.

I had two children.The eldest decided at 18 months that she wasn't going to eat another vegetable(or fruit).She stuck to it through thick and thin and despite everything I tried(and boy was I sneaky about what I tried).Now she is 24 she keeps telling me the vegetables that she now eats(she has a vegetarian partner).
So I think I know how slow it can be.
The youngest ate everything I gave him and still does at 20..bless him.
The fact is even your expert will have to admit that something HAD to be done and it wouldn't even have happened if JO hadn't bothered.Slow or fast it needed pointing out.
