我是伯克利联合校区膳食营养部门的主管， 在我手下有90名员工 和17和服务站，为9600名儿童提供服务。
3.I’m doing 7,100 meals a day and I’ve been doing it for two years, trying to change how we feed kids in America.
平均每天我们要提供7100份午餐 并且已经持续了两年。 我们这样做的目的是为了改变在我们国家里给孩子提供膳食的方式，
4.And that’s what I want to talk to you a little bit about today.

5.These are some of my kids with a salad bar.
现在大家看到是孩子们在沙拉吧台前的照片。
6.I put salad bars in all of our schools when I got there.
我上任伊始，就在所有学校里设置了沙拉吧台。
7.Everyone says it couldn’t be done — little kids couldn’t eat off the salad bar, big kids would spit in it — neither happened.
当时，所有的人都认为这行不通 因为他们认为年幼的孩子够不着吧台， 而大点的孩子又会往里面吐痰，但事实上这两种现象都从未出现过。
8.When I took over this I tried to really figure out, like, what my vision would be: how do we really change children’s relationship to food?
当我接手这个职位的时候，我试图真正弄明白一些事情， 比方说，我的理想究竟是什么； 我们应该怎样做才能改变孩子和食物之间的关系？
9.And I’ll tell you why we need to change it, but we absolutely have to change it.
我想说的并不仅仅是为什么我们需要去改变， 而是我们必须要去改变。
10.And what I came to understand is, we needed to teach children the symbiotic relationship between a healthy planet, healthy food and healthy kids.
我逐渐意识到， 我们有责任给孩子们灌输 健康的地球，有益于健康的食物和健康的孩子 这三者之间的共生关系。
11.And that if we don’t do that, the antithesis, although we’ve heard otherwise, is we’re really going to become extinct, because we’re feeding our children to death.
如果我们不那么做的话，对立面将会是， 不是危言耸听， 人类将会灭绝， 因为我们的喂养方式会使孩子们一步步走向死亡。
12.That’s my premise.
这就是我的前提。
13.We’re seeing sick kids get sicker and sicker.
我们看到，身体差的孩子变得越来越虚弱。
14.And the reason this is happening, by and large, is because of our food system and the way the government commodifies food, the way the government oversees our food,
造成这种现象的原因，总的来说是因为 我们的食品体系 和食品商品化过程中政府采取的方式， 以及政府监管食品的手段，
15.the way the USDA puts food on kids’ plates that’s unhealthy, and allows unhealthy food into schools.
和美国农业部设定的食物进入孩子们餐盘的流通渠道 种种这些，都是不健康的，并且直接导致了那些对身体有害的食物进入了校园。
16.And by tacitly, all of us send our kids, or grandchildren, or nieces, or nephews, to school and tell them to learn, you know, learn what’s in those schools.
我们大家都心照不宣的把子女、 孙子、侄女、侄子送去学校， 并且告诉他们 学校教什么就学什么。
17.And when you feed these kids bad food, that’s what they’re learning. So that’s really what this is all about.
而当你给孩子们提供劣质的食物时， 这也是孩子们在学校里学到的一部分。这才是关键问题之所在。
18.The way we got here is because of big agribusiness.
我们走到这一步要拜那些农业综合企业巨头们所赐。
19.We now live in a country where most of us don’t decide, by and large, what we eat. We see big businesses, Monsanto and DuPont — who brought out Agent Orange and stain-resistant carpet —
总之，我们如今生活在一个我们大多数人没有权力决定我们吃什么的国度， 那些生产落叶剂和耐污地毯的大财团， 如Monsanto（孟山都）和DuPont（杜邦），
20.they control 90 percent of the commercially produced seeds in our country.
他们掌控着全美国百分之九十的商业化种子。
21.These are 10 companies — control much of what’s in our grocery stores, much of what people eat — and that’s really, really a problem.
仅仅十家公司， 就掌控着零售店里出售的大部分商品和食品， 这不能不说是个问题。
22.So when I started thinking about these issues and how I was going to change what kids ate, I really started focusing on what we would teach them.
因此，当我开始思考这些问题 以及思考怎样才能改变孩子们所摄入的食物时， 我开始把注意力集中在这样一个问题上，即我们应该给孩子们灌输些什么。
23.And the very first thing was about regional food — trying to eat food from within our region.
首当其冲我们要灌输给孩子们的是 区域性食品， 即尝试食用本地出产的食物。
24.And clearly, with what’s going on with fossil fuel usage, or when — as the fossil fuel is going away, as oil hits its peak, oil —
毋庸置疑， 随着化石燃料的不断消耗 和油价的持续飙升，
25.you know, we really have to start thinking about whether or not we should, or could, be moving food 1,500 miles before we eat it.
是时候开始思考 我们把食物从1500英里以外运送过来的这种做法 是否是可行的。
26.So we talked to kids about that, and we really start to feed kids regional food.
因此，我们和孩子们交流探讨这种现象， 并且开始让孩子们食用本地出产的食物。

40.And, you know, certainly antibiotics have been over-prescribed, but it’s an issue in the food supply.
抗生素的滥用不仅仅是医学界的现象， 同时也是食品供应中出现的问题。
41.One of my favorite facts is that US agriculture uses 1.2 billion pounds of pesticides every year.
我可以举一个很好的例子， 美国农业每年要消耗12亿磅的杀虫剂。
42.That means every one of us and our children consumes what would equal a five-pound bag — those bags you have at home — if I had one here
这就意味着我们每个人以及我们的孩子 要消耗大约5磅重的袋装农药， 就跟我们平时家里常用的袋子那么大，假设我现在手头有这样的一个袋子，
43.and ripped it open, and that pile I would have on the floor is what we consume and feed our children every year because of what goes into our food supply,
并且把它撕开， 把里面的东西摊在地上， 这就是我们自己和我们的孩子们每年摄入的农药量。 导致这一切的原因是因为流入我们食品供应环节中的农产品，
