FOOD FROM THE LAND
We’re all different…
But food affects us all.
Wherever we live...
And whatever we do.
This woman is part of a growing trend in the west
for growing your own.
And around the world,
the place you call home
can dictate the food you eat,
and the life you live.
If you’re stranded in the rainforest
you have to make do with whatever food is available,
no matter how unpalatable.
There are plenty of foods eaten
by different cultures that would turn
the stomach of an average westerner.
The people of Samoa
welcome the return of the annual
Palolo worm migration.
It’s a rich harvest
and they’ll even eat them straight from the sea.
But in the western world,
we’re no longer tied to the foods we can produce.
If something’s out of season,
or doesn’t grow here, that’s fine.
It’s just shipped in from somewhere else.
Recently there’s been a move
towards more sustainable food production
with some living the good life
and growing their own.
Keeping your own chickens
avoids the need for battery farm eggs.
And vegetables don’t need a lot of space to grow,
but you will have to put up
with seasonal fluctuations.
You won’t find a supermarket
range of vegetables at the tail end of winter.
You’d be lucky to get a few small potatoes.
This getting ‘back to nature’
and using locally grown organic food,
is a backlash against modern food technology.
Farming has become big business.
Agriculture on a massive scale,
growing as much as possible
for the highest profits.
Food is now so highly processed
that we no longer know its origins.
Some would say
it’s destroying our association with the land.
There are children in the west today
who don’t even realise milk comes from cows.
They’ve no idea where their food really comes from.
We might think we need all this choice,
but it is possible for humans,
not only to survive,
but to thrive without any choice at all.
The frozen wastelands of Greenland
provide a very limited diet for the local Inuits.
But they are healthy.
A 1943 study showed
they have incredibly low rates
of heart disease.
prompting science to look at the health benefits
of omega 3 rich oily fish.
So where do people live the longest?
The Mediterranean diet is a long lived wonder.
Fresh ingredients and reliance
on olive oil seem to do the trick.
Japan has the highest average life span of all at 85 years.
Could it be because they tend to go for smaller portions?
Tests suggest that less food
could be the answer to a longer life,
for mice at least.
Proving it in humans is going to take a lot longer.
If it’s true, then in the western world,
where it’s possible to eat a day’s calories
in just one junk food sitting,
it’s amazing
we live anywhere near as long as we do.
So perhaps going back to food from the land
might be the healthiest way to live after all.

来自陆地的食物
每个人都是不同的个体
但都受食物影响
不论我们住在哪里
也不论是什么职业
这位女士赶上西方流行
自己种东西来吃
在全世界，家乡影响了我们的食物和生活
如果困在热带雨林中
你必需靠身边的食物求生
不论它有多难吃
有些文化吃的许多种食物
往往使西方人避之唯恐不及
每年，萨摩亚人都欢迎矶沙蚕的回迁
这种收获营养丰富
他们甚至从海中直接捞起来吃
在西方世界，我们不只吃自己生产的食物
即使过了产季或当地没有生产也没问题
只要从别处运来就好
近年来有种运动
倡导更持续的食物生产方式
有些人改善生活方式
自己种东西来吃
自己养鸡就不用买养鸡场的鸡蛋
种菜用的地也不需要很大
但必需忍耐季节波动
冬末时，不会有超市那么多蔬菜可用
最多只会有几小颗马铃薯
这种回归自然采用本地有机食品的风潮
是对现代食品科技的抵制
养殖已成为规模庞大的产业
农业开始大规模生产
极力提高产量以获得最大利润
食物经过层层处理
我们已经不知道它的来源
有些人说如此破坏了我们跟土地的关系
西方有些小孩甚至不知道牛奶来自母牛
他们不知道食物真正的来源
我们或许觉得需要这么多选择
但即使没有选择
人类一样不仅能生存还能活得很好
格陵兰的冰冻荒原
为当地因纽特人提供的食物极少
但他们相当健康
1943年，一项研究显示
他们的心脏病罹患率极低
促使科学界开始研究富含Omega 3的油鱼类的益处
哪里的人最长寿？
地中海饮食一直以来都是个奇迹
新鲜食材加上橄榄油似乎是关键所在
日本人平均寿命长达85年
是不是因为他们吃东西的份量较少？
实验显示少吃可能是长寿的关键
至少对老鼠而言是如此
要在人类身上证实还需要很长的时间
如果这是真的，那么在西方世界
一餐垃圾食物吃下的热量往往等于一整天的需求
我们能活这么久还真是奇迹
因此回归来自土地的食物
或许才是最健康的生活方式
