2010年11月,于美国艾西维尔市举办的TEDxNextGeneration讲座的台上,站着一位11岁的宣讲者Brike Baehr。他自言跟一般的美国少年们无异,吃着工业产品成长,以为广告里那些快乐的农夫、活泼的胖猪是真的。也许不只是他,从来没有见过口中佳肴从何而来的我们,都有同样的误解。十多万年前狩猎采果的时期,人类为了方便采摘食物,便在栖息地附近种植一些品种的果实。以当时的概念来说,食物应是越接近居住环境为佳。城市概念的逐渐形成,使乡村与城市开始分隔,种植食物的土地与家居住宅的距离渐次拉远。随着石土建筑物的大规模出现,城市逐渐形成机械化的粮食生产系统。挤在高楼大厦的隔隙当中,我们不用担心食物从何而至,只需要站在食物生产链的尾端安享远方农田的辛劳成果,在都市饮饱食醉。诚如《Hungry City》作者Carolyn Steel所说:“我们生活在都市,认为一切都是理所当然,忘记了我们也是动物,也需要食物,我们跟古代的祖先一样赖大自然为生。当越来越多的人迁进城市,大自然的世界就逐渐被转化为像巴西Mata Grosso的豆田般美丽的土地。但是这些景物,我们甚少看到。”
In November 2010, at the TEDxNextGeneration lecture in Asheville, USA, there stood an 11-year-old presenter Brike Baehr. He said he was no different from the average American boy, eating industrial products and thinking that the lively fat pigs were the happy farmers in the advertisements. Perhaps not just him, we have never seen the food from wherever we come, have the same misunderstanding. During the hunting and harvesting of more than one hundred thousand years ago, in order to facilitate the picking of food, humans planted some varieties of fruit near the habitat. In the conception of the time, food should be as close as possible to the living environment. The gradual formation of the concept of the city, the countryside and the city began to separate, the distance between the land for planting food and the residential house gradually. With the massive appearance of stone buildings, the city gradually formed a mechanized food production system. Squeeze in the gap between high-rise buildings, we do not have to worry about food from where, just need to stand at the end of the food production chain to enjoy the far-reaching achievements of farmland, drunk in the city. As Carolyn Steel, author of “Hungry City,” put it: “We live in cities and take it for granted that we forget that we are animals and we need food, and that we live on the same nature as ancient ancestors. The more people move into the city, the world of nature is gradually transformed into beautiful land like the bean fields of Brazil’s Mata Grosso, but we seldom see these scenes. ”"
