「未来の食卓」を考える

そうそう。
銀座で友達に会う前に、
興味のあった映画にいきました。
ずっと見ようと思ってた。
その名も「未来の食卓」
フランスのドキュメンタリー映画です。

食料自給率が９０％を超えるフランス。
４０％程度の日本から見るとうらやましい数値。
でも農薬の使用量も世界でトップクラスだということを
この映画の存在で知りました。
現実には農薬の乱用に伴う健康被害が報告され
たくさんの農業従事者や
子供が苦しんでいるとのことでした。

ガン罹患率の推移などのデータを具体的に挙げ
問題について、解決策について
パリの国連で協議される様子も同時に記録されています。
農薬の乱用は人間だけでなく土壌も汚染するということを
シビアに伝えます。

豊かでおしゃれなイメージの国だけど
かかえる問題は深刻です。

その問題を解決したいと願うひとつの田舎の村が舞台で、
学校や老人ホームの給食を
すべてオーガニック（無農薬・低農薬）に
切り替えてゆく様子を追いかけています。
その活動を通じ、住民や子供が環境や食べ物ついて
いろいろ考え始めていく「変化」を映し出します。

国の問題を地球の問題と捉え、
オーガニックの給食が大好きで
日に日に舌と感性を研ぎ澄ませてゆく子供の姿が印象的。
そして大量にまかれる農薬の映像と
健康被害を訴える農業関係者の話にも
問題の大きさを伝える説得力を感じました。

けして対岸の火事ではなく、
日本にもありうる話だな、と
自分の食生活も含め
いろんなことを考えた１１０分でした。

※食は「人」を「良」くする。と書く！って誰かが言ってた。
楽しく食べること、生きるために食べること、
どんな風にでも食べることは必要だもんね。

◆An educational food movie◆
I went to see one moive which I've been interested in recently.It's French movie ''Nos enfants nous accuseront''.If it's translated into English by myself, it would be ''The future over the table''.It's a documentary movie that they had been focused on health problem caused by agricultual chemicals and one country village where was going to achieve all school lunch with organic products.

An self-sufficiency in food of France is over 90% and then our Japan's is around 40%.When I look at this, I'll feel so miserable and anxiety as the number means how much we can supply by our national products.However I knew one fact which was that France was one of the heavy user of agricultual chemicals through this movie.Actually, health problem cause by these chemical such as cancer and neuropathy were reported and many farmer and children are sufferig from these kind of desease.Farmars are strongly effected during their works and children are easily done as their body are still under growing and it's not strong enough.

Real date of percentage for cancer patients was been showing up and this film has been recorded how to face and slove these problem with the scene of the united nation conference which was hold in Paris.Overusing agricultual chemicals pollutes not only people also soil.The fact is really shocking and there is just silence.

France looked like a fashionable and wealthy in many parts, but these problems which they have are very serious and deeply hard to get the best solution.Then, as a one of trial, one small village in country side in Frace started to change school lunch into all organics which are produced there or near this village.This action used to be concerned that they can't accept many parents because of that the cost might go up.However, children started to love these organic lunch and learn about current enviromenral diestraction which happening around them and then almost all parents hope to contiue it and learnt problems of earth and enviroment from their kids.The change is one of parts we have to realise.

For me, the most impressive point was that children started to think it from as a national issue to grobal matter.They love organics and became more sensitive to taste those products' natural and healthy taste.Also,some scenes which a lot of chemical were spreaded to the fruits farm and farmes who appealed how much they had been affected by they were using.

These matter are NOT only other country's things, I believe.To keep our healthy life, we need to preserve this nature and make effort to stop making this worse.Inculding my diet, I thought many things.

In our language Japanese,relating food such as ''eat'' is combined with ''people'' and ''good''.Then we now understanding ''eat'' is the thing which makes people good or better!
