jake gyllenhaal: That’s very nice of you!
interviewer: Tell us about your involvement with the Edible Schoolyard.
jake gyllenhaal: I’ve been involved with them for a couple of years. I’m titled 의해 Alice Waters, the ambassador of the school yard. I got involved because the 공식 만찬, 저녁 식사 표, 테이블 was always a place, since I was a young child, where we got to get together, and I actually got to know my family there 더 많이 than any other place in the world. I grew up growing my own 음식 in our family garden. One of my best 프렌즈 is a farmer. It’s been a primary focus of my life.
interviewer: We 사랑 food!
jake gyllenhaal: I didn’t realize that I grew up in the slow 음식 movement. I see children who didn’t know any of these things—that they can grow their own 음식 and learn about vegetables when they are at a primary level. It was everything to me, so I wanted to be involved. Since knowing about this organization, I’ve done everything I can.
interviewer: What’s your 가장 좋아하는 vegetable?
Jake Gyllenhaal:I’d say right now, after an extensive 검색 over the years and living the wonderful life that I’ve had so far, and after tasting many, many vegetables…cavolo nero. It’s like a really soft kale. 당신 can eat it any form: cooked, raw…
interviewer: We trust anything 당신 say. Let’s backtrack…How do 당신 know a farmer?
Jake Gyllenhaal: I was raised in Los Angeles, but I spent my summers, since I was born, in Martha’s Vineyard. My best friend, since we were little kids, lives there, and he’s a farmer. His whole family farms. I know it might seem odd, but it’s what I 사랑 더 많이 than anything. Being in gardens have been some of the most wonderful times of my life. Washing 상추, 상 추 and watching things grow…you feel connected to the world. You’d be hard-pressed to find anything that connects 당신 to the universe in the same way that planting a seed does.
interviewer: That’s so sweet! And now you’ve got a beard like a real farmer.
jake gyllenhaal: Seeds of growth!
