So no-one is upset about it, it is a decision by the elders.
所以 我们没有了可乐
And so we don’t have Coke.
麦威瑞项目正在起作用
Mai Wiru was working
在很短的时间里 阿玛塔的
and in a very short time Amata had
耗糖率在该地区成为了最低
the lowest rate of sugar consumption in the region.
我待过的其他社区
With the level of sugar consumption
的耗糖量 数字巨大
in other communities I’ve been in, it’s astronomical.
这个项目风头正劲
It is over the top.
我认为麦威瑞团队
I think the Mai Wiru group,
就自身出发 可以教给其他社区很多东西
in itself, could teach a lot of the other communities a lot.
但是正当一切事务似乎都步入正轨的时候
But just when everything seemed to be headed in the right direction,
政♥府♥削减了该项目的资金
the government slashed Mai Wiru’s funding.
组织里面基本没人了
The organisation is now left with a skeleton of staff,
营养学家第一个就走了
the nutritionist was the first to go.
讲皮詹加加拉语和杨固尼加加拉语的人
The Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara people
才真正知道怎么回事 因为这是他们的想法
really feel it because it was their idea.
就比如说 他们才是意识到出了问题的人
Like, they’re the ones who saw the problem,
他们埋葬了自己的人♥民♥
they’re the ones who bury their own people,
他们是真正想要做出改变的人
they’re the ones who wanted to make a change
但是他们完全被忽视了
and they’ve been totally ignored,
联邦和州政♥府♥
overridden and having funding taken off by
完全不理会他们 也不拨款
the Federal and State governments
他们反而被抛给了非土著组织
and given to a non-Aboriginal organisation.
这实在让人无法容忍♥
It’s really quite outrageous.
令我吃惊的事是
The thing that struck me about Amata
尽管阿玛塔已经不卖♥♥可乐了
is that although Coke is gone,
但是没有营养学家继续给他们普及知识
without a nutritionist to continue the education
人们还是会去消费大量的
people are still consuming vast amounts of sugar
其他含糖产品
in other products.
所以他们的健康还是遭受影响
And their health is suffering as a consequence.
现在有许多人在做透析
因为吃了不好的东西
还有一些人生病了
心脏病 哮喘病
都是坏食物的错
国外有一种看法
There’s a perception abroad
他们认为肥胖和糖尿病
that the problems with obesity and diabetes
和酒精有关系
may be related to alcohol,
但是在阿玛塔一直没人饮酒
but here at Amata it’s been a dry community
自从它建立以来 所有的健康问题
ever since it was established, so all of the health problems,
包括糖尿病和肾衰竭
including diabetes and kidney failure,
都和饮食有关
is all related to the diet.
约翰提议带我去一个特别的地方
John offered to take me to a special place
那里可以感受到没有了麦威瑞项目所带来的影响
where the full effects of a disabled Mai Wiru can be felt.
几乎我认识的每一个人都埋在这里
I’ve known almost everyone buried here.
我的一些家人也葬在这里
I’ve got family members buried here.
这里的五个都是四十岁以下的人的坟墓
These five graves here are all people under 40.
那里埋的也是个年轻人
That’s another young person in there.
这里是两个姐妹和一个兄弟
A whole group up here of two sisters and a brother
他们都是因为肾衰竭过世的
who all passed away from kidney failure.
这里的大多数死亡都是过早的
Most of these deaths here are premature
这些死亡本都可以通过正确的饮食和
and could have been avoided with correct diet
摄取健康的食物来避免的
and access to affordable healthy food.
这完全就是个悲剧
It’s a complete tragedy.
在阿玛塔呆了四天以后
After four days in Amata,
我想到 我身体正所经历的变化
it occurred to me that what is happening to my body
可能正是发生在这里
is perhaps a concentrated version
和许多其他本地居民
of what has happened here
的浓缩版
and in many other Indigenous communities.
我已经戒糖很久了
I’d been sugar-free for a long time
但现在 突然之间让我自己接受一个高糖的饮食
and now, by suddenly subjecting myself to a high-sugar diet,
影响实在是太快且激烈了
the effects have been both rapid and acute.
如果不立马采取措施
If immediate action isn’t taken
修正到麦威瑞项目曾指明的
to restore the positive direction
正确的方向
that Mai Wiru was heading in,
那么 地球上最古老的现存文化
then the oldest living culture on earth
将很有可能灭绝
is in great danger of disappearing.
哦 看那个
Oh, look at that.’
81 2千克
81.2.
81 2千克
81.2
-好吧 那是多少 -1 6千克
-OK, so what’s that in… -1.6 kilos.
所以一个月内我重了五千克
So in a month I’ve put on five.
差不多
Something like that.
-七十六千克 -对 你开始是七十六千克
-76. -You started out at 76, yeah.
超出五千克了
Over five kilos.
-我的天啊 -怎么了
-Oh, my God. -What?
等等 那是…等等 别告诉我
Hang on, is that a… Hang on, don’t tell me.
91厘米
91.
-91厘米 -91厘米
-91?! -91.
好吧 那就是七厘米
So, OK, 7cm.
七厘米
7cm.
如果我接下来三到四个月 也继续这样
If I keep going for the next three or four months
以这样的强度 我是不是就基本上快得肥胖症了
at these levels, would I be knocking on the door of obesity?
绝对的 你已经离它不远了
Definitely. You haven’t got far to go.
我吃得比我应该吃的多得多了
I’m eating a lot more than I would.
嗯 我比以前来说吃太多零食了
Um… I’m snacking a lot more than I would have before.
我很难感觉到饱
I find it very hard to feel full.
这并没什么可惊讶的 因为你没有吃什么好的脂肪
Not surprising because you’re not eating very much good fats
或者蛋白质
or proteins.
脂肪和蛋白质
It’s the fat and the protein
才是真正帮助我们增加饱腹感的
that actually helps us feel fuller.
那些我们被告知是对我们好的
All the low-fat foods that we’ve been told are good for us
我们应该吃的低脂食物
and that we should be eating
实际上有更高糖分的倾向
actually tend to be higher in sugar anyway,
就像你知道的那样
as you know,
他们并不会让我们有饱腹感
and they’re not helping us to feel full.
糖的影响
With the effects of sugar
正明显对我的身体造成损害
now clearly taking a toll on me,
而且 在见证了它对阿玛塔带来的毁灭之后
and having witnessed its devastation in Amata…
我在打包行李
I’m packing.
我需要和一些比我
I needed to talk to some people
更懂糖这东西的人谈谈
that knew a lot more about the subject than I did.
看看你身后
Have a look behind you.
它挂在橱柜门上呢
It’s hanging off my cupboard door.
现在是向
It was time to head to
便利的文化之都
the cultural capital of convenience,
加工食物和糖类产业的朝圣地
the mecca of the processed food and sugar industry,
如今排名第一的
and the current number-one-ranked
世界上有最多胖子的地方去了
world obesity champion…
注意 美国
Look out, America.
甜爹来啦
Here comes Sugar Daddy.
我们现在在美国
So, we’re here in America.
第一天 倒时差
Day one, jet lag.
我刚刚去坚宝果汁给自己买♥♥了杯这个
So I just went in to Jamba Juice and got me one of these.
一百三十九克糖啊
139 grams of sugar.
我实际上真的需要计算下
I actually need the calculator for this.
那是
That…
那是三十四茶匙的糖
that is 34 teaspoons of sugar…
就这么一杯饮料
in that drink.
我们始于一个搅拌机和实在的好水果和其它自然原料人工口味 绝不果葡糖浆
绝没有坚宝果汁承诺给您和您的健康保驾护航就是这么简单
这杯的糖量差不多赶上我一天允许摄取的糖量了
That is nearly my daily allowance in this cup.
多么棒的时差治愈剂啊
What a great jet lag cure.
哇 哇 哇 哇
Wow, wow, wow, wow.
如果我要摄取和这杯冰沙
Now, if I was to eat the same amount of sugar
同样量的糖
that was in that smoothie
但是通过吃正常水果的方式
but the sugar was in its original fruit packaging
那我要吃四个桃子 九个青柠
I would have to eat four peaches, nine limes,
三十个柠檬和三十颗草莓
30 lemons and 30 strawberries.
这量对要冬眠的熊来说可能是可以的
This might be fine for a bear about to go into hibernation,
但对认为自己在做一个健康决定的人来说
but it can have damaging effects for a human
绝对有不好的影响
who thinks they are making a healthy choice.
如今 一个有趣的矛盾 就是这个
One of the interesting conflicts today is this idea,
被我们政♥府♥推广的主意
pushed by some of our government…
