聪明可爱的Koa Halpern10岁时就有着与同龄人不一样的信念和梦想。一起看看Jackson先生对他的访谈(精选片段)。 I had the opportunity to contact a great young boy!!! His name is Koa Halpern. He is on a mission(使命)! His mission is to tell kids...and everyone to stop eating fast food! Read the interview(采访), and take a look at his website... MJ: When did you start Fast Food Free? Koa Halpern: I started Fast Food Free when I was 10 years old. MJ：What made you want to get involved with teaching other kids about food? Koa Halpern： I never really liked fast food but I never thought much about it. However all that changed when our first Korean exchange student（交换生）came. One of her first questions after arriving was “When can we go eat fast food?”. I was fascinated（迷住） by this. So when I was given an opportunity to do a research project at school, I decided to research fast food. I found that fast food impacts(影响) the world negatively( 消极地) in four major ways. It is bad for the people’s health, especially the obesity crisis(肥胖危机). It's also bad to the environment,the farm and food industry workers and farmed animals. Maya Angelo once said, “When you learn, teach. When you get, give.（当你学有所悟，就分享你的领悟，当你业有所成，就回馈你的成就。）” As a result, I was going to join an organization(组织 ) that helped people eat less fast food, but I found that no such company existed. At that point, I felt I had to take action(采取行动) so I began Fast Food Free. MJ：What are your favorite foods? Koa Halpern：Like many people in the.
Koa Halpern： I definitely think kids can make a difference in the world. One of my very strong beliefs( 信仰 ) is no matter who you are you can make positive changes(积极的改变) in the world. It is my hope that people use their time, talent and energy to realize their dreams. Also people can do small things like eating less fast food (or eating no fast food) and this will have a huge impact（产生巨大的影响）especially over time(特别是经过一段时间后). MJ：Finally, the question I ask everyone that comes to “Mr. Jackson's Zone”....If the world was listening, what would you say? Koa Halpern： I would say that there are many ways to change the world. Some of them change the world in a small way, but every little bit helps! I would also say that everyone can do their part（尽自己一份力量）, no matter how small, to save the world(拯救世界)! I would encourage people to support local farmers(鼓励人们支持当地的农民), organic agriculture(有机农业) and eating great food at home. As for processed foods(加工食品), I read labels(标签) and think about what I'm eating. I encourage adults and kids to become informed consumers(见多识广的消费者).Every time you buy food you can vote with your dollars and your choices for a better world. 微笑虽无声，却可以像一盏灯，照亮别人；善举虽无言，却可以是一团火，温暖别人。来自美国亚特兰大的外籍专家Dwight Jackson II将带你去感知平凡生活中不平凡的人或事；同时诚邀大家漫步英语学习乐园(http//mjz.ewstudy.com)，一起探求英语学习捷径。
