跪求英语大神翻译

 


这是在在洛杉矶的华盛顿预备高中的午餐时间。Parrish Jackson,16岁,几乎没碰过她的汉堡和杏。她要把这些扔进垃圾桶里。
「杏是“酸”的,肉“很难吃“」,学生说。如果随她选,她也只拿土豆 - 那最接近薯条 - 之后前往学生商店买热小吃和果汁。
在洛杉矶的数百所学校就是如是。学生每天扔掉至少价值10万美元也许更多的食品,根据该地区的食品服务总监David Binkle说。每年浪费约1800万美元。
按2012年成立的全国的学校伙食规则,Parrish和其他学生必须至少有三种食品 - 其中一份水果或蔬菜 - 即使他们不喜欢。如果没有,政府不会偿还学区的饭钱。
“我们应该停止强迫孩子进食他们不喜欢的,然后把它扔进了垃圾桶,”Binkle说。
许多营养和健康专家不同意。他们指出,研究表明,反复接触水果和蔬菜,导致孩子将来吃更得多。这反过来,可能有助于预防肥胖及相关疾病,在加州大学洛杉矶分校的William J. McCarthy教授说。所以,浪费粮食的成本“是一项小投资”,他说。
学校营养协会开始关注浪费粮食的成本,并作出了努力改变儿童营养法。
“我们只是想改变,不必增加不必要的成本和强逼学生吃他们不愿意吃的食物,”该机构的现任总裁Julia Bauscher说。
其他营养专家都翻驳。哈佛大学营养学研究员Juliana Cohen说,规则帮助儿童 - 尤其是低收入家庭的学生,他们从学校伙食摄取每日所需热量的一半 - 多吃些富有营养的食物。
Cohen说,解决这问题不是把规则改回去,而是找到其他方式来鼓励孩子多吃蔬菜。与厨师们合力把饭菜弄得更美味和在学校设立菜园都是方法之二,Cohen和McCarthy认为。

原文全文如下:
It’s lunchtime at Washington Preparatory High School in Los Angeles. Parrish Jackson, 16, has barely touched her burger and apricots. She’s about to throw them into the trash can.
The apricots are “sour” and the meat is “nasty”, the student says. If it were up to her, she would just have taken the potatoes – they’re close to fries – then headed to the student store for hot snacks and juice.
That’s how it goes at hundreds of schools in Los Angeles. Students throw out at least $100,000 worth of food a day – and probably far more, according to David Binkle, the district’s food services director. That is a waste of about $18 million per year.
But under the country’s school meal rules set in 2012, Parrish and other students must take at least three items – including one fruit or vegetable – even if they don’t want them. If not, the government won’t pay back school districts for the meals.
“We should stop forcing children to take food they don’t like and throw it in the garbage ,” Binkle said.
Many nutrition and health experts disagree. They point to studies that show that repeated exposure to fruits and vegetables leads children to eat more of them in the future. That, in turn, could help prevent obesity and related diseases, said William J. McCarthy, a professor at University of California, Los Angeles. So, the cost of wasted food “is a small investment”, he said.
The concerns over the cost of wasted food have made the School Nutrition Association start working to change the child nutrition law.
“We just want changes that don’t unnecessarily increase cost and force students to take foods they have no intention of eating,” said Julia Bauscher, the group’s president-elect.
Other nutrition experts are pushing back. Juliana Cohen, a Harvard University nutrition researcher, said the rules have helped children – especially low-income students who get up to half their daily calories from school meals – eat more nutritious food.
The solution to food waste, Cohen said, isn’t to roll back the rules but to find other ways to encourage children to eat their vegetables. Working with chefs to make meals tastier and planting school gardens are both ways to do so, Cohen and McCarthy argue.
