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 por Alice Waters, the ambassador of the school yard. I got involved because the cena mesa, tabla 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 más than any other place in the world. I grew up growing my own comida in our family garden. One of my best friends is a farmer. It’s been a primary focus of my life.
interviewer: We amor food!
jake gyllenhaal: I didn’t realize that I grew up in the slow comida movement. I see children who didn’t know any of these things—that they can grow their own comida 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 favorito! vegetable?
Jake Gyllenhaal:I’d say right now, after an extensive buscar 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. tu can eat it any form: cooked, raw…
interviewer: We trust anything tu say. Let’s backtrack…How do tu 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 amor más than anything. Being in gardens have been some of the most wonderful times of my life. Washing lechuga and watching things grow…you feel connected to the world. You’d be hard-pressed to find anything that connects tu 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!
