    More Americans prefer to get food at their local food markets. According to a new study of the University of Iowa (UI), it’s not just because these people believe the food is fresher and tastes better, but because they think they are following a kind of social duty — sharing a healthy lifestyle, helping save environment and so on.

    These so-called “locavores (土食者)” are shopping at farmers markets and joining food coops (食品合作社), because they enjoy knowing who grows the food. They are also driven to eat locally grown produce and meat because their promise to do so makes them feel a part of something greater than themselves.

    Vasi, an associate professor at the UI, said the local food market is a “moralized (道德化的) market”, and that is a market in which people combine economic activities with their values. Among the findings, the UI researchers discovered local food markets were more likely to develop in areas where local people had a strong promise to social duty, health and the environment. “It’s about valuing the relationship with the farmers and people who produce the food and believing that how they produce the food agrees with your personal values.” Vasi said.

    Vasi shared the results of the study at the American Sociology Association annual meeting in Chicago on Aug. 22, 2015. Researchers also did 40 interviews with consumers and producers in different local food markets in Iowa and New York.

    A recent report by the American Heart Association—an organization that encourages adults and kids to stay healthy—found that today’s kids are 15 percent less healthy than kids from years ago. What does that mean? Let’s say you’re a 12-year-old girl. You’re not a sports superstar, but you’re pretty good. Let’s say your mother was at the same kind of kid when she was at your age. Now imagine we could set up a mile race between you and your mother from 30 years ago. The study shows your mother would probably beat you in the race by 90 seconds. It was the same for boys. An average boy from 30 years ago would beat an average boy today.

    The scientists who did the study think there are some reasons for the big fall in fitness. First, too many of today’s kids are overweight(超重的), which makes it harder for them to run fast. Second, kids today don’t get enough exercise. Doctors say kids should get at least 60 minutes of exercise a day. That’s why it is important for schools to have P.E. classes.

    So what should kids do? If you don’t want your parents to think they are faster than you, don’t spend a lot of time playing video games, watching TV or movies. Instead, do things that will get you to move.

    1.What did the report find?

    ______________________________

    2.Would an average boy from 30 years ago beat an average boy today?

    ______________________________

    Diana Gopear has known Emily since she was a little baby. “I never liked the word step for step-parent because some people aren’t step-parents. Some people are worth being a step-parent but in our situation it was just the way it was, ” she said. And while the birthday gift probably won’t ever be the best, but it is the most valuable for her.
