因怕疫情不出门不上街,加国夫妻一年没买食物
在疫情期间,很多人都因为无法去工作而发展了一些新的兴趣爱好。卑诗省Pender Island一对夫妇Stef Lowey和Chris Hall创下一个纪录,两人自去年8月3日起至今没有买过任何食物,一年来他们所有食物都自给自足。

今年38岁的 Chris Hall 和 24 岁的 Stef Lowey之前都在酒店工作,疫情开始时,两人便失业了。于是夫妻俩做了一个十分特别的决定:用一年时间只吃他们可以种植、收获、饲养或捕获的食物,总之是不花一分钱去买食物。

这无疑是一个挑战,夫妇说,他们的这个挑战迫使他们吃得比以往更健康。他们准备了鳕鱼,上面放着螃蟹和自制的香蒜酱,还有沙拉和土豆。

Chris说,前三周是最艰难的。一次性戒掉咖啡、酒精、糖和小麦对他们的身体系统来说来说是一种巨大冲击。

至于做出这个决定的原因,Hall是这样说的,“大流行让我们意识到,我们是多么依赖杂货店和超市,是它们为我们提供了食物。”“我们只是想尝试一下能不能光靠自己的力量生活下去。”

开始这段生活的第一步就是断舍离,他们将家中的所有包装和加工食品,甚至是酒和咖啡,都送给了亲朋好友,可以说是断的非常彻底了。
随后两个人开始依靠网络和书籍来研究一些基本的生活知识,比如说养鸡或者养蜂,此前两个人对这些是一窍不通的。

Lowey表示,“我们一下子放弃了很多东西,刚开始身体是很不适应的,我们要计算出我们所需的能量水平,还得平衡它。”Hall则说:“以前的时候,我们习惯想吃什么就去买什么。”

“现在我们每周都在试着学习一些新东西,找到可以食用的物品,加入到我们的饮食中。”
在这期间,他们克服了很多困难,比如说有一次他们的船抛锚了,就不得不放弃海鲜;还有一次,他们将收割的葵花籽压成油,储存在了地下室,结果却变质了…

在这期间,他们建了一个小农场,那里有鸡、火鸡、鸭子、鹌鹑、蜜蜂、几头猪,还种着几十种蔬菜和水果。
两人还会去捕虾和螃蟹、各种应季鱼类、可食用的海藻,就连他们食用的盐,都是从海里提取和晒干的。

更重要的是,在这段过程中,两个人的身体也更好了,因为他们平常吃的都是一些很健康的食物。

Lowey还说,感觉自己和丈夫的关系更加亲密了,因为两个人一起同甘共苦,享受着生活。

他们从去年八月初开始这种生活,到今年八月初已经整整一年了。这一年他们做了很多改变,这对夫妇表示,他们打算继续这种生活方式,不过不会像以前那么严格了。

“我们可能会时不时去喝杯咖啡,或者偶尔出去吃顿饭,这样的生活应该会更有乐趣。”
