Kwakukhona isikhathi lapho ukudla kwemifino kanye ne-vegan kwakuyingxenye ye-subculture encane emazweni aseNtshonalanga. Kukholakala ukuthi lena yindawo enentshisekelo yamahippie nezishoshovu, hhayi umphakathi jikelele.
Abadla imifino kanye nemifino babonwa yilabo ababazungezile noma ngokwamukela nokubekezelela, noma ngobutha. Kodwa manje konke kuyashintsha. Abathengi abaningi ngokwengeziwe baqala ukubona umthelela omuhle wokudla okusekelwe ezitshalweni hhayi empilweni kuphela, kodwa nakwezinye izici eziningi zokuphila.
Ukudla okusekelwe ezitshalweni sekuyinto evamile. Abantu abadumile basesidlangalaleni kanye nezinkampani ezinkulu bafuna ukuguqukela ku-veganism. Ngisho nokuthandwa kukaBeyoncé noJay-Z bamukele indlela yokuphila ye-vegan futhi batshala imali enkampanini yokudla ye-vegan. Futhi inkampani enkulu yokudla emhlabeni, i-Nestlé, ibikezela ukuthi ukudla okusekelwe ezitshalweni kuzoqhubeka nokuthandwa phakathi kwabathengi.
Kwabanye, yindlela yokuphila. Kuyenzeka ngisho izinkampani zonke zilandele ifilosofi yokuthi zenqaba ukukhokhela noma yini enomthelela ekubulaweni.
Ukuqonda ukuthi ukusetshenziswa kwezilwane ukudla, okokugqoka, nanoma iyiphi enye injongo akudingekile empilweni nasenhlalakahleni yethu nakho kungaba yisisekelo sokuthuthukisa umnotho wezitshalo onenzuzo.
Inzuzo yezempilo
Amashumi eminyaka ocwaningo abonise ukuthi ukudla okusekelwe ezitshalweni ngokungangabazeki kungenye yezinto ezinempilo kakhulu emhlabeni. Ukudla okudla okuvamile okusekelwe ezitshalweni kusiza ekwehliseni ukuvuvukala emzimbeni, kuthuthukise ukusebenza kwemithambo yegazi, futhi kunciphise nengozi ye-metabolic syndrome nesifo sikashukela.
Izazi zokudla okunomsoco ziyavuma ukuthi ezinye izinhlobo zamaprotheni ezilwane—amantongomane, imbewu, okusanhlamvu okusanhlamvu ne-tofu—ziyimithombo ewusizo nethengekayo yamaprotheni nezinye izakhi.
Ukudla okusekelwe ezitshalweni kuphephile kuzo zonke izigaba zokuphila komuntu, okuhlanganisa ukukhulelwa, usana, kanye nobungane. Ucwaningo luqinisekisa ngokungaguquki ukuthi ukudla okulinganiselayo, okusekelwe ezitshalweni kunganikeza umuntu zonke izakhamzimba ezidingekayo ukuze ube nempilo enhle.
Iningi lama-vegans kanye nabadla imifino, ngokocwaningo, bathola isabelo sansuku zonke esinconyiwe samaprotheni. Ngokuqondene nensimbi, ukudla okusekelwe ezitshalweni kungaqukatha okuningi noma okungaphezu kokudla okuqukethe inyama.
Akukhona nje ukuthi imikhiqizo yezilwane ayidingeki ukuze ube nempilo enhle, kodwa inani elikhulayo lezazi zokudla okunomsoco kanye nabasebenzi bezempilo bayavuma ukuthi imikhiqizo yezilwane iyingozi.
Ucwaningo ngokudla okusekelwe ezitshalweni luye lwabonisa ngokuphindaphindiwe ukuthi inkomba yesisindo somzimba kanye namazinga okukhuluphala aphansi kakhulu kubantu abadla ukudla okusekelwe ezitshalweni. Ukudla okunempilo, okusekelwe ezitshalweni kusiza nasekunciphiseni amathuba okuba nesifo senhliziyo, unhlangothi, umdlavuza, ukukhuluphala ngokweqile nesifo sikashukela, okuphakathi kwezimbangela eziyinhloko zokufa emazweni amaningi aseNtshonalanga.
Izimiso zokuziphatha
Eningini elikhulu labantu abaphila ezweni lanamuhla, ukudla inyama akuseyona ingxenye ebalulekile yokuphila. Isintu sanamuhla asisadingi ukuzivikela ezilwaneni ukuze siphile. Ngakho-ke, namuhla, ukudla izidalwa eziphilayo sekuyisinqumo, hhayi isidingo.
Izilwane ziyizidalwa ezihlakaniphile njengathi, ezinezidingo zazo, izifiso nezithakazelo zazo. Isayensi iyazi ukuthi, njengathi, bangathola imizwa nemizwelo ehlukahlukene, njengenjabulo, ubuhlungu, injabulo, ukwesaba, indlala, ukudabuka, isithukuthezi, ukukhungatheka, noma ukwaneliseka. Bayazi ngezwe elibazungezile. Izimpilo zabo zibalulekile futhi azizona nje izinsiza noma amathuluzi okusetshenziswa ngabantu.
Noma yikuphi ukusetshenziswa kwezilwane ukudla, okokugqoka, ukuzijabulisa noma ukuhlola ukusetshenziswa kwezilwane ngokungafuni, okubangela ukuhlupheka futhi, ezimweni eziningi, ukubulala.
Ukusimama kwemvelo
Izinzuzo zezempilo nezokuziphatha azinakuphikwa, kodwa ukushintshela ekudleni okusekelwe ezitshalweni nakho kuhle emvelweni.
Ucwaningo olusha lubonisa ukuthi ukushintshela ekudleni okusekelwe ezitshalweni kunganciphisa umthelela wakho wemvelo ngaphezu kokushintshela emotweni eyingxube. I-Food and Agriculture Organization yeNhlangano Yezizwe Ezihlangene (i-FAO) ilinganisela ukuthi cishe u-30% womhlaba ongambozwe yiqhwa usetshenziswa ngokuqondile noma ngokungaqondile ekukhiqizeni ukudla kwemfuyo.
Esigodini sase-Amazon, cishe amaphesenti angama-70 omhlaba wamahlathi ashintshiwe abe yindawo esetshenziswa njengamadlelo ezinkomo. Ukudlisa ngokweqile kuye kwaholela ekulahlekeni kokuhlukahluka kwemvelo kanye nokukhiqiza kwe-ecosystem, ikakhulukazi ezindaweni ezomile.
Umbiko wemiqulu emibili onesihloko esithi “Imfuyo Esesimweni Esishintshayo” wenze lokhu okulandelayo okutholakele:
1. Izilwane ezingaphezu kwezigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-1,7 zisetshenziswa ekufuyweni emhlabeni wonke futhi zihlala ngaphezu kwengxenye yesine yobuso bomhlaba.
2. Ukukhiqizwa kokudla kwezilwane kuthatha cishe ingxenye yesithathu yawo wonke umhlaba olimekayo emhlabeni.
3. Imboni yemfuyo, ehlanganisa ukukhiqizwa kanye nokuthuthwa kokuphakelayo, ibhekele cishe u-18% wayo yonke intuthu ekhishwa ngamagesi abamba ukushisa emhlabeni.
Ngokocwaningo lwakamuva lomthelela wemvelo wokuthatha indawo yenyama esekelwe ezitshalweni, konke ukukhiqizwa kwenyama yezitshalo kuholela ekukhiqizweni okuphansi kakhulu kunokukhiqizwa kwenyama yangempela.
Ukufuywa kwezilwane nakho kuholela ekusetshenzisweni kwamanzi ngendlela engafanele. Imboni yemfuyo idinga ukusetshenziswa kwamanzi okuphezulu, imvamisa iqeda izinsiza zasendaweni phakathi kwezinkinga ezikhulayo zokuguquka kwesimo sezulu kanye nemithombo yamanzi ahlanzekile elokhu incipha.
Kungani kukhiqizwa ukudla okudliwayo?
Ukunciphisa ukukhiqizwa kwenyama neminye imikhiqizo yezilwane akusekeli nje kuphela ukulwa nokusindisa iplanethi yethu futhi kunomthelela endleleni yokuphila esimeme futhi enesimilo.
Ngokulahla imikhiqizo yezilwane, awugcini nje ukunciphisa kakhulu umthelela wakho wendawo, kodwa futhi udlala indima yakho ekuthuthukiseni izimpilo zabantu emhlabeni jikelele.
Ukufuywa kwezilwane kunemiphumela efinyelela kude kubantu, ikakhulukazi kwabangakwazi ukuzisiza nabampofu. Ngokwe-World Health Organization, unyaka ngamunye kufa abantu abangaphezu kwezigidi ezingu-20 ngenxa yokungondleki kahle, futhi cishe abantu abayizigidi eziyinkulungwane bahlala belambile.
Okuningi kokudla okuphakelwa izilwane njengamanje kungasetshenziswa ukondla abalambile emhlabeni wonke. Kodwa esikhundleni sokuletha okusanhlamvu kubantu abaswele kakhulu nalabo abakhahlanyezwe yinkinga yokudla emhlabeni wonke, lezi zitshalo zinikezwa imfuyo.
Kudingeka isilinganiso samakhilogremu amane okusanhlamvu namanye amaprotheni emifino ukuze kukhiqizwe ingxenye yekhilogremu kuphela yenyama yenkomo!
Izinzuzo zomnotho
Uhlelo lwezolimo olusekelwe ezitshalweni alulethi nje kuphela izinzuzo zemvelo nezobuntu, kodwa futhi nezomnotho. Ukudla okwengeziwe okuzokhiqizwa uma abantu base-US beshintshela ekudleni kwe-vegan kungaphakela abantu abayizigidi ezingama-350 ngaphezulu.
Le nsalela yokudla izonxephezela konke ukulahlekelwa okuvela ekuncipheni kokukhiqizwa kwemfuyo. Ucwaningo lwezomnotho lukhombisa ukuthi ukukhiqizwa kwemfuyo emazweni amaningi aseNtshonalanga kukhiqiza ngaphansi kuka-2% we-GDP. Ezinye izifundo e-US ziphakamisa ukwehla okungaba khona kwe-GDP cishe ngo-1% ngenxa yokushintshela kwezwe ku-veganism, kodwa lokhu kuzoxazululwa ukukhula kwezimakethe ezisekelwe ezitshalweni.
Ngokocwaningo olushicilelwe kumagazini waseMelika i-Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), uma abantu beqhubeka nokudla imikhiqizo yezilwane, kunokuba bashintshele ekudleni okusekelwe ezitshalweni, lokhu kungabiza i-United States kusuka ku-197 kuya ku-289 billion. amadola ngonyaka, futhi Umnotho womhlaba ungalahlekelwa kuze kufike ku-$2050 trillion ngo-1,6.
I-US ingonga imali eningi ukwedlula noma yiliphi elinye izwe ngokushintshela emnothweni osekelwe ezitshalweni ngenxa yezindleko eziphezulu zezempilo zomphakathi. Ngokusho kocwaningo lwe-PNAS, uma abantu baseMelika bevele balandele imihlahlandlela yokudla okunempilo, i-US ingasindisa amaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-180 ezindlekweni zokunakekelwa kwezempilo kanye namaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-250 uma beshintshela emnothweni osekelwe ezitshalweni. Lezi yizibalo zemali kuphela futhi azikunaki ngisho nokuthi kusindiswa izimpilo ezilinganiselwa ku-320 ngonyaka ngokunciphisa izifo ezingelapheki nokukhuluphala ngokweqile.
Ngokocwaningo olwenziwa yi-Plant Foods Association, umsebenzi wezomnotho embonini yokudla kwezitshalo yase-US iyodwa cishe ungaba izigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-13,7 zamaRandi ngonyaka. Emazingeni okukhula amanje, imboni yokudla okusekelwe ezitshalweni kulindeleke ukuthi ikhiqize amaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-10 emalini yentela eminyakeni eyi-13,3 ezayo. Ukuthengiswa kwemikhiqizo yamakhambi e-US kukhula ngesilinganiso esingu-8% ngonyaka.
Konke lokhu kuyizindaba ezithembisayo zabagqugquzeli bendlela yokuphila esekelwe ezitshalweni, futhi izifundo ezintsha ziyavela ezibonisa izinzuzo eziningi zokugwema imikhiqizo yezilwane.
Ucwaningo luqinisekisa ukuthi, emazingeni amaningi, umnotho osekelwe ezitshalweni uzothuthukisa impilo yonke kanye nokuphila kahle kwabantu emhlabeni wonke ngokunciphisa indlala emazweni asathuthuka kanye nokunciphisa izifo ezingapheli emazweni aseNtshonalanga. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, iplanethi yethu izothola ikhefu elincane emonakalweni obangelwa ukukhiqizwa kwemikhiqizo yezilwane.
Phela, ngisho noma ukuziphatha nokuziphatha akwanele ukukholelwa ezinzuzweni zendlela yokuphila esekelwe esitshalweni, okungenani amandla e-dollar anamandla kufanele akholise abantu.
