Igama lami nginguShebi, ngingumfundi waseBulgaria. Ngize lapha ngosizo lwe-World Link futhi sengihlale e-US izinyanga ezingaphezu kweziyisikhombisa manje.
Phakathi nalezi zinyanga eziyisikhombisa, ngakhuluma kakhulu ngesiko lami, ngenza izethulo. Njengoba ngizuza ukuzethemba ekukhulumeni phambi kwezilaleli, ngichaza izindaba ezicashile, futhi ngithola kabusha uthando lwami ngezwe lakithi, ngabona ukuthi amazwi ami angenza abanye abantu bafunde noma benze okuthile.
Enye yezidingo zohlelo lwami ukuthola uthando lwakho futhi ulwenze lube ngokoqobo. Ihlanganisa izigidi zabantu ababambe iqhaza ohlelweni. Abafundi bathola into abayithandayo bese bethuthukisa futhi basebenzise iphrojekthi “engenza umehluko”.
Isifiso sami ukushumayela imifino. Ukudla kwethu okusekelwe enyameni kuyingozi emvelweni, kwandisa indlala emhlabeni, kwenza izilwane zihlupheke, futhi kwenza impilo ibe nzima.
Sidinga indawo eyengeziwe emhlabeni uma sidla inyama. Imfucuza yezilwane ingcolisa imizila yamanzi yaseMelika ngaphezu kwazo zonke ezinye izimboni zihlangene. Ukukhiqizwa kwenyama nakho kuhlotshaniswa nokuguguleka kwezigidigidi zamahektha omhlaba ovundile kanye nokucekelwa phansi kwamahlathi asezindaweni ezishisayo. Ukukhiqizwa kwenyama yenkomo kukodwa kudinga amanzi amaningi kunalawo adingekayo ukuze kutshalwe zonke izithelo nemifino ezweni. Encwadini yakhe ethi The Food Revolution
UJohn Robbins ubala ukuthi “uyonga amanzi amaningi ngaphandle kokudla ikhilogremu yenyama yenkomo yaseCalifornia kunalapho ungagezanga unyaka wonke.” Ngenxa yokugawulwa kwamahlathi ngenxa yamadlelo, wonke umuntu odla imifino wonga ihektare lezihlahla ngonyaka. Izihlahla eziningi, umoya-mpilo owengeziwe!
Esinye isizathu esibalulekile esenza intsha idle imifino ukuthi imelene nonya lwezilwane. Ngokwesilinganiso, umuntu odla inyama unecala lokufa kwezilwane ezingama-2400 ngesikhathi sokuphila kwakhe. Izilwane ezikhuliselwa ukudla zibekezelela ukuhlupheka okubi kakhulu: izimo zokuphila, ezokuthutha, ukudla kanye nokubulawa okungavamile ukubonakala enyameni epakishiwe ezitolo. Izindaba ezinhle ukuthi sonke singakwazi ukusiza imvelo, sisindise izimpilo zezilwane futhi sibe nempilo engcono ngokudlula nje endaweni yekhawunta yenyama futhi sihlose ukudla kwezitshalo. Ngokungafani nenyama, ene-cholesterol ephezulu, i-sodium, i-nitrate, nezinye izithako eziyingozi, ukudla okusekelwe ezitshalweni akuqukethe i-cholesterol, kodwa kuqukethe ama-phytochemicals nama-antioxidants asiza ukulwa nama-carcinogens nezinye izinto eziyingozi emzimbeni. Ngokudla ukudla kwemifino nemifino, singanciphisa isisindo futhi sivikele—futhi ngezinye izikhathi siguqule—izifo ezibulalayo.
Ngicabanga ukuthi ukudla imifino kusho ukukhombisa ukungavumelani kwakho - ukungavumelani nezinkinga zendlala nonya. Ngizizwa nginomthwalo wemfanelo wokukhuluma ngokumelene nalokhu.
Kodwa izinkulumo ezingenasenzo azisho lutho. Isenzo sokuqala engasithatha kwakuwukukhuluma nothishanhloko wenyuvesi, uMnu. Cayton, kanye nompheki omkhulu we-faculty, u-Amber Kempf, mayelana nokuhlela uMsombuluko ongenanyama ngo-Ephreli 7. Ngesikhathi sesidlo sasemini, ngizokwethula isethulo ngokubaluleka kokudla imifino. Ngilungiselele amafomu ezingcingo kulabo abafuna ukudla imifino isonto lonke. Ngenze namaphosta anikeza ulwazi oluwusizo mayelana nokushintsha kusuka enyameni kuya ekudleni kwemifino.
Ngikholwa wukuthi isikhathi sami eMelika ngeke sibe yize uma ngingenza umehluko.
Lapho ngibuyela eBulgaria, ngizoqhubeka nokulwela - amalungelo ezilwane, imvelo, impilo, iplanethi yethu! Ngizosiza abantu bafunde kabanzi mayelana nokudla imifino!
