Isazi sezokudla esidumile saseMelika uHerbert Shelton, umbhali we-Perfect Nutrition, uthi: Ngokwemvelo, inyama, noma umhluzi wenyama, noma amaqanda akufanele inikezwe ingane, ikakhulukazi kuze kube yiminyaka engu-7-8. Kule minyaka, akanawo amandla okuqeda ubuthi obukhiwe kule mikhiqizo.
UDkt. Valery Alexandrovich Kapralov, inhloko ye-Moscow Naturopathic School of Health and Obstetrics, wathi: “Ukuze izingane zikhule ziphile kahle ngempela, ziqine futhi zihlale zinjalo kukho konke ukuphila kwazo, imfundo engokomzimba iyodwa akwanele. Kubalulekile ukuthi badle ngendlela efanele futhi, okokuqala, bangadli amaprotheni ezilwane. Khona-ke umzimba wengane uzokhula njengoba kufanele ngokwemvelo, futhi umuntu onjalo uzogwema izifo eziningi ezilungiselelwe labo abadla inyama.
I-USDA kanye ne-American Dietetic Association ibasekela kakhulu abazali abanikeza izingane zabo ukudla kwe-vegan kuphela. Ucwaningo lubonisa ukuthi izingane ezingadli imikhiqizo yezilwane zinempilo kakhulu kunoontanga bazo. Banengozi engaphansi ephindwe ka-10 yokuba nesifo senhliziyo nemithambo yegazi. Ngempela, kakade lapho zineminyaka engu-3 ubudala, izingane ezidla ngendlela evamile zinemithambo evalekile! Futhi, uma ingane idla inyama, inamathuba aphindwe ka-4 okuthola umdlavuza - futhi amantombazane anamathuba aphindwe ka-4 okuba nomdlavuza webele!
Ucwaningo olwanyatheliswa kuyi-Journal of the American Dietetic Association lubonisa ukuthi izingane ezingaphakelwa ukudla kwezilwane kusukela zizalwa zine-IQ engamaphoyinti angu-17 ephakeme, ngokwesilinganiso, kunoontanga bazo abadla inyama, ubisi namaqanda. Ucwaningo olufanayo luhlobanisa ukusetshenziswa kobisi ebuntwaneni nezifo ezinjenge-colic, izifo ezindlebeni, isifo sikashukela esincike ku-insulin, ukuqunjelwa, nokopha ngaphakathi. UFrank Oski, usihlalo wezifo zezingane eJohns Hopkins University, uthi: “Asikho isizathu sokuphuza ubisi lwenkomo kunoma ibuphi ubudala. Yayidalelwe amankonyane, hhayi abantu, ngakho-ke kufanele siyeke ukuyiphuza.”
UDkt. Benjamin Spock ugomela ngokuthi nakuba ubisi lwenkomo luwukudla okufanele kwamathole, luyingozi ezinganeni: “Ngifuna ukutshela abazali ukuthi ubisi lwenkomo luyingozi ezinganeni eziningi. Kubangela ukungezwani komzimba nezinto ezithile, ukungagayeki kahle kokudla, futhi ngezinye izikhathi kubangela isifo sikashukela ebuntwaneni.” Okuhlangenwe nakho kokudla okunomsoco eSiberia naseSt. Petersburg kubonise ukuthi izingane ezishintshela ekudleni kwemifino noma i-vegan, uma kuqhathaniswa nezingane ekudleni okujwayelekile okuxubile, cishe ziqinile kakhulu esikoleni nasezemidlalo. Baxazulula kalula izinkinga zezibalo eziyinkimbinkimbi, bafunde izifundo ezinzima nezigaba. Banesifiso sokusungula: bhala izinkondlo, udwebe, uhlanganyele emisebenzini yezandla (ukubaza ukhuni, ukufekethisa), njll.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, abazali bezingane ezinjalo abashintshela ekudleni okuhlanzekile abaphuzi iziphuzo ezidakayo, ngakho bahlala belinganisela futhi banake kakhulu izingane zabo. Emikhayeni enjalo, ukuthula nothando kuvame ukubusa, okuthinta kahle ukukhula kwezingane. Okuhlangenwe nakho komhlaba (eNdiya) kufakazela ukuthi izingane ezidla imifino azikho emuva nontanga yazo, futhi ziyabedlula ngisho ngokukhuthazela nokumelana nezifo. Isidingo sokudla amaqanda siyinganekwane nje eqhelelene ngokuphelele neqiniso abantu abaningi “bondliwa” ngalo.
