Imihlahlandlela yezokudla yase-US ibuyekezwa njalo eminyakeni emi-5 kusukela ngo-1990. Ngo-2015, ikomidi lihlela ukuhlangana ukuze liguqule imihlahlandlela yokudla yenhlangano yamanje. Amalungu amasha aleli komiti izazi zezulu ezifuna “ukuzinza” kwesimo sezulu somhlaba. Amalungu amasha angabasekeli bemfundiso kahulumeni entsha okuhloswe ngayo ukudala inqubomgomo yokudla yendawo yonke kanye noshintsho lwezenhlalo.
Iziqondiso zokudla zikahulumeni azilitsheli lonke iqiniso. Kusukela ngeminyaka yama-90s, uhulumeni wobumbano uzame ukweluleka abantu baseMelika ukuthi badle kanjani futhi yini. Yize lezi zincomo zigqugquzelwa ngezinhloso ezinhle, zaba yimbobo yezintshisekelo ezikhona, ikakhulukazi ezimbonini ze-biotechnology, amakhemikhali nezobisi.
Iziqondiso zinikeza ulwazi oluyisisekelo, olunye lwalo oludukisayo. Lokhu kuhlanganisa izincomo zokusanhlamvu, okuvame ukunikezwa njengama-GMO anezithako zokwenziwa. Ubisi lwenkomo olungenayo i-pasteurized alunawo ama-enzyme futhi lugcwele amahomoni okukhula.
Akukho nokukodwa okushiwo ezincomweni zokudla okukhuthaza impilo, njenge-eleutherococcus noma impande ye-ginseng, eyenza ukusebenza kwesistimu ye-endocrine kujwayelekile. Akukho nokukodwa okushiwo nge-anticancer, ukudla okulwa nokuvuvukala okufana ne-turmeric ne-ginger. Kodwa-ke, lezi ziqondiso zikahulumeni ziyizithenjwa eziyinhloko zezinhlelo zokusiza zamasiko aseMelika kanye nezinhlelo zokusiza ezinjengokudla okungeziwe (izabelo zokudla), ukudla kwasesikoleni, ukukhangisa kwezolimo nezinhlelo zocwaningo, izibonelelo zokudla zamasosha ase-US, kanye nemihlahlandlela yokondleka ekunakekelweni okungeyena.
Ikomidi lizozwakalisa ukuxhumana phakathi komsoco kanye nokuguquguquka kwesimo sezulu futhi licele uhulumeni ukuthi “aguqule” inqubomgomo. Ngo-2015, ngokokuqala ngqa, iqembu labakhulumeli bendlela yokuphila yemifino kanye nokubaluleka kwayo empilweni yabantu baseMelika lingavela ekomidini. Kodwa imihlahlandlela emisha ngeke ikhuthaze ukudla imifino njengokukhetha okunempilo. Imihlahlandlela izokhanga kakhulu ekuguquguqukeni kwesimo sezulu kanye nesidingo sokusinzinzisa.
Phezu kwalokho, imihlahlandlela emisha cishe ayisho ukuba khona kwamazinga ayingozi ezibulala-zinambuzane, ama-antibiotics kanye nezithako ezishintshwe izakhi zofuzo emkhakheni wokunikezwa kokudla. UKeith Clancy, ongumeluleki wohlelo lokudla kanye nozakwabo omkhulu e-Institute for Sustainable Agriculture e-University of Minnesota, ukhuthaza ukuthi abantu baseMelika kufanele badle imifino ukuze banciphise ukuguquguquka kwesimo sezulu.
“Ngemva kweminyaka engu-30 ngilindile, iqiniso lokuthi ikomiti lisebenza ezindabeni zentuthuko esimeme lingijabulisa kakhulu,” kusho ilungu elisha laleli komiti, uDkt. Miriam Nelson. Ukholelwa ukuthi ukunciphisa ukusetshenziswa kwenyama kuzonciphisa i-carbon footprint yabantu baseMelika.
Ukuphawula kwekomiti kukhomba ukuthi imihlahlandlela emisha izogqugquzela ukusimama kokuguquguquka kwesimo sezulu kunokuba inikeze imfundo yangempela ngezingxenye ezithile zempilo kanye nesidingo sokugayeka kokudla ngendlela efanele. Isiqondiso samanje asibandakanyi ukukhuluma ngesidingo samavithamini, amaminerali, ama-antioxidants nama-fatty acids abalulekile, kanye nokubaluleka kwama-probiotics nama-enzyme ekusebenzeni kwesistimu yokugaya ukudla.
Ikomidi elisha aligxilile kwezemfundo. Eqinisweni, iphini likasihlalo wekomiti, u-Alice Lichtenstein, ugxile kakhulu ekuguquleni indlela abantu abadla ngayo ngenqubomgomo kahulumeni. Ungumlandeli wokuvalwa kweMeya yaseNew York uMichael Bloomberg kwezisoda ezinoshukela, ebeka lolu hlelo “njengoshintsho lwenhlalo” oluzosiza ukuguqula ukuziphatha kwabantu. Lolu hlelo lwagcina ludale ukucasuka komphakathi.
Ingabe uhulumeni uyazi ukuthi yini elungele impilo yakho? Ingabe inqubomgomo kahulumeni iyakucabangela lokho okungcono kakhulu kumuntu ngamunye? Ngokusobala, amandla entela awakwazi ukuphoqa abantu ukuthi bashintshe ukuziphatha kwabo. Ingabe imithetho nezinqubomgomo zikahulumeni zingakwazi ngempela ukuphoqa abantu ukuba badle imifino, noma ingabe uhulumeni ukhathazeke kakhulu ngokushintsha kwezinga lokushisa emhlabeni? Uhulumeni angabaphoqa kanjani abantu ukuthi badle ukudla okungenampilo ngempela? Uhulumeni usebenzisa kanjani inqubomgomo yomphakathi ukusabalalisa ulwazi ngemikhiqizo namakhambi okulwa nomdlavuza?
Ulwazi olumayelana ne-superfoods njenge-spirulina alufakiwe nakumhlahlandlela wokudla okunomsoco. I-Spirulina ingenye yemithombo ecebile kakhulu yamaprotheni yemifino nama-micronutrients emhlabeni. Kukhona nokushoda kolwazi mayelana namandla e-hemp njengomthombo wamandla, ukudla, imithi kanye nezinto zokwakha. Ingabe izinqubomgomo zikahulumeni ziqondiswa yilokho okulungele impilo yakho? Noma ingabe inqubomgomo entsha yentela inqunywa enye into ngaphandle kwalokhu?
