Kunenkolelo evamile yentsha yaseMelika ene-Big Mac esandleni esisodwa kanye ne-Coca-Cola kwesinye… Abanye banezela kulesi sithombe amazambane athosiwe aphuma emlonyeni wabo. Yebo, ngokwezinga elithile, izibalo ezingenakulinganiswa zokusetshenziswa "kokudla okungenamsoco" - njengoba ukudla okusheshayo kubizwa nangokuthi e-United States, kuqinisekisa lokhu. Kodwa eminyakeni engu-5-7 edlule, enye inkambiso ekhuthazayo iye yavela eMelika: intsha ivame ukukhetha ngokuvuna ... ukudla "okungenamsoco" wemifino, esikhundleni senyama evamile! Kuhle noma kubi, uyanquma.
Ososayensi baseMelika, ngesizathu esithile, abavamile ukwenza ucwaningo ngenani lentsha edla imifino ezweni likaDeveli Ophuzi. Olunye lwezifundo ezinokwethenjelwa kakhulu ezitholakalayo namuhla luhlehlela emuva ngo-2005, futhi ngokwale datha, kukhona cishe u-3% wabantu abadla imifino e-United States phakathi kweminyaka eyi-8 ne-18 (hhayi lokho okuncane, ngendlela!). Futhi-ke, kuningi okushintshile kwaba ngcono kusukela lapho.
Ngo-2007, izazi zezokuhlalisana kwabantu zabona ukuthambekela okuthakazelisayo: intsha eningi yaseMelika ayikhethi "i-Big Mac" noma ubhontshisi othoswe ngesinqumelo (izimpawu zokudla okunomsoco waseMelika) - kodwa into engenanyama nhlobo. Ngokuvamile, ngokwezifundo eziningi, izingane kanye nentsha eneminyaka engu-8-18 ubudala ihaha ngokweqile ngokudla okusheshayo - ongazifaka kuwe ekuhambeni, lapho ugijima, futhi wenza ibhizinisi lakho. Abantu abakule minyaka abanaso isineke. Ngakho-ke, i-cutlet endala ephakathi kwamabhanisi amabili, eyengeze ukuhlupheka okukhulu ezweni ngenye yezinkinga ezimbi kakhulu zokukhuluphala emhlabeni, ithathelwa indawo ... enye, nakuba nokudla "okungenamsoco"! Ukudla okusheshayo kwemifino.
Ukuzivumelanisa kancane kancane nezidingo zabathengi, izitolo ezinkulu zaseMelika ziya ngokuya zibeka emashalofini abo "ama-analogue" emifino okudla okuthandwayo: amasemishi, umhluzi nobhontshisi, ubisi - kuphela ngaphandle kwezingxenye zezilwane. “Sivakashela abazali bami eFlorida minyaka yonke,” kusho uMangels, omunye wabaphenduli ekuhloleni okwenziwa yi-USA Today, “futhi kwakudingeka ngipakishe ipotimende lonke elinobisi lwesoya, itofu nokunye ukudla kwemifino. Manje asithathi lutho nhlobo!” UMangels umemezele ngenjabulo ukuthi angakwazi ukuthenga yonke imikhiqizo evamile ewumshayabhuqe wakamuva esitolo esiseduze nomuzi wabazali bakhe. “Akuyona indawo ethuthukayo kakhulu mayelana nokudla okunempilo,” egcizelela. Kuvela ukuthi isimo sishintsha sibe ngcono ngisho nasezindaweni zasemaphandleni zaseMelika, lapho umkhuba wokudla inyama nokunye ukudla okungezona imifino (futhi ngokuvamile okungenampilo) unamandla. UmMelika ojwayelekile (nomama wezingane ezimbili ezidla imifino ngokuzithandela), uMangels manje usengathola ubisi lwesoya, amasobho angewona enyama kanye nobhontshisi obusemathinini obungafakwanga kancane cishe kunoma yisiphi isitolo ezweni. Uphawula ukuthi izinguquko ezinjalo zijabulisa kakhulu izingane zakhe ezimbili, ezinamathela ngokuzithandela ekudleni kwemifino.
Ngaphezu kwezinguquko ezijabulisayo ekugcwaliseni izinto zokubala ezitolo, izitayela ezifanayo ziyabonakala emkhakheni wokudla kwesikole eMelika. UHemma Sundaram, ohlala eduze kwaseWashington, watshela abavoti ukuthi wamangala lapho, ngaphambi nje kokuba indodakazi yakhe eneminyaka engu-13 ihambe iye ekamu laminyaka yonke ehlobo, ithola incwadi evela esikoleni ayefunda kuyo imcela ukuba akhethele indodakazi yakhe edla imifino. imenyu. . Indodakazi nayo yayijabule ngalokhu kumangala, yathi esikhathini esidlule yayeka ukuzizwa “njengemvu emnyama”, njengoba inani labantu abadla imifino esikoleni sayo likhula. “Bahlanu abadla imifino ekilasini lami. Muva nje, anginamahloni okucela isobho elingenayo inkukhu endaweni yokudlela yesikole nezinto ezinjalo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, kithina (izingane zesikole ezidla imifino) kuhlale kukhona amasaladi emifino amaningi esingakhetha kuwo,” kusho intombazane yesikole.
Omunye owaphendula ocwaningweni, osemusha othanda imifino u-Sierra Predovic (17), uthe uthole ukuthi uyakwazi ukudla izaqathi ezintsha futhi adle i-hummus ayintandokazi njengenye intsha edla ama-Big Mac—ohambeni, ekuhambeni, futhi iwajabulela. . Le ntombazane ingenye yentsha eningi yaseMelika ekhetha ukupheka ngokushesha futhi idle ukudla kwemifino, okungase kuthathele indawo ukudla okusheshayo okuvamile kubantu baseMelika.
