Umuntu ofuna ukushintsha indlela yakhe yokuphila ibe ngcono futhi athuthukise impilo yakhe kufanele acabange ngalokho akudlayo. Abantu abaningi ngokwengeziwe emhlabeni wonke bathola ukuthi ukugwema imikhiqizo yezilwane kuyinzuzo kakhulu empilweni yabo. I-Vegetarianism iba indlela yabo yokuphila, ukuqaphela kufika ukuthi umuntu akufanele abulale ezinye izilwane eziphilayo ukuze aziphe ukudla kwakhe. Akukona nje ukudabukela izilwane eziqhuba abantu ukuba badle imifino. Kunezizathu eziningi zokushintshela ekudleni okusekelwe ezitshalweni, kodwa okulandelayo yizizathu eziqinile zokudla kwemifino.
1. Izinzuzo zezempilo.
Lapho ushintshela ekudleni kwemifino (okulula ukwenziwa njengokufana nenyama, amaqanda nenhlanzi), umzimba womuntu uhlanzwa kuzo zonke izinhlobo zobuthi nobuthi. Umuntu akasabuzwa ubunzima esiswini ngemuva kokudla okuningi, futhi umzimba wakhe awusebenzisi wonke amandla awo ekugayeni ukudla okusindayo kwenyama. Umphumela uba ukuthuthuka okujwayelekile kwezempilo. Kuphinde kunciphise ubungozi bokutheleleka kanye nokutheleleka ngama-parasite. Njengoba kushiwo ngenhla, umzimba awusamoshi amandla, usebenzela ukuvuselela amandla. Abantu abadla imifino babukeka bebancane uma kuqhathaniswa nalabo abaqhubeka nokudla inyama. Isikhumba siyaqina, izinduna ziyanyamalala. Amazinyo aba mhlophe, namakhilogremu engeziwe ayanyamalala ngokushesha. Kunemibono engqubuzanayo, kepha ama-vegans amaningi athi azizwa elungile. Ngendlela, abadla imifino banenhliziyo eqinile namazinga we-cholesterol ephansi. Ngokwezibalo, abantu abadla imifino mancane amathuba okuthi bathole lesi sifo esesabekayo. Mhlawumbe kungukuthi nje umzimba wabo uhlanzwa lapho ushintshela ekudleni okusha.
izingqondo ezinkulu nezikhanyayo kwakungabantu abadla imifino kuphela: uBernard Shaw, u-Einstein, uLeo Tolstoy, uPythagoras, u-Ovid, uByron, uBuddha, uLeonardo da Vinci nabanye. Ingabe uhlu kufanele luqhubeke ukufakazela izinzuzo zokudla imifino ebuchosheni bomuntu? Ukugwema inyama kwenza umuntu abekezelele futhi abe nomusa kwabanye. Hhayi kubantu nezilwane kuphela. Umbono wakhe wonke wezwe uyashintsha, ukuqwashisa kwakhe kuyakhuphuka, umuzwa onembile uyaqala. Kunzima kumuntu onjalo ukuphoqa okuthile, ngokwesibonelo, ukumphoqa ukuthi athenge umkhiqizo angadingi nhlobo. Abadla imifino abaningi benza imikhuba eyahlukene yokomoya futhi bathatha umthwalo ophelele ngempilo yabo. Yize abanye abaphikisana nokudla kwemifino besabalalisa amahlebezi okuthi umuntu odla ukudla kwezitshalo uyacasuka futhi athukuthele, njengoba enengcindezi ngenxa yokuthi abakwazi ukudla ukudla okujwayelekile nezitsha. Okuyikho, empeleni, ukulutha okujwayelekile noma umkhuba we-banal. Lokhu kwenzeka kuphela uma umuntu uqobo lwakhe engaqondi ukuthi kungani edela inyama.
Ukukhulisa inkomo eyodwa (amashumi amaningana amakhilogremu enyama), udinga ukuchitha izinsiza eziningi zemvelo (amanzi, imikhiqizo kawoyela, izitshalo). Kugawulwa amahlathi ukuze kube amadlelo ezinkomo, futhi izitshalo eziningi eziphuma emasimini atshaliwe zisetshenziselwa ukondla izilwane. Ngenkathi izithelo zezihlahla nasemasimini zingaya ngqo etafuleni labantu abalambile emhlabeni. I-Vegetarianism, njengoba kuvela, futhi iyindlela yokulondoloza imvelo, ukuvikela isintu ekuzibhubhiseni. UVincent Van Gogh wenqaba ukudla inyama ngemuva kokuvakashela izibhicongo eningizimu yeFrance. Kuwunya lapho isilwane esingakwazi ukuzivikela sincishwa ukuphila okwenza umuntu acabange ngoshintsho olungase lube khona endleleni adla ngayo. Inyama iwumkhiqizo wokubulala futhi akuyena wonke umuntu ofuna ukuzizwa enecala ngokufa kwesinye isidalwa esiphilayo. Uthando ngezilwane nokuhlonipha ukuphila kungesinye sezizathu ezenza umuntu wanamuhla abe imifino eqinisekile. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi yimuphi umcabango oshukumisela umuntu endleleni yokudla imifino, enakekela impilo yakhe noma izwe elimzungezile, ukudla okunjalo kuya kuthandwa kakhulu unyaka nonyaka. … Nokho, ukushintshela ekudleni imifino kufanele kube isinyathelo esimisiwe, hhayi ukulandela ngokunganaki “imfashini”. Futhi izizathu ezingenhla zanele impela kulokhu.
Uma wazi noma yiziphi ezinye izizathu ezibalulekile zokushintshela ekudleni imifino okungabhalisiwe lapha, sicela ubhale kumazwana abekiwe kule ndatshana. Kuzoba wusizo futhi kuthakazelise abanye abantu.
