UJenny Liddle, owayengumphathiswa weThe Vegan Society:
“Uwathathaphi amaprotheni? O, kodwa awukwazi ukukuthola kanjalo! Awukwazi ukudla lokhu, kukhona ujusi wenkomo lapha! Kumelwe kube nzima ngempela ukuba yi-vegan. Angikwazanga ukudla inyama yemifino – ngiwuthanda kakhulu ubhekeni noshizi! Sengicishe ngidla inyama yenkukhu – ngidla inkukhu kanye kuphela ngesonto! Kodwa kwenzekani uma uhlala ogwadule futhi ungadla ikamela lakho kuphela? Kodwa amabhubesi adla inyama!
Lawa mazwi ayacasula ngoba akhombisa ukungawuqondi umbono wami kanye nokuntula inhlonipho. Nabo bakhathele kakhulu ngoba uzwa njalo. Kubonakala kwamukelekile ukusho lezi zinto, nakuba i-veganism iyinkolelo evikelekile. Empeleni kuwukugcona omunye umuntu ngokuba nombono ohlukile.”
U-Lauren Regan-Ingram, Umphathi We-akhawunti:
Kodwa izitshalo nazo zinemizwa, futhi uyazidla, ngakho kufanele uvele udle inyama.
U-Becky Smile, Umphathi We-akhawunti:
“Kodwa sekungamakhulu eminyaka sidla inyama, yingakho sinamazinyo” futhi “Ngiyazithanda izilwane, kodwa ukudla inyama kweqisa kakhulu.” Imboni yenyama nayo idlulele.
UJennifer Earl, umsunguli we-Chocolate Ecstasy Tours:
“Uyayikhumbula inyama? Futhi kuthiwani ngobhekeni? Kodwa kuthiwani ngamaprotheni? Ake uzame kancane!”
May Hunter, umqeqeshi wezobuciko:
“Kodwa ungakwazi ukudoba, akunjalo?”
U-Oifi Sheridan, Umhloli Wezokwakha:
"Ngifisa sengathi abantu bangayeka ukuthi, 'Ingabe uyazi ukuthi ukudla kwe-vegan akukubi ngempela?
Tianna McCormick, Inhloko Yelabhorethri Yomtholampilo:
“Ngifisa sengathi abantu bangayeka ukungitshela ukuthi ngokwesayensi sinesibopho sokudla inyama. Ngingusosayensi, ngikholwe, siphila kahle ngaphandle kwakhe.”
UJanet Kearney, umsunguli wewebhusayithi yeVegan Pregnancy Parenting:
“Ngifisa sengathi abantu bangavele bayeke ukukhomba izithelo ukuthi ziyi-vegan. “O, ungalidla leliwolintshi, liyi-vegan!” Ima. Vele ume.”
U-Andrea Short, isazi sezokudla:
“Ingabe kunzima ukuba yi-vegan? Pho udlani?"
USophie Sadler, uMqondisi Omkhulu:
“Ngifuna abantu bayeke ukubuza, 'Ingabe uzoqala futhi ukudla inyama uma usukhulelwe?' Akulungile neze njengoba ngisasanda kweva eminyakeni engu-20 futhi angishadile futhi angikazihleleli ukuqala umndeni okwamanje.”
U-Karin Moistam:
“Ngiphoxekile ngendlela eyisimanga ngabazali abacasuka uma ukhuluma ngokufunza izingane zakho ukudla kwezitshalo. Ngizwe zonke izinhlobo zezinto: ukuthi “akunamsoco ngokwanele”, ukuthi “akufanele uphoqe izinkolelo zakho zezombusazwe enganeni” ngoba “kuhlukumeza izingane”. Kuyaxaka ikakhulukazi uma kuvela kubazali abavame ukuyisa izingane zabo kwaMcDonald's nase-KFC njengokuthi ingcono kune-broccoli nobhontshisi.
Futhi, lapho uveza ukuthi izwe esihlala kulo liyafa ngokoqobo ngenxa yethonya lemvelo elibangelwa ukufuywa kwezilwane nabadla inyama, othile uyaphendula, “Ngicabanga ukuthi kubi, kodwa ngeke ngikwazi ukwenqaba inyama yenkomo, imnandi kakhulu.” Uyafuna i-steak noma iplanethi ukuze abazukulu bakho baphile?
U-Pavel Kyanja, umpheki omkhulu endaweni yokudlela yase-Flat Three:
“Ingabe inja yakho iyi-vegan? Nginoshokoledi, kodwa awukwazi ukuba nawo. Ingabe i-seabass vegan?
UCharlie Pallett:
“Udlani-ke?” Abantu abayizigidi ezi-3 e-UK badla imifino kanye nemifino, kusobala ukuthi sinokuthile esikudlayo. Bheka nje igama… VEGE-tarian (kusuka “kumifino” – “imifino”).
“Damn, bengingeke ngikwenze lokho.” Asinandaba noma ufuna ukudla imifino noma cha. Singadla imifino noma kunjalo, futhi ungadla noma yini oyithandayo!
“Ngikubheja okwesikhashana.” Ngikhonze imifino iminyaka engaphezu kwengu-10 futhi ngeke ngibuyele emuva, kodwa ngiyabonga ngempendulo yakho engacelwanga.
“Awukwazi yini ukudla i-Haribo? Kungani? Yeka ukuthi kuyisicefe! Yebo. Ukwethuka. I-Haribo iqukethe i-gelatin. Uma ufuna ngikuchazele ukuthi kuyini, thola ukuthi iyini imifino.
“Ukudla kwakho kufanele kube kuyisicefe kakhulu, udla into efanayo ngaso sonke isikhathi!” Eqinisweni, ukudla kwemifino kumnandi impela, futhi kunenhlanganisela yokudla ne-flavour eminingi engadalwa ngaphandle kwenyama. Ngikholwe, kunemifino engaphezu kweyodwa!
“Ngazama ukuba yimifino kanye…” Abadla imifino bajwayele ukuthi abantu abaningi “bazame” ukudla imifino ngesikhathi esithile.
“Ngeke afune ukuza, ungumuntu odla imifino.” Ukuthi singadli imifino akusho ukuthi asikwazi ukudla ezindaweni zokudlela noma ukuvakashela izindawo zokudlela zasendaweni noma ngisho nezitolo zokudla okusheshayo. Uzomangala ukuthi amamenyu amaningi anezinketho zabadla imifino, futhi ezinye izikhungo zinikeza imenyu yemifino. Ngakho ungacabangi ukuthi ungasishiya isimemo.”
U-Aimi, umphathi we-PR:
“Kungani ungumuntu odla imifino? Usinda kanjani? Kumelwe ukuba kuyisicefe. Awuyidli inyama? Ngisola ukuthi isoka lakho alijabule.”
U-Garrett, umphathi we-PR:
“Awunawo yini amaprotheni? Awuthandi ukuya ezindaweni zokudlela? Unani lapho?
