Kungani, uma inyama iyingozi kangaka, uhulumeni engathathi zinyathelo zokuvikela abantu? Lo ngumbuzo omuhle, kodwa akulula ukuwuphendula.
Okokuqala, osopolitiki bangabantu nje njengathi. Ngale ndlela, Umthetho wokuqala wepolitiki uthi ungabacasuli abantu abanemali nabanamandla nabangathatha amandla kuwe. Umthetho wesibili uthi ungatsheli abantu ngezinto abangafuni ukuzazi.noma beludinga lolu lwazi. Uma wenza okuphambene, bazovele bavotele omunye umuntu.
Imboni yenyama inkulu futhi inamandla futhi abantu abaningi abafuni ukwazi iqiniso ngokudla inyama. Ngenxa yalezi zizathu ezimbili, uhulumeni akasho lutho. Leli yibhizinisi. Imikhiqizo yenyama iyingxenye enkulu futhi enenzuzo kakhulu yokulima kanye nemboni enamandla. Inani lemfuyo e-UK kuphela lilinganiselwa ku-£20bn, futhi ngaphambi kwehlazo le-bovine encephalitis ka-1996, ukuthunyelwa kwenkomo kwamanye amazwe kwakungama-£3bn njalo ngonyaka. Yengeza kulokhu ukukhiqizwa kwenkukhu, ingulube kanye ne-turkey kanye nazo zonke izinkampani ezikhiqiza imikhiqizo yenyama njenge: ama-burgers, ama-meat pie, amasoseji nokunye. Sikhuluma ngezindodla zemali.
Noma yimuphi uhulumeni ozama ukukholisa abantu ukuthi bangayidli inyama uzobeka engcupheni inzuzo yezinkampani zenyama, zona ezosebenzisa amandla azo ngokumelene nohulumeni. Futhi, lolu hlobo lweseluleko ngeke luthandeke kakhulu kubantu, cabanga nje ukuthi bangaki abantu obaziyo abangayidli inyama. Kumane kuyisitatimende esiyiqiniso.
Imboni yenyama iphinde isebenzise izizumbulu zemali ikhangisa imikhiqizo yayo, isho ngezikrini ze-TV namabhodi ezikhangiso, okuthiwa, kungokwemvelo futhi kuyadingeka ukuba umuntu adle inyama. Ikhomishana Yenyama Nemfuyo ikhokhele u-£42 million kusukela kusabelomali sayo sonyaka sokuthengisa nokukhangisa enkampanini yethelevishini yaseBrithani ngezikhangisi ezinesihloko esithi "Inyama Yokuphila" kanye "Inyama Iwulimi Lothando". Ithelevishini ikhombisa izikhangiso ezikhuthaza ukudliwa kwenkukhu, idada ne-turkey. Kuphinde kube namakhulu ezinkampani ezizimele ezihlomula ngemikhiqizo yenyama: iSun Valley neBirds Eye Chicken, iMcDonald’s neBurger King Burgers, inyama eqandisiwe kaBernard Matthews kanye nekaMatson, iDanish Bacon, njalo njalo, uhlu alupheli.
Izindodla zemali zisetshenziswa ukukhangisa. Ngizokunikeza isibonelo esisodwa - McDonald's. Unyaka ngamunye, abakwaMcDonald's bathengisa ama-hamburger abiza izigidi ezingu-18000 ezindaweni zokudlela eziyi-XNUMX emhlabeni jikelele. Futhi umbono uthi: Inyama yinhle. Wake wayizwa indaba kaPinocchio? Mayelana nodoli wokhuni ovela ekuphileni futhi uqala ukukhohlisa wonke umuntu, njalo lapho eqamba amanga, ikhala lakhe liba lide, ekugcineni ikhala lakhe lifinyelela ubukhulu obumangalisayo. Le ndaba ifundisa izingane ukuthi ukuqamba amanga kubi. Kungakuhle uma nabanye abantu abadala abadayisa inyama bengayifunda le ndaba.
Abakhiqizi benyama bazokutshela ukuthi izingulube zabo zithanda ukuhlala ngaphakathi kwezibaya ezifudumele lapho kunokudla okuningi futhi asikho isidingo sokukhathazeka ngemvula noma amakhaza. Kodwa noma ubani oke wafunda ngenhlalakahle yezilwane uzokwazi ukuthi amanga aluhlaza lawa. Izingulube zasepulazini zihlala ngaphansi kwengcindezi futhi zivame ukusangana empilweni enjalo.
Esitolo sami esikhulu, ingxenye yamaqanda inophahla lotshani olunezinkukhu zokudlala phezu kwayo. Lapho ingane idonsa intambo, kudlalwa irekhodi le-chicken cluck. Amathreyi amaqanda abhalwe ukuthi “asanda kusuka epulazini” noma “amaqanda amasha” futhi anesithombe sezinkukhu endaweni eyimfunda. Lawa ngamanga owakholelwayo. Ngaphandle kokusho lutho, abakhiqizi bakwenza ukholelwe ukuthi izinkukhu zingazulazula ngokukhululeka njengezinyoni zasendle.
“Inyama yokuziphilisa,” kusho umthengisi. Yilokhu engikubiza ngokuthi amanga ayingxenye. Yebo, ungaphila futhi udle inyama njengengxenye yokudla kwakho, kodwa ingakanani inyama azoyithengisa abakhiqizi uma bekhuluma lonke iqiniso: “Amaphesenti angu-40 abantu abadla inyama asengozini yomdlavuza” noma “amaphesenti angu-50 abantu abadla inyama maningi amathuba okuba nesifo senhliziyo.” Amaqiniso anjalo awakhangiswa. Kodwa kungani kungadingeka umuntu aqhamuke neziqubulo ezinjalo zokukhangisa? Umngane wami othandekayo wemifino, noma imifino yesikhathi esizayo, impendulo yalo mbuzo ilula kakhulu - imali!
Ngabe kungenxa yezigidigidi zamaphawundi uhulumeni azithola ngezintela?! Uyabona-ke, uma kuhileleke imali, iqiniso liyafihlwa. Iqiniso linamandla ngoba uma wazi okuningi, kuba nzima ukukukhohlisa.
