Ama-Vegan awawona ama-vegetarian snobs. I-Veganism, eye yachazwa ngokuthi "isandiso semvelo sokudla imifino," empeleni iwukudla okunemingcele kakhulu.
Ngakho kuyini “ukuqhubeka”?
Ama-Vegan agwema noma yimiphi imikhiqizo yezilwane.
Kungase kubonakale kulula ukugwema imikhiqizo yezilwane, kodwa uma ucabanga ngakho, ama-vegans agwema noma yikuphi ukudla okuqukethe ubisi, ushizi, amaqanda, futhi (ngokusobala) noma yiluphi uhlobo lwenyama. Lokhu kusho ukuthi awukwazi ukudla ama-bacon cheeseburgers. Abanye bethu baphatheke kabi ngakho. Amanye ama-vegans adabukile ngama-bacon cheeseburgers.
Inani elikhulu labantu liphenduka imifino ngoba likhetha ukudla ngaphandle konya. “Angikwazi ukwamukela umqondo wokudla umuntu onenhliziyo eshayayo,” kusho indoda esanda kuzalwa uKara Burgert, oseneminyaka eyisithupha edla inyama.
Umfundi owenza unyaka wesithathu uMegan Constantinides uthi: “Nganquma ukudla inyama ngokuyinhloko ngenxa yezizathu zokuziphatha nezokuziphatha.”
URyan Scott, umfundi owenza unyaka wesine, wasebenza ekhaya njengomsizi wezilwane. "Ngemuva kokunakekela nokusiza izilwane isikhathi eside, izinkinga zokuziphatha zikhuthaze ukuguqukela kwami ku-veganism."
I-Vegetarian freshman uSamantha Morrison uyakuqonda ukuzwela izilwane, kodwa akaboni sizathu sokuhamba nge-vegan. Uthi: “Ngiyawuthanda ushizi. - Ngiyayithanda imikhiqizo yobisi, angikwazi ukucabanga impilo yami ngaphandle kwemikhiqizo yobisi. Ngikhululekile ukuba umuntu ongadli imifino.”
Esinye isizathu sokuhamba nge-vegan ukuthi kuhle empilweni yakho. Ucwaningo lubonisa ukuthi ukudla okuvamile kwaseMelika (ngikubhekile, ubhekeni we-bacon cheeseburger!) kugcwele i-cholesterol namafutha, ngamanani aphezulu kakhulu ukuthi angazuzisa. Njengoba kwenzeka, ekusetshenzisweni kobisi kathathu ngosuku, konke okuthathu kungase kube okungadingekile. "I-Veganism iyinzuzo enkulu yezempilo," kusho uBurgert.
“Unamandla amaningi, uzizwa ungcono, awuguli,” kunezela uConstantinides. “Sekuphele unyaka nesigamu ngingadli inyama, futhi iyangimangaza indlela engizizwa ngijabule ngayo emzimbeni. Nginamandla engeziwe manje.”
UScott uthi: “I-vegan yayinzima kakhulu emzimbeni wami ekuqaleni… kodwa ngemva kwesonto ngazizwa ngimangalisa! Nginamandla engeziwe, yilokhu kanye okudingwa umfundi. Nami engqondweni, ngazizwa ngimkhulu, njengokungathi ingqondo yami isikhululekile.”
Yize ama-vegan ezizwa kahle, kunabantu abangabaphathi kahle. “Ngicabanga ukuthi umuzwa ovamile ngezilwane ezifuywayo wukuthi singabalondolozi bemvelo abazidlayo abangakwazi ngisho nokucabanga ukuhlala etafuleni elilodwa nomuntu odla inyama,” kusho uScott.
UBurgert uyavuma: “Bangibiza ngokuthi ngamahippie; Ngahlekwa ehostela, kodwa kimi kubonakala sengathi abantu abangadli imikhiqizo yobisi abahlukile kubantu abangayidli i-gluten (iphrotheni yemifino). Ngeke uhlekise ngomuntu onesifo se-celiac esingezwani ne-gluten, pho kungani uhlekisa ngomuntu ongaluphuzi ubisi?”
UMorrison ucabanga ukuthi amanye ama-vegans aya kude kakhulu. “Ngicabanga ukuthi bamane nje bayizixhwanguxhwangu. Kwesinye isikhathi baya kude kakhulu, kodwa uma benentshisekelo enjalo…” I-Constantinides inezinto ezithakazelisa kakhulu azithatha kwezinye izilwane ezidla inyama: “Ngicabanga ukuthi ezinye zemibono engemihle mayelana nezilwane ezifuywayo zifanelekile. Ama-vegan amaningi ayagomela, athi okudlayo kubi futhi kukwenza uzizwe kabi. Noma yiliphi iqembu eliqinile lidala izingxabano eziningi.”
Uma sikhuluma ngengxabano, kunenkulumompikiswano phakathi kwezilwane ezidliwayo mayelana nokudla endaweni yokudlela yasenyuvesi. U-Constantinides no-Scott banokungena ekhishini, okwenza ukudla kwabo kwe-vegan kube lula, kodwa u-Burgert akanankinga nokungaziphekele yena. “Amakamelo okudlela lapha mahle. Lokhu kwaba yisici esibalulekile ekungeneni eChristopher Newport University. Ibha yesaladi iyamangalisa futhi kukhona njalo izinketho ezimbalwa ze-vegan. I-Vegan Burger noshizi? Ngimele yona!” kusho uBurgert.
Ngemva kokunikezwa ithuba lokupheka yedwa, uKonstantinides uthi: “Ukudla kwegumbi lokudlela kuncane kakhulu. Kuyadabukisa uma udla inqwaba yemifino bese uthola ibhotela elincibilikile ngaphansi kwepuleti.” Yiqiniso, uyavuma, “Bahlale benokudla (okungenani) okukodwa kwe-vegan.”
UScott uthi: “Angikaze ngihlangane nesidlo se-vegan lapha engangingasithandi nhlobo. “Kodwa ngezinye izikhathi angifuni ukudla isaladi ekuseni.”
I-Veganism ingase ibonakale njengesiko elihlukile, kodwa i-veganism empeleni iwukukhetha okungenangozi (ngokwezwi nezwi). “Ngingumuntu ojwayelekile ongazidli izilwane nemikhiqizo yezilwane. Yilokho kuphela. Uma ufuna ukudla inyama kulungile. Angizile ukuzofakazela lutho kuwena,” kusho uScott.
