Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi yiziphi izinzuzo zokudla okusekelwe ezitshalweni, i-vegetarianism iseyingcosana. Kulokhu, ukufuna umlingani womphefumulo owabelana ngokudla kwe-vegan kuvame ukugcwala ubunzima.
Umshicileli u-Alex Burke uyi-vegan eqinile. Akadli noma yimiphi imikhiqizo yezilwane. Amantombazane akhe amabili okugcina nawo anamathela kuVeanism. Okwamanje ukhululekile. U-Alex ufuna uthando lwakhe ngokwemvelo ngokudla kwemifino.
“Ngajola nokudla kwesintu namantombazane adla imifino. Into ukuthi, kuba lula kakhulu uma ngikwazi ukudla ukudla kwakhe futhi naye edla okwami,” kusho uBurke. Kodwa-ke, ukudla okulula akusona ukuphela kwesizathu sokuthi uBurke afune ukuthola umlingani womphefumulo ngokudla okufanayo. Isizathu futhi siwukuziphatha. Ngokubona kwakhe, ukudla inyama kuwukuziphatha okubi.
“Angikwazi ukubekezelela ukudla inyama njengabantu abashaya izingane zabo. Angifuni ukuba yingxenye yonya lwezilwane,” kusho uBurke.
Kodwa-ke, ukuthola intombi ye-vegan (umngane) kufana nokufuna inaliti ku-haystack. I-British Vegetarian Society ilinganisela ukuthi kunama-vegans angu-150 e-UK esibalweni sabantu esiyizigidi ezingu-000. Lokho cishe ku-65 kubantu abangu-1.
NjengoBourquet, uRob Masters, waseLondon, akayicabangi impilo yakhe nendoda yemikhuba yokudla inyama. Eminyakeni yakhe engu-16 ye-veganism, uthi, le ndlela yokudla isiyingxenye yobuntu bakhe. Kukhona cishe ama-vegan angama-20 eLondon. “Lokhu kungase kuzwakale kuhlaba umxhwele, kodwa empeleni u-000% wabantu. Mancane amathuba okuthi uhlangane ngenhlanhla. Mayelana nalokhu, uhlela imihlangano yabadla imifino eLondon.
Ngokusho kwabakwaMasters, abesifazane abangama-vegan kungenzeka babekezelele ukuthanda ukudla okuyi-omnivore.
"Lapho mina nabangane bami be-vegan sihlangene, ngezinye izikhathi sizivumela ukuba sikhononde ngabesifazane abakhetha abalingani abangadli imifino," kusho uMasters.
Thatha u-Arden Levine waseNew York njengesibonelo. Ngemva kokuhlangana nomyeni wakhe, ubengumuntu ongadli imifino isikhathi eside futhi usanda kuba yi-vegan. “Ngosuku lwethu lwesibili, wangitshela ukuthi uthenge izincwadi ezimbili zokupheka ezidla imifino. Yangithinta kakhulu indlela avuleleka ngayo kukho konke okusha,” kusho uLevin, “angimkhawuleli umyeni wami kulokho akudlayo.”
Yiqiniso, kukhona namadoda akulungele ukuguquguquka futhi abekezelele ukondleka komlingani wabo womphefumulo. UGary McIndoy waba imifino eneminyaka engu-12. Wakhulela enyakatho yeScotland, lapho ithuba lokuhlangana nentombazane yemifino liseduze ne-zero. Okwamanje, intombi yakhe idla imifino, futhi uyamamukela ngalokhu kudla. “Kuba nemizwa lapho abantu besekana futhi bamukelana yize behlukene. Futhi kuyasebenza,” usho kanje.
UMasters uthi: “Ngokuqinisekile ngingakhetha umuntu odla imifino njengomlingani wokuphila kwakho konke, kodwa ngeke wazi ukuthi inhliziyo yakho izokhetha bani.”
