Ukunciphisa kuyindlela yokuphila egxile ekudleni inyama encane, izinkukhu, izilwane zasolwandle, ubisi, namaqanda, kungakhathaliseki izinga noma isisusa. Umqondo ubhekwa ukhangayo ngoba akuwona wonke umuntu olungele ukulandela ukudla konke-noma-lutho. Kodwa-ke, ukunciphisa kuhlanganisa imifino, abadla imifino, nanoma ubani owehlisa inani lemikhiqizo yezilwane ekudleni kwabo.
Ngokungafani nokuphuza utshwala, ukuvivinya umzimba, nokupheka ekhaya, ukudla imifino kubhekwa umphakathi njengezinhlangothi ezimnyama nezimhlophe. Ungumuntu ongadli imifino noma awuyena. Ungayidli inyama unyaka wonke - ungumuntu odla imifino. Ungaphuzi ubisi izinyanga ezimbalwa - i-vegan. Udle ucezu lukashizi - wehlulekile.
Ngokusho kuka-, kwakukhona ama-vegan amaningi ngo-2016 kuneminyaka eyi-10 edlule. Bangaphezu kwezigidi eziyi-1,2 abantu base-UK abangadli imifino. Inhlolovo ye-YouGov ithole ukuthi u-25% wabantu base-UK banciphise ukudla kwabo inyama. Naphezu kwalokhu, abaningi basabambelele embonweni wokuthi ukudla inyama encane kusho ukungadli lutho.
Incazelo esemthethweni ye-Vegan Society ithi: "I-Veganism iyindlela yokuphila ehlose ukuqeda zonke izinhlobo zokuxhashazwa nonya ezilwaneni ukuze zidle, izingubo zokugqoka, nanoma iyiphi enye injongo, ngangokunokwenzeka." Kodwa-ke, kithina kubonakala sengathi abantu bakuqonda ngendlela ehlukile: “I-Veganism iyindlela yokuphila engabandakanyi noma ubani othanda ukufaka ubisi etiyeni, futhi elahla ngonya zonke izici zokuphila kuze kube yilapho umuntu eyeka futhi eqala ukugqoka insangu.
“Kodwa lokho akulona iqiniso,” kusho uBrian Kathman. Senza ukukhetha ngokudla nsuku zonke. Umngane wami wake wanginika incwadi ethi The Ethics of What We Eat (Peter Singer noJim Mason) ngesikhathi ngidla i-hamburger. Ngayifunda futhi angizange ngikholwe ukuthi amapulazi nezimboni zenyama yizona ezibangela ukuguquka kwesimo sezulu kanye nokulahlekelwa kwezinhlobonhlobo zezinto eziphilayo, kanye nokwanda komdlavuza, ukukhuluphala nesifo senhliziyo. Uma abantu benciphisa ukudla kwabo inyama ngisho nango-10%, lokho kungaba ukunqoba okukhulu kakade.”
UCutman wakhula edla izinyamazane namaphiko enyathi, kodwa ngolunye usuku wanquma ukuba umuntu ongadli imifino. Lapho udadewabo esikisela ukudla ucezu oluncane lwe-Thanksgiving turkey, wachaza isinqumo sakhe ngokuthi ufuna “ukuphelela.”
Uthi: “Ngithanda kakhulu imiphumela kunezinqubo. “Lapho abantu bedla inyama encane, akulona uhlobo oluthile lwebheji, hhayi isikhundla emphakathini, kodwa kunomthelela omkhulu emhlabeni.”
Ifilosofi kaKathman ngokuqinisekile ibonakala ikhanga. Kodwa ingabe kungenzeka ngempela ukuzibheka njengomuntu, isimiso futhi usenayo ucezu lwenyama kaphaya?
“Isisekelo esiyinhloko sabanciphisi siwukuthi abadla inyama kanye nabadla imifino abaye banciphisa ngempumelelo ukusetshenziswa kwezilwane bayingxenye yobuningi obufanayo nabantu abangajabule ngokulima emafemini,” kusho uKathman. "Imayelana nokumodareyitha kwama-omnivores."
Ngaphezu kokushicilela le ncwadi, i-Reducer Foundation ihlele eyayo ingqungquthela eNew York. Inhlangano inamavidiyo amaningi, izindlela zokupheka kanye nesikhala lapho abalandeli benhlangano entsha bengathumela khona okushicilelwe kwabo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, le nhlangano inelabhorethri yayo, eyenza ucwaningo ngendlela engcono yokunciphisa ukusetshenziswa kwenyama.
Ukunyuka kwama-"neo-hippies" sekuphenduke imfashini, hhayi nje izinhloso ezinhle. Kodwa-ke, iphesenti labantu "abanomsindo" lincane kakhulu. Iningi lama-vegans kanye nabadla imifino bangabantu ababekezelayo nabalinganiselayo abaqondayo ukuthi kufanele sibe ne-pragmatic ngalokhu. Okungenani ngandlela-thile shintsha okuthile ekudleni - lena indlela.
Ngokusho kwabanciphisi, ukungadli inyama kuyimpumelelo. Kodwa ukuyidla ngezikhathi ezithile akukona ukwehluleka. Awukwazi "ukwehluleka" noma "ukuphinda" uma ufuna ukuzenzela okuthile. Futhi awuyena umzenzisi uma wenza konke okusemandleni ukuyeka okuthile ngokuphelele. Ngakho-ke ingabe ama-reducers vegans angenawo amandla? Noma bamane benza lokho abangakwenza?
