Ama-Vegans ake abhekwa njengama-hippie angadli lutho ngaphandle kwesaladi. Kodwa manje izikhathi zishintshile. Kungani lezi zinguquko zenzeka? Mhlawumbe ngenxa yokuthi abantu abaningi sebevuleleke kakhulu ekushintsheni.
Ukunyuka kwe-flexitarianism
Namuhla, abantu abaningi ngokwengeziwe bazichaza njengabavumelana nezimo. I-Flexitarianism isho ukunciphisa, kodwa hhayi ukuqeda ngokuphelele, ukusetshenziswa kwemikhiqizo yezilwane. Abantu abaningi ngokwengeziwe bakhetha ukudla okusekelwe ezitshalweni phakathi nesonto futhi badla izitsha zenyama ngezimpelasonto kuphela.
E-Australia naseNew Zealand, i-flexitarianism ithola ukuduma ngokwengxenye ngenxa yokuvela kwenani elikhulu lezindawo zokudlela ze-vegan. E-UK, ngokocwaningo lwakamuva olwenziwa yisuphamakethe i-Sainbury's, ama-91% ama-Britons akhomba njengama-Flexitarian.
“Sibona ukukhula kwesidingo semikhiqizo esekwe ezitshalweni,” kusho uRosie Bambagi wakwaSainsbury. "Ngokwenyuka okungavimbeki kokuvumelana nezimo, sibheka ezinye izindlela zokwenza ukuthi izinketho ezithandwayo ezingezona inyama zifinyeleleke kalula."
I-Veganism yezilwane
Abaningi badela inyama ngenxa yezizathu zokuziphatha. Lokhu kubangelwa kakhulu amadokhumentari afana ne-Earthlings ne-Dominion. Abantu banokuqonda okukhulayo kokuthi izigidi zezigidi zezilwane emhlabeni wonke zixhashazwa kanjani ukuze kuzuze abantu. Lawa mafilimu akhombisa ukuhlupheka izilwane ezibhekana nakho embonini yenyama, yobisi, namaqanda, kanye nokucwaninga, imfashini, nokuzijabulisa.
Baningi osaziwayo ababambe iqhaza ekuqwashiseni abantu. Umlingisi uJoaquin Phoenix ufunde ama-voice-over e-Dominion and Earthlings, futhi umculi uMiley Cyrus ube yizwi eliqhubekayo ngokumelene nonya lwezilwane. Umkhankaso wakamuva we-Mercy for Animals uveze osaziwayo abaningi okubalwa kubo uJames Cromwell, uDanielle Monet no-Emily Deschanel.
Ngo-2018, kwatholakala ukuthi isizathu sokuqala sokuthi abantu balahle inyama, ubisi namaqanda sihlobene nezinkinga zenhlalakahle yezilwane. Futhi imiphumela yolunye ucwaningo olwenziwa ekwindla yabonisa ukuthi cishe ingxenye yabantu abadla inyama ingancamela ukudla imifino kunokubulala isilwane ngokwabo esidlweni sakusihlwa.
Ukuqamba okusha ku-Vegan Food
Esinye sezizathu ezenza abantu abaningi banciphise imikhiqizo yezilwane ingoba kunezinye izindlela ezikhangayo ezisekelwe ezitshalweni.
Ama-vegan burgers anenyama eyenziwe ngesoya, uphizi kanye ne-mycoprotein aseqala ukuthengiswa emaketangeni okudla okusheshayo emhlabeni jikelele. Kukhona okunikezwayo kwe-vegan okwengeziwe ezitolo - amasoseji e-vegan, amaqanda, ubisi, ukudla kwasolwandle, njll.
Esinye isizathu esibalulekile sokukhula kwemakethe yokudla ye-vegan ukwanda kokuqwashisa kwabathengi ngemiphumela yezempilo yokudla imikhiqizo yezilwane, kanye nezingozi zokufuywa kwezilwane eziningi.
I-Veganism yezempilo
Bayanda abantu abadla ukudla okunezitshalo ukuze balondoloze impilo yabo. Cishe abantu baseMelika abayizigidi eziyi-114 bazibophezele ekudleni ukudla okuningi kwe-vegan, ngokusho kocwaningo ekuqaleni kwalo nyaka.
Ucwaningo lwakamuva luhlobanise ukusetshenziswa kwemikhiqizo yezilwane nezifo ezibucayi ezifana nesifo sikashukela, isifo senhliziyo kanye nomdlavuza. Ukudla izingcezu ezintathu zikabhekeni ngeviki kungandisa ingozi yomdlavuza wamathumbu ngama-20%. Imikhiqizo yobisi nayo iye yaqashelwa ochwepheshe abaningi bezokwelapha njengama-carcinogens.
Ngakolunye uhlangothi, ucwaningo lubonisa ukuthi ukudla kwezitshalo kuvikela umdlavuza nezinye izifo ezimbi kakhulu.
I-Veganism yeplanethi
Abantu baqala ukudla ukudla kwezitshalo okwengeziwe ukuze banciphise umthelela wabo emvelweni. Abathengi bakhuthazwa ukuba bayeke imikhiqizo yezilwane hhayi ngenxa yempilo yabo kuphela, kodwa futhi nempilo yeplanethi.
Abantu baya ngokuya beqaphela umthelela wokufuywa kwemvelo. Ngo-2018, umbiko omkhulu we-UN wabonisa ukuthi sineminyaka engu-12 ukuvimbela ukushintsha kwesimo sezulu okungenakulungiseka. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, i-Global Environment Organization (UNEP) Programme yabona inkinga yokukhiqizwa nokudliwa kwenyama “njengenkinga ecindezela kakhulu emhlabeni.” "Ukusetshenziswa kwezilwane njengobuchwepheshe bokudla kusifake onqenqemeni lwenhlekelele," kusho isitatimende se-UNEP. “I-greenhouse footprint evela ekufuyweni kwezilwane ayiqhathaniseka nesisi esiphuma ezintweni zokuthutha. Ayikho indlela yokugwema le nkinga ngaphandle kokuncipha okukhulu kokukhiqizwa kwemfuyo.”
Ehlobo eledlule, ukuhlaziya okukhulu kakhulu emhlabeni kokukhiqizwa kokudla kwathola ukuthi ukulandela ukudla kwe-vegan "kuyindlela ebaluleke kakhulu" noma ubani angayisebenzisa ukunciphisa umthelela wabo emhlabeni.
Usosayensi wase-Oxford University uJoseph Poore ukholelwa ukuthi ukunciphisa imikhiqizo yezilwane “kuzokwenza okungaphezu kokunciphisa uhambo lwakho lwendiza noma ukuthenga imoto kagesi. Ezolimo ziwumsuka wezinkinga eziningi zemvelo.” Ugcizelele ukuthi imboni ayigcini ngokukhipha isisi esingcolisa umoya, kodwa isebenzisa umhlabathi omningi, amanzi futhi inomthelela ekwenzeni i-asidi emhlabeni wonke kanye ne-eutrophication.
Akuyona nje imikhiqizo yezilwane elimaza iplanethi. Ngokusho kwe-PETA, indawo yokushukwa zisebenzisa amalitha acishe abe ngu-15 amanzi futhi ingakhiqiza ngaphezu kuka-900 kg wemfucuza eqinile kuwo wonke amathani okufihla kwawo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, amapulazi oboya akhiphela inqwaba ye-ammonia emoyeni, futhi ukufuywa kwezimvu kudla amanzi amaningi futhi kunomthelela ekucekeleni phansi komhlaba.
