Pehea e hana ai nā vegan?
ʻOiai ma hope o koʻu lilo ʻana i mea ʻai meaʻai, ua nīnau pinepine au iaʻu iho i kēia nīnau. Ua ʻike wau makemake wau e haʻalele i nā huahana holoholona, akā ʻaʻole wau i ʻike pehea e hiki ai. Ua hoʻāʻo au i ka meaʻai vegan no hoʻokahi mahina, akā ʻo ka hopena, ua ʻike wau ʻaʻole wau i mākaukau.
ʻO ka hoʻoholo no ka haʻi ʻana aku "He vegan wau" i ʻike ʻia i kahi manawa lōʻihi. I ka hopena, ua lawe au i ʻelua makahiki holoʻokoʻa e haʻalele loa i nā hua, ka waiū, ka pata, a me ka paʻakai. Akā, i ka hiki ʻana mai o ka manawa, ʻaʻohe nīnau hou.
I kēia manawa, ʻelua a me ka hapa makahiki ma hope mai, i ka wā i ʻike ʻia ai kēia - ʻoi aku ka lōʻihi - ka nohona, hiki iaʻu ke ʻōlelo e makemake wau e hoʻi i ka manawa a hāʻawi i kaʻu "pre-vegan" iaʻu iho (a i ʻole kekahi ma koʻu wahi) i kekahi ʻōlelo aʻo.
No laila, i ka wā i hoʻokumu ʻia ai nā mīkini manawa lōʻihi a me nā ʻeke rocket, e lawe wau i kahi manawa a lele e kamaʻilio me kēlā kanaka. Eia pehea wau e kōkua ai iā ia e hoʻomākaukau:
1. ʻAʻole e pau nā ʻakaʻaka.
E maʻa iā lākou a hoʻomaopopo ʻaʻole lākou i hoʻowahāwahā mau. ʻO ka ʻōlelo punahele a koʻu makuakāne ke hoʻāʻo nei ʻo ia i ka meaʻai vegan "makemake wau i nā ʻiʻo ma ʻaneʻi!" ʻOiaʻiʻo, he hoʻohenehene kēia, a ʻo kāna ʻōlelo pinepine ʻana ua lilo ia i mea hoʻohenehene iā ia iho.
Akā ʻo kēlā me kēia hui ʻohana a i ʻole hui ʻana o nā hoaaloha, lilo ia i mea hoʻohenehene mai ka mea i manaʻo ʻo ia ka mea mua. “Makemake anei ʻoe iaʻu e kālua i kahi steak? ʻAe, pololei… ha ha ha!” Ua hāʻawi mai koʻu ʻanakala iaʻu i kahi pā me hoʻokahi lau letus a ʻōlelo leo nui: "E Matt, e nānā! ʻAina ahiahi!” Ua ʻakaʻaka maoli au i kēia ʻakaʻaka.
E maʻa i nā ʻakaʻaka, ʻakaʻaka iā lākou, a i ʻole e hoʻāʻo e wehewehe i ke koʻikoʻi o kāu koho iā ʻoe. Hoʻoholo ʻoe.
2. ʻAʻole paʻakikī ka hāʻawi ʻana i ka paʻakai.
ʻAʻole wau e ʻōlelo he maʻalahi ka haʻalele ʻana i ka cheese. ʻO ke ola me ka paʻakai ʻole e hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻia, ʻoiai inā ua maʻa ʻoe i ka paʻakai ma ke ʻano he ʻāpana nui o nā kīʻaha meaʻai liʻiliʻi i lawelawe ʻia ma nā hale ʻaina "maʻamau".
Ua manaʻo wau e nele au i ka tiiki ma ke ʻano he mea ʻai no ka waina a i ʻole ka pia. Akā ua ʻike koke wau inā e hoʻololi au i ka cheese me nā nati a i ʻole nā pahū, ua maikaʻi ia, mahalo i ko lākou paʻakai, a ma hope o lākou ua ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi ma mua o ka paʻakai.
Ua manaʻo wau e poina wau i ka tiiki ma kaʻu pizza. Ua ʻike koke wau ʻaʻole i like ka ʻono o ka pizza me ka ʻole o ka paʻakai e like me ka pizza maoli, akā ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi ma mua o ka mea ʻole, ma hope o kekahi manawa ua maʻa wau (a ua hoʻomaka wau e aloha) i ka cheese artificial Daiya. I kēia manawa ʻo ka pizza vegan naʻu he pizza wale nō, ʻaʻohe oʻu nalo.
E like me ka mea i ʻike ʻia, e hoʻopau i ka ʻāpana hope o ka cheese - aʻu i paʻa ai no kekahi mau mahina - pono ʻoe e hoʻoholo.
3. ʻAʻole ʻoi aku ke kumu kūʻai o ka vegan, akā e uku.
Ke hana ʻoe i ka makemakika, ʻaʻohe kumu e ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka lilo ʻana i mea ʻai meaʻai a vegan paha ma mua o ka ʻai ʻana i ka ʻiʻo.
Ma ka $3, $5, $8 no ka paona, ʻo ka ʻiʻo kekahi o nā mea pipiʻi loa āu e kūʻai ai ma ka hale kūʻai. Inā hoʻololi ʻoe iā ia, no ka laʻana, me nā piʻi kālā-no-paona, e mālama ʻoe i ka nui.
Eia nō naʻe, i kēia manawa ma ka hale kūʻai ke hoʻohana nei au i hoʻokahi a me ka hapa i ʻelua mau manawa ma mua. No ke aha mai? No ka mea i koʻu hele ʻana i ka vegan, aia wau ma ke ala i kahi meaʻai olakino maikaʻi loa. Hele au i nā mākeke mahiʻai, hale kūʻai co-op a me Whole Foods ʻoi aku ka nui ma mua o koʻu wā ʻaʻole vegan, uku au i nā huahana organik. ʻO ka lilo ʻana i mea ʻai meaʻai, ua aʻo hou au e pili ana i ka meaʻai, no laila ke hopohopo nei au i ka hoʻokae ʻole a me ka kānalua i nā mea a pau aʻu e kūʻai ai.
Ua maopopo iaʻu ua lohe ʻoe i ka ʻōlelo, "E uku i kēia manawa a i ʻole uku ma hope." ʻO ke kālā a mākou e hoʻolilo ai no ka ʻai ʻana i ke olakino he mea hoʻopukapuka i ke olakino e hiki mai ana e uku i ka manawa.
4. ʻO ka hapa nui o kāu ʻai ʻana he ʻai hoʻokahi.
E manaʻoʻiʻo a ʻaʻole paha, ʻo ia ka mea paʻakikī loa iaʻu - ua pau koʻu hoihoi i ka kuke ʻana i koʻu haʻalele ʻana i ka ʻiʻo a me ka waiu. (ʻIke wau aia wau i ka hapa liʻiliʻi: ʻōlelo ka hapa nui o nā chef vegan ʻaʻole lākou i ʻike i ko lākou makemake i ka kuke ʻana a hiki i ko lākou hele ʻana i ka vegan.)
Eia ke kumu i hiki mai ai:
ʻO ka mea mua, ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o ka manawa vegan e hoʻomākaukau ai. ʻO ka lua, me ka ʻole o ka ʻiʻo a i ʻole ka paʻakai ma ke ʻano he kumu o ka protein a ʻaʻohe kalapona e like me ka momona, ʻaʻohe pono e hoʻomākaukau i kahi kīʻaha kiʻekiʻe-carb e mālama i ke kaulike.
No laila, ma kahi o ka kuke ʻana i ʻelua a ʻekolu mau meaʻai like ʻole no ka ʻaina ahiahi, ua hoʻololi au i hoʻokahi pāʻina: pasta, stir-fries, salads, smoothies, cereals, herbs, legumes, a me nā mea a pau.
He mea maʻalahi a maʻalahi hoʻi, ʻoiai ʻaʻohe o ka maʻalahi, kūpono loa me nā loli ʻē aʻe o koʻu ola i lawe ʻia e nā loli meaʻai.
5. E pili ana kāu mau koho i nā kānaka he nui ma mua o kou ʻike.
ʻAʻole au i manaʻo e hoʻololi nā hoaaloha a me nā ʻohana i kā lākou mau maʻamau ma muli o kaʻu hoʻoholo. ʻAʻole au i makemake e hoʻololi i kekahi. Akā—ma waho aʻe o kēia moʻomanaʻo—ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o ka hapalua kakini o koʻu mau hoaaloha i haʻi mai iaʻu me ka ʻoliʻoli o ka ʻai ʻana i ka ʻiʻo. Ua lilo kekahi poʻe pescatarians, vegetarians, a me nā vegans.
Hoʻomaopopo ka poʻe i nā mea a pau, ʻoiai inā ʻaʻole i hōʻike ʻia kou mana.
No laila…
6. E mākaukau e noʻonoʻo i ke kuleana a hoʻoikaika iā ʻoe iho i kahi kūlana kiʻekiʻe ma mua o ka wā ma mua.
Aia kekahi stereotype he wīwī a nāwaliwali nā vegan. A ua kūpono ia, no ka mea he nui nā vegans ʻo ia wale nō.
I ka ulu ʻana o nā ʻano haʻuki ma ka mea kanu, ke loli nei ke kūlana. Akā, e hoʻomanaʻo ʻoiai inā ʻike ʻoe no ia mea no kou komo ʻana i kēia mau mea āpau, ʻaʻohe manaʻo o ka hapa nui o ka poʻe. No lākou, he wīwī a nāwaliwali nā vegan, ma ka wehewehe.
ʻOiaʻiʻo, aia iā ʻoe ke hoʻoholo inā e kākoʻo ʻoe i kēia stereotype a i ʻole e hoʻolilo iā ʻoe iho i mea hoʻohālikelike kūpono. Ua koho au i ka lua.
ʻO ka hoʻomanaʻo ʻana he vegan au (e like me nā vegan, ʻike ʻole a ʻaʻole paha) e paipai iaʻu e noho i ke kino, lanakila i nā makana ultramarathon, a e hana i kaʻu mea maikaʻi loa e hoʻokomo i kahi ʻiʻo, ʻoiai ʻo ka holo a me kaʻu kūkulu ʻana e paʻakikī.
ʻOiaʻiʻo, ʻoi aku ka pono e alakaʻi ma ka laʻana ma mua o ka hoʻoikaika kino - no ka laʻana, hoʻāʻo wau e mamao loa mai ke kiʻi o ka stereotypical vegan "haʻi'ōlelo" i hiki. ʻIke ka nui o nā vegans i ko lākou kumu i ka haʻi ʻana, he mea nui ia, akā ʻaʻole ia noʻu.
7. No ka nui o kou ho'āʻo e haʻalele iā ia, he mea nui ia.
ʻAʻole au i ʻike i nā vegans ʻoi aku ka hoʻomaha ma mua o aʻu a me kaʻu wahine. ʻAʻole mākou e koi aku i ka poʻe e hele i ka vegan, kākoʻo mākou i ka poʻe ke ʻōlelo lākou ua ʻai lākou i ka meaʻai olakino ʻoiai inā he paleo kā lākou ʻai ma mua o ka vegan, a ʻaʻole mākou makemake e kūkākūkā i nā mea e pono ai nā poʻe ʻē aʻe e hana.
A me kēia ʻano a me ka makemake e pale aku i kekahi mea i manaʻo ʻia he mea hoʻopiʻi, hoʻomaka mākou e ʻai me ka ʻohana a me nā hoaaloha i ka hapalua, inā ʻaʻole i emi pinepine.
He mea nui kāu veganism inā makemake ʻoe a ʻaʻole paha. Manaʻo kekahi e hoʻohewa ana ʻoe iā lākou a ʻaʻole ʻoe e ʻaʻa e kuke i ka meaʻai na ʻoe, no ka mea hiki iā lākou ke hoʻoholo ʻaʻole makemake ʻoe. ʻAʻole makemake nā poʻe ʻē aʻe e hoʻopaʻa, a hiki ke hoʻomaopopo ʻia. A ʻoiai ʻaʻohe kumu e kono pinepine ʻole ai i kēia poʻe e like me kaʻu ma mua, ua maopopo iaʻu he hiki i ka ʻaina vegan ke hoʻopau i ka poʻe ʻaʻole ʻoluʻolu loa, a no laila ʻaʻole wau e kono pinepine i nā malihini e like me kaʻu ma mua ( e hoʻomaopopo iā ʻoe iho: e hana i kēia).
8. E hauʻoli ʻoe i ka ʻike ʻana i ka mea e kākoʻo iā ʻoe.
ʻO ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe o ka ʻai pinepine ʻana me nā hoaaloha a me nā ʻohana, ʻo ia ka mea e ʻike nui ʻia ka mea e manaʻo nei he maikaʻi kāu koho, nāna e hōʻoia i nā pāʻina a lākou e mālama ai he mau kīʻaha no ʻoe, a ʻo wai ka mea makemake e ʻono i kāu meaʻai a aʻo hou aʻe. e pili ana i kāu ʻai.
He mea nui kēia iaʻu. He ʻano hou a nani kēia āu e ʻike ai i nā poʻe āu i ʻike mua ai a aloha maikaʻi ai, a ʻo kēia ʻano e hoʻomaopopo iā ʻoe i ka ʻae ʻia, mahalo ʻia a aloha ʻia.
9. Mehameha paha ʻoe i kekahi manawa, akā ʻaʻole ʻoe hoʻokahi.
ʻAʻole loa wau i makemake e "hoʻopunipuni" no ka leʻaleʻa. ʻO ka pinepine ma mua o ka ʻole, ʻo kēia makemake i loaʻa mai i ka ʻoluʻolu a i ʻole makemake ʻole e hana i kahi hiʻohiʻona, ʻo ka hoʻoluhi liʻiliʻi i kēlā mau kūlana kahi mea aʻu i hoʻoholo ai e hoʻopau loa.
Akā i nā makahiki ʻelua i hala iho nei, ua manaʻo wau me he mea lā ʻo wau wale nō ma ke ala o ia meaʻai, a ʻoi aku ka paʻakikī o kēia mau manawa ma mua o ka makemake i ka leʻaleʻa gastronomic a i ʻole ka ʻoluʻolu.
Ua hala au i kēia ho'āʻo ma ka hoʻomanaʻo ʻana ʻaʻole wau wale nō. Mahalo i nā ʻenehana hou, hiki iā ʻoe ke komo i kahi kaiāulu kākoʻo nui e hōʻoluʻolu iā ʻoe e pili ana i kāu koho, ʻoiai ʻo ia. Pono ʻoe e ʻimi i nā kānaka kūpono, a i kekahi manawa ʻaʻole pono ʻoe. (Ua ʻike ʻoe i ka pāʻina pāʻina vegan, pololei?)
I ka wā lōʻihi, ʻo ia ka pilina me nā poʻe like like, ma ke kino a i ʻole ma ka pūnaewele, e hoʻonui ai i nā manawa kānalua.
10. ʻAʻole pono ʻoe e lilo i mea ʻē aʻe ma ka hele ʻana i ka vegan, akā hiki nō ia.
A i kēia manawa ka ʻāpana leʻaleʻa. Ua hoʻololi nui ʻo Veganism iaʻu, ua hoʻoikaika iaʻu e ʻimi i koʻu ʻano ʻokoʻa a hoʻokuke iaʻu i nā palena a laila ma waho o nā palena o ke kahawai nui, mai ka lele ʻana i ka microwave i ka hoʻohui ʻana i ka broccoli i ka smoothies a me ka loaʻa ʻana o nā mea liʻiliʻi loa.
ʻAʻohe kumu e hele ai i ka vegan ma mua o kou lilo ʻana i mea ʻē. A ʻaʻohe kumu no ke koho ʻana i ka vegan e like me ke koho ʻana i ka hele ʻokoʻa (ma waho o ka meaʻai, ʻoiaʻiʻo). Akā, pēlā i hana ai iaʻu.
A makemake au.
ʻAe? ʻAʻole?
Ua aʻo au - ma ka blogging e pili ana i kaʻu huakaʻi - ma nā ʻano he nui ʻaʻole wau he vegan maʻamau. No laila, ua mākaukau wau no ka nui o nā kūkākūkā a me nā paio e pili ana i kēia ʻatikala, a ua mākaukau wau e hoʻolohe iā lākou. E haʻi mai iā mākou i kou manaʻo!
