Lilo ka poʻe i mea ʻai meaʻai no nā kumu etika, kaiapuni a me ka waiwai, a me nā koho meaʻai olakino a me nā meaʻai meaʻai ʻono.
ʻIke ʻia ka ʻai maʻamau o ʻAmelika ʻĀkau no ka kiʻekiʻe o nā momona holoholona, nā momona trans, nā mea ʻawaʻawa, a me nā calorie ʻole mai nā meaʻai e like me ka palaoa keʻokeʻo a me ke kō. Hōʻike nā haʻawina ʻē aʻe i ka meaʻai meaʻai meaʻai he liʻiliʻi loa o kēia mau mea a ʻoi aku ka meaʻai. ʻO kekahi o nā kumu koʻikoʻi e lilo i meaʻai meaʻai ʻo ia ka meaʻai meaʻai e hāʻawi i nā koho meaʻai olakino.
Hōʻike nā noiʻi ʻo ke kumu kumu o nā pilikia olakino a me nā maʻi ʻo ka ʻai maikaʻi ʻole. ʻAʻole makemake nā mea kanu e hoʻopiha i ko lākou kino me nā mea ʻona a me nā hormones i hānai ʻia i nā holoholona. He pilikia koʻikoʻi kēia no ka poʻe makemake e noho hauʻoli mau loa, me ka maʻi ʻole. ʻO ia ke kumu e hoʻomaka pinepine ai ka meaʻai meaʻai me ka meaʻai olakino.
He nui ka poʻe i ʻōlelo ua aʻo aku kā lākou mau kauka iā lākou e hoʻopau i nā momona a pau mai kā lākou ʻai a i ʻole e maʻi lākou a make. He kumu hoʻoikaika ikaika kēia no ka hoʻololi ʻana i ka meaʻai mea kanu.
ʻAʻole nā manaʻo olakino wale nō ke kumu e lilo ai nā kānaka i mea ʻai meaʻai.
1) Nā kumu kūpono. Nui ka poʻe i makemake e lilo i mea ʻai meaʻai a i ʻole vegans no ka mea weliweli lākou i nā kūlana inhumane kahi e hānai ʻia ai ka hapa nui o nā holoholona a hōʻole lākou e kākoʻo i ka ʻoihana ʻiʻo a me ka waiu. ʻAʻole lākou makemake e hōʻeha a make nā holoholona i hiki iā lākou ke ʻai, ʻoiai inā ʻaʻole pono ia no ke olakino maikaʻi. ʻO ka ʻoihana ʻiʻo nō hoʻi ke kuleana no nā kūlana hana pōʻino a pōʻino no kāna mau limahana.
2) Nā kumu kaiapuni. Makemake pū ka poʻe e lilo i mea ʻai meaʻai no ka mea kūʻē lākou i ka pōʻino o ke kaiapuni i hana ʻia e ka mahi holoholona. Hoʻohaumia nā mahiʻai i nā muliwai a me ka wai lepo me ka ʻōpala. ʻO ka methane i hana ʻia e nā bipi ka mea e wela ai ka honua. Ke nalowale nei ka ululāʻau i hiki i nā poʻe ke ʻai i ka hamburger.
3) Nā kumu waiwai. Hiki ke ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o ka meaʻai meaʻai ma mua o ka ʻai me ka ʻiʻo. Manaʻo ka poʻe he nui i kēia mau lā he pipiʻi ka ʻiʻo no kā lākou kālā. Hiki iā lākou ke mālama i ke kālā ma ka meaʻai a ʻai maikaʻi ma ke koho ʻana i nā koho meaʻai meaʻai ma ka liʻiliʻi i kekahi manawa.
4) ʻono. ʻO kēia kekahi kumu e lilo ai nā kānaka i mea ʻai meaʻai - ʻo ka meaʻai ʻono loa ka meaʻai. Pīhoihoi pinepine ʻia ka poʻe ʻaʻole mea kanu i ka nui o nā ʻano koho meaʻai ʻono a me ka maʻalahi o ka hana ʻana i nā meaʻai punahele punahele.
