ʻAi ʻo Levi Bowland i ka mea like i kēlā me kēia lā. No ka ʻaina kakahiaka ʻai ʻo ia i ka melon. No ka ʻaina awakea - he kīʻaha piha o ka coleslaw a me ʻekolu maiʻa. ʻO ka ʻaina ahiahi ka hua a me ka salakeke.
He 10 makahiki o Levi.
Mai kona hānau ʻana, ʻai ʻo ia i ka meaʻai maka a me ka vegan wale nō, ʻo ia hoʻi, ʻaʻole ʻo ia i hoʻāʻo i nā huahana holoholona a me nā meaʻai i wela a ʻoi aku ma mua o 118 degere.
Ma mua o kona hānau ʻana, ʻo kona mau mākua, ʻo Dave lāua ʻo Mary Bowland, "ua hoʻohui i nā meaʻai ʻōpala, nā mea ʻono, nā keke, nā meaʻai momona momona," wahi a Mr. Bowland, 47, he mea kūkākūkā pūnaewele mai Bobcagen, Ontario. "ʻAʻole mākou i makemake e ulu aʻe ʻo Levy me kēlā addiction."
Aia ʻo Bowllands i ka heluna nui o nā ʻohana e hānai i kā lākou mau keiki i ka meaʻai maka: nā huaʻai hou, nā mea kanu, nā ʻanoʻano, nā nati a me nā cereals ulu. ʻOiai ʻo kēia mau meaʻai he vegan maʻamau, aia kekahi i ka ʻiʻo a i ʻole ka iʻa, a me ka waiū maka a i ʻole i hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻia, yogurt, a me ka paʻakai.
Nui nā kauka e aʻo mai i kēia ʻano. ʻAʻole hiki i ka ʻōnaehana hoʻoheheʻe o ke keiki ke "loaʻa i nā meaʻai mai ka meaʻai maka e like me ka maikaʻi o ka ʻōnaehana hoʻoheheʻe o ke kanaka makua," wahi a Kauka Benjamin Kligler, he kauka ʻohana ma Manhattan Health Center.
I ka makahiki i hala iho nei, ua ʻike ʻo Kauka TJ Gold, he pediatrician consciously conscious ma Park Slope, Brooklyn, ma kahi o ʻelima ʻohana e hānai ana i kā lākou mau keiki, me nā pēpē, nā meaʻai maka. ʻO kekahi o nā keiki he maʻi maʻi maʻi, wahi āna, a hāʻawi nā mākua iā lākou i nā mea hoʻohui B12.
"Inā pono ʻoe e hāʻawi i kāu mau keiki i nā mea hoʻohui, manaʻo maoli ʻoe he meaʻai maikaʻi ia?" wahi a Kauka Gula.
He paʻakikī ke ana ʻana i ka nui o nā ʻohana i hele maka, akā aia ka nui o nā pūnaewele e like me ka Raw Food Family, nā meaʻai, nā puke, nā hui kākoʻo a me nā huahana pili. ʻO ka ʻelima makahiki ʻo Woodstock Fruit Festival ma uka o New York e manaʻo ʻia e huki ʻia 1000 meaʻai maka i kēia makahiki. Ma kahi o 20% o lākou he mau ʻohana me nā keiki liʻiliʻi, wahi a ka mea hoʻokumu ʻo Michael Arnstein ma thefruitarian.com.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Kauka Anupama Chawla, ke poʻo o ka gastroenterology pediatric a me ka meaʻai ma Stony Brook Children's Hospital, ʻoiai ʻo nā huaʻai a me nā mea kanu he kumu nui o nā huaora a me ka fiber, "ʻaʻole lākou i ka protein." ʻAʻole pono e ʻai maka ʻia nā pīni, nā lentila, ka moa, a me nā piʻi ʻulaʻula i loaʻa ka protein.
ʻO nā hua holoholona maka, unpasteurized hiki ke lilo i kumu o E. coli a me salmonella, hoʻohui ʻo Kauka Chawla. ʻO kēia kekahi o nā kumu e kūʻē ai ka American Academy of Pediatrics i ka ʻai ʻana i ka waiū unpasteurized e nā pēpē a me nā wahine hāpai.
Manaʻo kekahi poʻe ʻo ka paʻakikī o ia meaʻai hiki ke palena i ka pathology. I nā manawa he nui, hiki i ka meaʻai maka ke "hoʻohui i ka nānā ʻana i ka meaʻai o ka makua a me kahi maʻi maʻi i kāʻei ʻia i loko o kahi meaʻai maka," wahi a Kauka Margo Maine, he loea ʻai ma West Hartford, Conn. , mea kākau o The Body Myth. .
Manaʻo ka poʻe makemake i ka meaʻai maka e ulu ola a ikaika kā lākou keiki a ʻaʻole i manaʻo ʻino i ko lākou ola.
ʻO Julia Rodriguez, 31, makuahine o ʻelua mai East Lyme, Connecticut, e noʻonoʻo ana i ka pono o ka ʻai meaʻai maka e hoʻopau i ka eczema a me ka huehue, a me ka ʻoiaʻiʻo ʻo ia, me kāna kāne ʻo Daniel, nalowale kokoke i 70 kilos. I ka lua o kona hāpai ʻana, ua aneane ʻo ia he vegan maka. ʻO kāna mau pēpē, ʻo ia hoʻi nā meaʻai maka, ola maikaʻi loa, wahi āna. ʻAʻole maopopo ʻo ia i ke kumu o ka hoʻopaʻapaʻa: "Inā ʻai wau i ka meaʻai mai McDonald's i ka lā a pau, ʻaʻole ʻoe e ʻōlelo i kahi huaʻōlelo, akā ke huhū nei au i koʻu ʻai ʻana i nā huaʻai a me nā mea kanu?"
E like me nā poʻe ʻē aʻe e ʻai wale ana - a i ʻole "ola" - meaʻai, manaʻo ʻo Ms. Rodriguez e hoʻopau ka kuke ʻana i nā minerale, nā enzymes a me nā huaora.
Ua ʻae ʻo Andrea Giancoli, o ka Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, hiki i ka kuke ʻana ke hōʻemi i nā meaʻai. "ʻO nā enzymes nā proteins, a ua haki nā protein i ka wā i wela ai i kekahi ʻano." Akā ʻōlelo ʻo ia e nalowale ana ka hana o nā enzymes i ka wā e ʻike ʻia ai i ke kaiapuni waikawa o ka ʻōpū. A hōʻike kekahi mau haʻawina e piʻi ana nā pae o kekahi mau meaʻai, e like me ka lycopene, me ka wela.
Ke hoʻololi nei kekahi poʻe haʻi ʻai maka i ko lākou ʻano. ʻO Jinja Talifero, ka mea nāna e hoʻokele i ka hoʻonaʻauao meaʻai maka, a me kāna kāne ʻo Storm ma Santa Barbara, Kaleponi, he 20% ka meaʻai maka no nā makahiki he 100 i hala iho nei, akā ua kāpae ʻo ia i ka meaʻai maka ma kahi o hoʻokahi makahiki aku nei i ka wā i loaʻa ai ke kālā a me nā pilikia ʻē aʻe. paʻakikī loa e kākoʻo i kā lākou mau keiki ʻelima. mai 6 a 19 makahiki.

Ua kū pū kāna mau keiki i nā pilikia pilikanaka. "Ua hoʻokaʻawale ʻia lākou, hoʻokaʻawale ʻia, hōʻole ʻia," wahi a Ms Talifero, ka mea i hoʻokomo i ka meaʻai kuke i ka papa ʻohana.
ʻO Sergei Butenko, 29, he mea hana kiʻiʻoniʻoni mai Ashland, Oregon, ua ʻai wale i ka meaʻai maka mai ka makahiki 9 a hiki i ka 26, a i nā manawa āpau i haʻi aku kona ʻohana i nā pono o ia ʻano meaʻai.

"Inā he 15 mau hola e hana ai i ka lasagna maka, ʻelua hola o kou ola, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka hana ʻana i ka lasagna vegan a meaʻai meaʻai a noʻonoʻo i kāu ʻoihana ponoʻī," wahi āna.
