I kēia lā, hoʻokahi makahiki i hala, ua hoʻōki au i ka ʻai ʻana i ka ʻiʻo. No ka maʻalahi: ʻaʻohe pipi, puaʻa, moa a i ʻole kekahi mea i loko o ia mau mea. ʻAʻole au makemake i ka iʻa, no laila ʻaʻohe nīnau o ka hāʻawi ʻana iā lākou. ʻO kēia lā koʻu lā makahiki vegan!
Baluna ea! Serpentine! Pono wau e haʻi i ka honua e ʻai wau i ka saladi (a me ka pizza) a me nā lentils (a me ka ice cream)!
No ka hoʻohanohano ʻana i ka lā hoʻomanaʻo, ua hoʻāʻo mākou i kahi hale ʻaina hou i ke ahiahi. ʻAe, he kumu wale nō ia no ka hele ʻana i waho, akā ua hiki iaʻu ke ola i ka chili meaʻai. Ma hope o kēlā, ua hiki iaʻu ke hana i 20 push-ups. Hoʻohenehene. Ua komo au i ke kaʻa mehana a hoʻi i ka hale.
Ua ʻai au i nā meaʻai vegan no nā makahiki (e like me ka tofu a i ʻole ka veggie burgers), akā ua ʻai mau wau i ka ʻiʻo me lākou. A hoʻokahi makahiki i hala aku nei ua haʻalele loa au. I ka wā mua, kāhea ʻo Fran iaʻu he meaʻai meaʻai. “ʻAe, ʻaʻole wau ʻai i ka ʻiʻo. E kapa wau iaʻu iho he meaʻai meaʻai inā noho au i hoʻokahi makahiki.
ʻAʻole makemake wau e haʻi i ka poʻe he mea ʻai meaʻai wau. Ua lohe au i nā ʻano hoʻohenehene. Pehea e ʻike ai i ka mea ʻai meaʻai? Mai hopohopo, e haʻi mai lākou iā ʻoe. (Inā ʻoe e noʻonoʻo ana e kau i kēia ʻakaʻaka ma nā ʻōlelo, ua hahau wau iā ʻoe. Ua ʻai ʻoe?)
Nui nā nīnau iaʻu. “Makemake anei ʻoe i ka ʻiʻo? Ua luhi mau ʻoe? Ma hea ʻoe e loaʻa ai ka protein? E ʻae anei ʻoe i nā keiki e ʻai i ka ʻiʻo? (Makaukau nā manamana lima e kelepona i ka helu o ka mana mālama keiki) ʻAe, ʻai lākou i ka ʻiʻo. Ua hoʻāʻo ʻo Lilia e hopu i kahi manu i ke kauwela a ʻōlelo ʻo ia no ka ʻaina ahiahi no mākou, no laila i kēia manawa he mea ʻai ʻiʻo ʻo ia.
I kekahi manawa lohe au "ʻAʻohe aʻu mea e kūʻē i ka mea ʻai meaʻai inā ʻaʻole lākou e hoʻomaka i kā lākou moralizing." ʻAe, maopopo iaʻu ʻaʻohe mea makemake e aʻo ʻia, akā e ʻae kākou: i kekahi manawa ʻo ka huaʻōlelo maʻalahi "ʻAʻole wau ʻai i ka ʻiʻo" e hōʻeha i nā kānaka. ʻAʻole ia e ʻeha iaʻu ke makemake ʻole ʻoe i ka pīni burger, no laila e hele pupule inā ʻike ʻoe ʻaʻole wau ʻai i nā iwi ʻaoʻao. E noho maluhia kākou! Hiki iaʻu ke kaʻana like i nā pālaʻi.
