ʻO ke kumu o nā omnivores ʻaʻole wale i ka mahiʻai, akā i loko o ka puʻuwai a me ka ʻuhane o ka ʻike ʻAmelika. ʻO ka nui o nā maʻi e hoʻopilikia nei i ka moʻomeheu hou e pili ana i ka meaʻai ʻoihana. E like me kā ka mea kākau moʻolelo ʻo Michael Pollan i ʻōlelo ai, "ʻO kēia ka manawa mua i ka mōʻaukala kanaka i ʻoi aku ka momona a me ka ʻai ʻole."
Ke noʻonoʻo ʻoe, ʻo ka meaʻai meaʻai meaʻai he hopena maikaʻi loa ia i ka pilikia meaʻai olakino o ʻAmelika. Aia i ka papa inoa ma lalo nā kumu ʻelima e hele ai i ka vegan.
1. ʻAʻole hiki i nā mea kanu ke loaʻa i ka maʻi cardiovascular. ʻO ka maʻi cardiovascular ke kumu nui o ka make ma US. Ma kahi noiʻi i paʻi ʻia e Harvard Health Publications, hiki ke pale ʻia ka maʻi cardiovascular me ka meaʻai momona i nā mea kanu, nā huaʻai, a me nā nati. Ma kahi o 76000 poʻe i komo i ka haʻawina. No nā meaʻai meaʻai, ʻo ka pilikia o ka maʻi puʻuwai i hoʻohālikelike ʻia me nā mea komo ʻē aʻe he 25% haʻahaʻa.
2. ʻAʻole maʻamau ka poʻe ʻai meaʻai i nā kemika pōʻino i loaʻa i kā mākou meaʻai. Manaʻo ka poʻe he nui nā mea kanu a me nā huaʻai i nā pesticides, akā ʻaʻole ʻoiaʻiʻo kēia. Wahi a ka ʻikepili mai ka Environmental Protection Agency, loaʻa ka 95 pakeneka o nā pesticides i loko o ka ʻiʻo a me nā huahana waiū.

4. He mea maikaʻi ka ʻai meaʻai no ke kaiapuni. ʻO nā kinoea ʻino i hoʻopuka ʻia e nā kaʻa i manaʻo ʻia he mea kōkua nui i ka hoʻomehana honua. Eia nō naʻe, ʻoi aku ka nui o nā kinoea ʻōmaʻomaʻo i hoʻokuʻu ʻia ma nā mahiʻai i ka nui o nā kinoea i hoʻopuka ʻia e nā mīkini a pau o ka honua. ʻO kēia ma muli o ka hana ʻana o nā mahiʻai ʻoihana i 2 biliona toni o ka manure i kēlā me kēia makahiki. Hoʻolei ʻia ka ʻōpala i loko o nā ʻōpala. Hiki ke kahe a hoʻohaumia i ka wai a me ka ea ma ia wahi. A ʻaʻole kēia e kamaʻilio e pili ana i ka methane i hoʻopuka ʻia e nā bipi a ʻo ia ke kumu nui o ka hopena ʻōmaʻomaʻo.

Hoʻohanohano ʻo Kirk i kona wā ʻōpio i mea ʻai meaʻai. ʻOiai ua hoʻololi koke ʻo ia i ka meaʻai meaʻai vegan. ʻAʻohe pono e nānā i nā makemake o Mimi e hōʻike i ke kōkua o ka vegetarianism i ka mālama ʻana i ka ʻōpio.
ʻO ka meaʻai meaʻai meaʻai piha i nā huaora a me nā minela e kōkua iā ʻoe e ʻōpio. Eia kekahi, ʻo ka meaʻai meaʻai he mea koho maikaʻi loa ia i ka anti-wrinkle cream, nona kahi moʻolelo kaumaha o nā hoʻokolohua holoholona.
ʻO Vegetarian kekahi o nā lepili he nui. Ma waho aʻe o ka lilo ʻana i mea ʻai meaʻai, hiki i ke kanaka ke noʻonoʻo iā ia iho he mea hoʻoikaika i nā pono holoholona, mea mālama kaiapuni, ʻike olakino, a ʻōpio. I ka pōkole, ʻo mākou ka mea a mākou e ʻai ai.
