ua hana i kahi ninaninau me ka mea kākau Eating Animals ʻo Jonathan Safran Foer. Kūkākūkā ka mea kākau i nā manaʻo o ka vegetarianism a me nā kumu i hoʻoikaika iā ia e kākau i kēia puke.
Ua ʻike ʻia ʻo ia no kāna prose, akā ua kākau koke ʻo ia i kahi puke non-fiction e wehewehe ana i ka hana ʻana o ka ʻiʻo. Wahi a ka mea kākau, ʻaʻole ʻo ia he ʻepekema a he akeakamai - ua kākau ʻo ia i ka "Eating Animals" ma ke ʻano he mea ʻai.
“Ma nā ululāʻau o ʻEulopa waena, ʻai ʻo ia e ola i kēlā me kēia manawa. Ma ʻAmelika, 50 mau makahiki ma hope mai, ʻai mākou i nā mea a mākou e makemake ai. Ua piha nā keʻena kīhini i nā meaʻai i kūʻai ʻia me ka ʻoluʻolu, nā meaʻai meaʻai nui loa, nā meaʻai ʻaʻole pono mākou. I ka pau ʻana o ka lā pau, hoʻolei mākou i ka meaʻai me ka honi ʻole. ʻAʻole hopohopo ka meaʻai.
Hāʻawi koʻu kupuna wahine iā mākou i kēia ola. Akā, ʻaʻole hiki iā ia ke hoʻoluliluli i kēlā manaʻolana. Nona, ʻaʻole ʻai ka meaʻai. ʻO ka meaʻai he mea weliweli, hanohano, mahalo, hoʻopaʻi, hauʻoli, hoʻohaʻahaʻa, hoʻomana, mōʻaukala, a me ke aloha. Me he mea lā ua ʻohi ʻia nā hua āna i hāʻawi mai ai iā mākou mai nā lālā o kā mākou ʻohana haʻihaʻi, "he ʻāpana mai ka puke.
Radio Netherlands: He mea nui kēia puke e pili ana i ka ʻohana a me ka meaʻai. ʻOiaʻiʻo, hānau ʻia ka manaʻo e kākau puke me kāna keiki, ke keiki mua.
Foer: Makemake au e hoʻonaʻauao iā ia me ke ʻano kūlike. ʻO kahi mea e koi ai i ka naʻaupō liʻiliʻi e like me ka hiki, me ka liʻiliʻi o ka poina i manaʻo ʻia, a me ka liʻiliʻi o ka hoʻokamani. Ua ʻike wau, e like me ka ʻike o ka hapa nui o ka poʻe, hoʻāla ka ʻiʻo i nā nīnau koʻikoʻi. A ua makemake au e hoʻoholo i koʻu manaʻo maoli no kēia mau mea āpau a hānai i kaʻu keiki e like me kēia.
Radio Netherlands: Ua kaulana ʻoe ma ke ʻano he mea kākau moʻolelo, a ma kēia ʻano ua hoʻohana ʻia ka ʻōlelo "Mai hoʻokuʻu i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo e hōʻino i kahi moʻolelo maikaʻi". Akā, ua piha ka puke "Eating Animals" i nā mea maoli. Pehea ʻoe i koho ai i ka ʻike no ka puke?
Foer: Me ka malama nui. Ua hoʻohana au i nā helu haʻahaʻa loa, ʻo ka pinepine mai ka ʻoihana ʻiʻo ponoʻī. Inā ua koho au i nā helu conservative liʻiliʻi, ua ʻoi aku ka ikaika o kaʻu puke. Akā, ʻaʻole au i makemake i ka poʻe heluhelu manaʻoʻiʻo loa o ka honua e kanalua i koʻu haʻi ʻana i nā ʻike pololei e pili ana i ka ʻoihana ʻiʻo.
Radio Netherlands: Eia kekahi, ua hoʻohana ʻoe i kekahi manawa e nānā i ke kaʻina hana o nā huahana ʻiʻo me kou mau maka ponoʻī. I loko o ka puke, kākau ʻoe e pili ana i kou kolo ʻana i ka ʻāina o nā mea kanu hana ʻiʻo ma o ka uea ʻauʻau i ka pō. ʻAʻole anei i maʻalahi?
Foer: Paʻakikī loa! A ʻaʻole oʻu makemake e hana, ʻaʻohe mea ʻakaʻaka, weliweli. He ʻoiaʻiʻo ʻē aʻe kēia e pili ana i ka ʻoihana ʻiʻo: aia kahi ao huna nui a puni. ʻAʻole loaʻa iā ʻoe ka manawa e kamaʻilio me kekahi lālā o ka papa o kekahi o nā hui. Laki paha ʻoe i ke kamaʻilio ʻana me kekahi kanaka pili aupuni paʻakikī, akā ʻaʻole ʻoe e hālāwai me kekahi mea ʻike i kekahi mea. Inā makemake ʻoe e loaʻa ka ʻike, e ʻike ʻoe he mea hiki ʻole. A haʻalulu maoli nō! Makemake ʻoe e nānā i kahi i hele mai ai kāu meaʻai a ʻaʻole lākou e ʻae iā ʻoe. Pono kēia e ho'āla i ka kānalua. A ua huhū wale iaʻu.
Radio Netherlands: A he aha kā lākou i hūnā ai?
Foer: Huna lākou i ka hana ʻino ʻōnaehana. ʻO ke ʻano o ka mālama ʻia ʻana o kēia mau holoholona pōʻino ma ke ao holoʻokoʻa e manaʻo ʻia he kānāwai ʻole (inā he pōpoki a ʻīlio paha). ʻO ka hopena o ke kaiapuni o ka ʻoihana ʻiʻo he mea weliweli wale nō. Huna nā hui i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo e pili ana i nā kūlana e hana ai nā kānaka i kēlā me kēia lā. He kiʻi pōwehiwehi ʻole ke ʻano o kou nānā ʻana.
ʻAʻohe mea maikaʻi ma kēia ʻōnaehana holoʻokoʻa. I ka wā i kākau ʻia ai kēia puke, ua manaʻo ʻia he 18% o ka hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana o ke kinoea ʻōmaʻomaʻo mai nā holoholona mai. I ka lā i paʻi ʻia ai ka puke, ua hoʻoponopono hou ʻia kēia ʻikepili: ua manaʻo ʻia ʻo 51%. ʻO ia hoʻi, ʻoi aku ke kuleana o kēia ʻoihana no ka hoʻomehana honua ma mua o nā ʻāpana ʻē aʻe i hui pū ʻia. Ua ʻōlelo pū ka UN, ʻo ka hānai holoholona nui ka mea ʻelua a ʻekolu paha ma ka papa inoa o nā kumu o nā pilikia kūlohelohe koʻikoʻi ma ka honua.
Akā ʻaʻole pono e like! ʻAʻole like nā mea ma ka honua i kēia mau manawa, ua hoʻololi maoli mākou i ke ʻano e ka mahiʻai holoholona ʻoihana.
Ua hele au i nā mahi puaʻa a ua ʻike au i kēia mau loko ʻōpala a puni lākou. He mau loko ʻauʻau ʻOlumepika lākou i piha i ka ʻā. Ua ʻike au a ʻōlelo nā mea a pau he hewa, ʻaʻole pono. He mea ʻawaʻawa a inā hiki koke ke kanaka i laila, e make koke ʻo ia. A, ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻole mālama ʻia nā mea o loko o kēia mau loko, kahe lākou a komo i ka ʻōnaehana wai. No laila, ʻo ka mahi holoholona ke kumu mua o ka haumia wai.
A ʻo ka hihia hou, ʻo ka maʻi ahulau E. coli? Ua make nā keiki i ka ʻai ʻana i ka hamburger. ʻAʻole loa au e hāʻawi i kaʻu keiki i hamburger, ʻaʻole loa - ʻoiai inā he manawa liʻiliʻi paha e hiki mai ana kekahi pathogen ma laila.
ʻIke au i nā mea ʻai meaʻai he nui ʻaʻole mālama i nā holoholona. ʻAʻole lākou manaʻo i ka hopena o nā holoholona ma nā mahiʻai. Akā ʻaʻole lākou e hoʻopā i ka ʻiʻo no ka hopena o ke kaiapuni a i ke olakino kanaka.
ʻAʻole wau kekahi o ka poʻe i makemake e ʻai me ka moa, ka puaʻa a me ka bipi. Akā ʻaʻole wau inaina iā lākou. A ʻo kēia kā mākou e kamaʻilio nei. ʻAʻole mākou e kamaʻilio e pili ana i ka pono e aloha i nā holoholona, ke ʻōlelo nei mākou ʻaʻole pono ke inaina iā lākou. Mai hana e like me ko mākou inaina iā lākou.
Radio Netherlands: Makemake mākou e noʻonoʻo e noho nei mākou i kahi hui civili a ʻoi aʻe paha, a me he mea lā ua hoʻopuka ko mākou aupuni i kekahi ʻano kānāwai e pale ai i ka hoʻomāinoino ʻole ʻia o nā holoholona. Ma kāu mau ʻōlelo, ʻaʻohe mea nāna e nānā i ka mālama ʻana i kēia mau kānāwai?
Foer: ʻO ka mea mua, paʻakikī loa ka hahai ʻana. ʻOiai me ka manaʻo maikaʻi loa ma ka ʻaoʻao o ka poʻe nānā, ua luku ʻia ka nui o nā holoholona i ka nui nui! 'O ka manawa pinepine, he 'elua kekona ka mea nana e nana i ka loko a me ka waho o ka holoholona i mea e hoomaopopo ai i ka hele ana o ka pepehi, i hana pinepine ia ma kekahi wahi o ka hale. A ʻo ka lua, ʻo ka pilikia ʻaʻole pono nā loiloi kūpono i kā lākou makemake. No ka mea, ʻoi aku ka nui o ke kumukūʻai o ka mālama ʻana i ka holoholona ma ke ʻano he holoholona, ʻaʻole ia he meaʻai e hiki mai ana. E hoʻolohi kēia i ke kaʻina hana a ʻoi aku ka pipiʻi o ka ʻiʻo.
Radio Netherlands: Ua lilo ʻo Foer i mea ʻai meaʻai ma kahi o ʻehā makahiki aku nei. ʻIke loa, ua kaumaha nui ka moʻolelo ʻohana i kāna hoʻoholo hope.
Foer: He 20 mau makahiki iaʻu i lilo ai i mea ʻai meaʻai. ʻO kēia mau makahiki he 20 aʻu i ʻike nui ai, ʻaʻole au i haʻalele i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo. Nui ka poʻe ʻike maikaʻi, akamai a hoʻonaʻauao ma ka honua e hoʻomau nei i ka ʻai ʻana i ka ʻiʻo, me ka ʻike pono i ke ʻano a me kahi e hele mai ai. ʻAe, hoʻopiha iā mākou a ʻono maikaʻi. Akā ʻoluʻolu nā mea he nui, a hōʻole mau mākou iā lākou, hiki iā mākou ke hana i kēia.
ʻO ka ʻiʻo nō hoʻi ka sopa moa i hāʻawi ʻia iā ʻoe ma ke ʻano he keiki me ke anu, ʻo ia nā ʻokiʻoki a ke kupuna wahine, nā hamburger a ka makua kāne i ka pā i ka lā lā, ka iʻa a ka makuahine mai ka ʻuala - ʻo ia nā mea hoʻomanaʻo o ko mākou ola. ʻO ka ʻiʻo kekahi mea, loaʻa i kēlā me kēia kanaka ko lākou iho. ʻO ka meaʻai ka mea evocative loa, manaʻoʻiʻo wau iā ia. A he mea nui kēia mau hoʻomanaʻo iā mākou, ʻaʻole pono mākou e hoʻomāʻewaʻewa iā lākou, ʻaʻole pono e hoʻohaʻahaʻa iā lākou, pono mākou e noʻonoʻo. Eia naʻe, pono mākou e nīnau iā mākou iho: ʻaʻohe palena o ka waiwai o kēia mau hoʻomanaʻo, a i ʻole he mau mea nui aʻe paha? A ʻo ka lua, hiki iā lākou ke pani?
Maopopo iā ʻoe inā ʻaʻole au e ʻai i ka moa a koʻu kupuna wahine me nā kāloti, ʻo ia ke ʻano o ka nalo ʻana o ke ʻano o ka hoʻolaha ʻana i kona aloha, a i ʻole e loli wale kēia ʻano? Radio Netherlands: ʻO kāna kīʻaha pūlima kēia? Foer: ʻAe, ka moa a me ke kāloti, ua ʻai au i nā manawa he nui. I kēlā me kēia manawa mākou e hele ai i ko kupuna wahine, manaʻo mākou iā ia. Eia kekahi kupuna wahine me ka moa: ʻai mākou i nā mea a pau a ʻōlelo mākou ʻo ia ka mea kuke maikaʻi loa ma ka honua. A laila ho'ōki au i ka ʻai ʻana. A noʻonoʻo wau, he aha kēia manawa? Kāroti me kāloti? Akā, ua loaʻa iā ia nā mea ʻai ʻē aʻe. A ʻo kēia ka hōʻike maikaʻi loa o ke aloha. I kēia manawa ua hānai ʻo ia iā mākou i nā meaʻai like ʻole no ka mea ua loli mākou a ua loli ʻo ia i kāna pane. A i kēia kuke ʻana, ʻoi aku ka manaʻo, ʻoi aku ka nui o ka meaʻai i kēia manawa.
ʻO ka mea pōʻino, ʻaʻole i unuhi ʻia kēia puke i ka ʻōlelo Lūkini, no laila ke hāʻawi aku nei mākou iā ʻoe ma ka ʻōlelo Pelekania.
Mahalo nui no ka unuhi ʻana o ke kamaʻilio radio
