ʻO ka home kahi o kou puʻuwai. ʻAʻole lele kekahi mau mākua ke haʻi ʻoe iā lākou e hele ana ʻoe i ka vegan. ʻAʻohe hewa i kēia a ʻaʻole lākou e hewa no kekahi mea, ʻo lākou, e like me nā poʻe he nui, manaʻoʻiʻo i nā moʻolelo e pili ana i ka vegetarianism:

A ʻaʻole makemake paha kou mau mākua e ʻike i ka ʻai ʻana i ka ʻiʻo i mea e hōʻeha nui ai i nā holoholona, hoʻāʻo lākou e hoʻopuka i nā ʻano kumu like ʻole a me nā kumu ʻaʻole lākou makemake iā ʻoe e hoʻololi.

Ua haʻi mai ʻo Sally Dearing, he ʻumikūmāhā makahiki, mai Bristol iaʻu, "I koʻu lilo ʻana i mea ʻai meaʻai, ua hana koʻu makuahine i kahi lālani. Pīhoihoi au i kona ʻeha ʻana.

Ma hope o ʻelua makahiki, lilo ʻo ia i mea ʻai meaʻai, a ʻo koʻu makuakāne hoʻi i hoʻōki i ka ʻai ʻana i ka ʻiʻo ʻulaʻula. ʻOiaʻiʻo, hiki i kou mau mākua ke hoʻopaʻapaʻa ponoʻī: mālama maikaʻi ʻia nā holoholona a pepehi kanaka, no laila ʻaʻohe kumu e hopohopo ai.
