Inā hāʻawi kekahi iā ʻoe i kahi brownie a haʻi iā ʻoe i ka nui o ke kō i loko o ia mea, nā calorie, pehea kona ʻono, a me ke kumukūʻai, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻoholo e ʻai ia. ʻO kēia kāu koho. Inā, ma hope o kou ʻai ʻana, lawe ʻia ʻoe i ka haukapila a haʻi mai kekahi iā ʻoe: "Ma ke ala, he arsenic i loko o ka keke," e pīhoihoi paha ʻoe.
He mea ʻole ke koho inā ʻaʻole ʻoe ʻike i nā mea a pau e pili ana iā ia.

He aha kou manaʻo inā ʻike ka poʻe e lilo ana ka hapakolu o ka ili o ka honua i wao nahele ma muli o ka hana ʻana i ka ʻiʻo. E hoʻopūʻiwa paha ka poʻe i ka ʻike ʻana aia ma kahi o ka hapalua o nā kai o ka honua i kahi pōʻino kaiaola ma muli o ka lawaiʻa ikaika.
Hoʻoholo i ka puzzle: He aha ka huahana a mākou e hana nei a nui aʻe ka poʻe e make ana i ka pōloli? Hāʻawi pio? ʻO ka pane ka ʻiʻo. ʻAʻole manaʻoʻiʻo ka hapa nui o ka poʻe i kēia, akā ʻoiaʻiʻo. ʻO ke kumu, ʻaʻole maikaʻi loa ka hana ʻana i ka ʻiʻo, i mea e hana ai i hoʻokahi kilokani o ka ʻiʻo, pono e hoʻohana ʻia he ʻumi kilokani o ka protein meaʻai. Akā, hiki ke hānai ʻia nā kānaka i ka protein ʻai wale nō.
ʻO ke kumu e make ai ka poʻe i ka pōloli no ka ʻai nui ʻana o ka poʻe ma ke komohana waiwai i nā hua mahiʻai e hānai ai i kā lākou holoholona. ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi no ka mea hiki i ke Komohana ke koi aku i nā ʻāina ʻē aʻe, ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o ka waiwai e hoʻoulu i ka meaʻai no kā lākou holoholona ke hiki iā lākou ke ulu no kā lākou ʻai ponoʻī.
No laila he aha ke Komohana a he aha kēia poʻe waiwai? ʻO ke Komohana ka ʻāpana o ka honua nāna e hoʻomalu i ke kahe o ke kapikala, ʻoihana a loaʻa ke kūlana kiʻekiʻe o ke ola. ʻO ke Komohana nā ʻāina o ʻEulopa, me ka UK, a me ka USA a me Kanada, i kekahi manawa ua kapa ʻia kēia mau ʻāina ʻo ka Northern Block. Eia nō naʻe, aia ma ka Hema kekahi mau ʻāina me ke kūlana kiʻekiʻe o ka nohona, e like me Iapana, Australia a me New Zealand, ʻo ka hapa nui o nā ʻāina o ka ʻaoʻao hema he mau ʻāina ʻilihune.
Ma kahi o 7 biliona kānaka e noho ana ma ko kākou honua, ma kahi o ka hapakolu e noho ana ma ka ʻĀkau waiwai a ʻelua hapakolu ma ka Hema ʻilihune. I mea e ola ai, hoʻohana mākou a pau i nā huahana mahiʻai - akā i nā nui like ʻole.
Eia kekahi lā,ʻo ʻO kahi keiki i hānau ʻia ma ʻAmelika e hoʻohana i 12 mau manawa ʻoi aku ka nui o nā kumuwaiwai kūlohelohe i ke ola ma mua o kahi keiki i hānau ʻia ma Bangladesh: 12 mau manawa ʻoi aku ka lāʻau, ke keleawe, ka hao, ka wai, ka ʻāina, a pēlā aku. Aia kekahi o nā kumu o kēia mau ʻokoʻa ma ka mōʻaukala. He mau haneli mau makahiki i hala aku nei, ua lanakila nā koa o ka ʻĀkau i nā ʻāina hema a hoʻolilo iā lākou i mau panalāʻau, ʻoiaʻiʻo, aia nō lākou i kēia mau ʻāina. Ua hana lākou i kēia no ka mea ua waiwai nā ʻāina hema i nā ʻano waiwai kūlohelohe āpau. Ua hoʻohana nā colonialist ʻEulopa i kēia mau ʻāina, ua koi lākou iā lākou e hoʻolako i nā huahana e pono ai no ka hana o ka ʻoihana. Ua hoʻonele ʻia ka nui o nā kamaʻāina o nā kolone i ka ʻāina a koi ʻia e ulu i nā huahana mahiʻai no nā ʻāina ʻEulopa. I loko o kēia manawa, ua lawe ikaika ʻia nā miliona o nā kānaka mai ʻApelika i ʻAmelika a me ʻEulopa e hana ma ke ʻano he kauā. ʻO kēia kekahi o nā kumu i lilo ai ka ʻĀkau i mea waiwai a ikaika.
Ua kū ka noho ʻana i nā makahiki he kanahā a i ʻole kanalima i hala ma hope o ka loaʻa ʻana o ke kūʻokoʻa o nā kolone, i ka manawa pinepine o ke kaua. ʻOiai ua manaʻo ʻia nā ʻāina e like me Kenya a me Nigeria, India a me Malaysia, Ghana a me Pakistan i kēia manawa ua manaʻo ʻia he kūʻokoʻa, ua lilo ka noho ʻana i mea ʻilihune a hilinaʻi i ke Komohana. No laila, i ka ʻōlelo ʻana o ke Komohana he pono ia i ka palaoa no ka hānai ʻana i kāna mau pipi, ʻaʻohe mea ʻē aʻe o ka Hema akā e ulu. ʻO kēia kekahi o nā ala liʻiliʻi e hiki ai i kēia mau ʻāina ke loaʻa kālā no ka uku ʻana i nā ʻenehana hou a me nā waiwai ʻoihana pono e hiki ke kūʻai ʻia ma ke Komohana. ʻAʻole ʻoi aku ka waiwai a me ke kālā o ke Komohana, akā loaʻa pū kekahi i ka hapa nui o nā meaʻai. ʻOiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻole wale nā ʻAmelika e ʻai i ka nui o ka ʻiʻo, akā ma ke ʻano holoʻokoʻa ka lehulehu o ke Komohana.
Ma UK, ʻo ka awelika o ka ʻiʻo i ʻai ʻia e hoʻokahi kanaka he 71 kilokani i kēlā me kēia makahiki. Ma India, ʻelua kilokani ʻiʻo wale nō i kēlā me kēia kanaka, ma ʻAmelika, 112 kilokani.
Ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, ʻai nā keiki mai 7 a hiki i 13 makahiki ʻeono a me ka hapa hamburgers i kēlā me kēia pule; a kūʻai aku nā hale ʻai ʻai wikiwiki i 6.7 biliona hamburger i kēlā me kēia makahiki.
ʻO kēlā makemake nui i nā hamburgers he hopena i ka honua holoʻokoʻa. I kēia millennium wale nō, a mai ka manawa i hoʻomaka ai ka poʻe e ʻai i ka ʻiʻo i ka nui - a hiki i kēia lā, i ka wā e luku maoli ai nā mea ʻai i ka honua.
E manaʻoʻiʻo a ʻaʻole paha, ʻekolu manawa ka nui o nā holoholona mahiʻai e like me nā kānaka ma ka honua - 16.8 biliona. He ʻai nui nā holoholona a hiki ke ʻai i nā mauna meaʻai. Akā, ʻo ka hapa nui o nā mea i hoʻopau ʻia, puka mai ma kēlā ʻaoʻao a pau. ʻO nā holoholona āpau i hānai ʻia no ka hana ʻana i nā huahana ʻiʻo e ʻai i ka protein ma mua o kā lākou hana. ʻAi ka puaʻa i 9 kilokani o ka polokina meaʻai i mea e hana ai i hoʻokahi kilokani ʻiʻo a ʻai ka moa i 5 kilokani e hana ai i hoʻokahi kilokani ʻiʻo.
ʻAi nā holoholona ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa i ka mauʻu a me ka soybeans e hānai ai i ka hapakolu o ka heluna kanaka o ka honua, a i ʻole ka heluna kanaka holoʻokoʻa o India a me Kina. Akā, nui nā bipi ma laila, ʻaʻole lawa ia a ʻoi aku ka nui o nā meaʻai pipi i lawe ʻia mai nā ʻāina ʻē. Kūʻai ʻo ʻAmelika i ka pipi mai nā ʻāina liʻiliʻi o Central a me South Africa.
Hiki paha ke ʻike ʻia ka laʻana o ka ʻōpala ma Haiti, i ʻike ʻia ʻo ia kekahi o nā ʻāina ʻilihune loa o ka honua, kahi e hoʻohana ai ka hapa nui o ka poʻe i ka hapa nui o ka ʻāina maikaʻi loa a momona hoʻi e ulu ai i ka mauʻu i kapa ʻia ʻo alfalfa a me nā hui honua nui lele lele holoholona. i Haiti mai ʻAmelika e ʻai a kau i ke kaumaha. A laila pepehi ʻia nā holoholona a hoʻihoʻi ʻia nā kupapaʻu i ka US e hana hou i nā hamburgers. No ka hoʻolako ʻana i ka meaʻai no nā holoholona ʻAmelika, ua kiola ʻia nā Haitian maʻamau i nā uka, kahi e hoʻāʻo ai lākou e mahiʻai i nā ʻāina ʻino.
I mea e ulu ai ka ʻai e ola ai, hoʻohana nui ka poʻe i ka ʻāina a lilo i ʻāina paʻa ʻole. He pōʻai ʻino ia, ʻo ka poʻe o Haiti e ʻilihune a ʻilihune. ʻAʻole naʻe nā pipi ʻAmelika wale nō e ʻai i ka hapa nui o nā lako meaʻai o ka honua. ʻO ka European Union ka mea lawe nui loa o ka honua i nā meaʻai holoholona - a ʻo 60% o kēia meaʻai mai nā ʻāina hema. E noʻonoʻo i ka nui o ka nui o ka UK, Farani, Italia a me New Zealand e hui pū ai. A e loaʻa iā ʻoe ka ʻāpana o ka ʻāina i hoʻohana ʻia ma nā ʻāina ʻilihune e ulu i ka meaʻai no nā holoholona.
Ke hoʻohana ʻia nei nā ʻāina mahiʻai e hānai a ʻai i 16.8 biliona holoholona mahiʻai. Akā ʻo ka mea weliweli loa ke emi mau nei ka wahi o ka aina momona, ʻoiai ke ulu nei ka helu hānau makahiki ma ka honua i nā manawa a pau. ʻAʻole hui pū nā huina ʻelua. ʻO ka hopena, ʻelua hapakolu (o ka poʻe ʻilihune) o ka poʻe ʻilihune o ka honua e noho nei mai ka lima a i ka waha i mea e mālama ai i kahi kūlana kiʻekiʻe o ka noho ʻana no ka hapakolu o ka poʻe waiwai.
I ka makahiki 1995, ua hoʻopuka ka World Health Organization i kahi hōʻike i kapa ʻia ʻo "Filling the Gap", i wehewehe i ke kūlana o kēia manawa he pōʻino honua. Wahi a ka hōʻike ʻO nā haneli miliona o ka poʻe ma ka Hema e noho nei i ko lākou ola a pau i ka ʻilihune loa, a ma kahi o 11 miliona mau keiki e make i kēlā me kēia makahiki mai ka maʻi ma muli o ka ʻai ʻole. Ke māhuahua aʻe nei ka ʻokoʻa ma waena o ka ʻĀkau a me ka Hema i kēlā me kēia lā a inā ʻaʻole e loli ke kūlana, ʻoi aku ka wikiwiki o ka pololi, ka ʻilihune a me ka maʻi ma waena o kēlā mau hapakolu ʻelua o ka heluna kanaka o ka honua.
ʻO ke kumu o ka pilikia ʻo ka ʻōpala nui o ka meaʻai a me ka ʻāina i hoʻohana ʻia no ka hana ʻiʻo. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Sir Crispin Tekal o Oxford, ke kākāʻōlelo kaiapuni o ke aupuni UK, he mea hiki ʻole i ka heluna kanaka o ka honua holoʻokoʻa (6.5 biliona) ke noho wale i ka ʻiʻo. ʻAʻohe kumu waiwai like ʻole ma ka honua. He 2.5 biliona kanaka wale nō (ma lalo o ka hapalua o ka heluna kanaka) hiki ke ʻai i kahi ala e loaʻa ai iā lākou ka 35% o kā lākou mau calorie mai nā huahana ʻiʻo. (Pēlā ka ʻai ʻana o ka poʻe o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa.)
E noʻonoʻo wale i ka nui o ka ʻāina e mālama ʻia a me ka nui o ka poʻe e hiki ke hānai ʻia inā pau nā mea kanu meaʻai i hoʻohana ʻia e hānai i nā holoholona i kona ʻano maʻemaʻe e nā kānaka. Ma kahi o 40% o ka palaoa a me ke kulina i hānai ʻia i nā holoholona, a ua hoʻohana ʻia nā wahi ākea o ka ʻāina no ke kanu ʻana i ka alfalfa, ka pīkī, ka turnips a me ka tapioka no ka hānai ʻana. Me ka maʻalahi o kēia mau ʻāina e hiki ke kanu i ka meaʻai no nā kānaka.
