Aia kekahi hiʻohiʻona o ka ʻōpio ʻAmelika me ka Big Mac ma kekahi lima a me ka Coca-Cola ma kekahi… Hoʻohui kekahi i kēia kiʻi i ka ʻuala palai e hū mai i ko lākou waha. ʻAe, i kekahi ʻano, ʻo nā helu inexorable o ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka "junk food" - ʻoiai ua kapa ʻia ka meaʻai wikiwiki ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, e hōʻoia i kēia. Akā i nā makahiki he 5-7 i hala iho nei, ua ʻike ʻia kekahi ʻano hoʻoikaika hou aʻe ma ʻAmelika: koho pinepine ka poʻe ʻōpio i ke koho ʻana i ... meaʻai "junk" meaʻai, ma kahi o ka ʻiʻo maʻamau! Maikaʻi a maikaʻi ʻole paha, hoʻoholo ʻoe.
ʻO nā ʻepekema ʻAmelika, no kekahi kumu, ʻaʻole hiki ke hana i ka noiʻi ʻana i ka helu o nā ʻōpio meaʻai ma ka ʻāina o ka Yellow Devil. ʻO kekahi o nā haʻawina hilinaʻi loa i loaʻa i kēia lā mai ka makahiki 2005, a e like me kēia ʻikepili, aia ma kahi o 3% o nā meaʻai meaʻai ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa ma waena o nā makahiki 8 a me 18 (ʻaʻole kēlā liʻiliʻi, ma ke ala!). A ʻoiaʻiʻo, ua loli ka nui no ka maikaʻi mai ia manawa.
I ka makahiki 2007, ʻike ka poʻe sociologists i kahi ʻano hoihoi: ʻoi aku ka nui o nā poʻe ʻōpio ʻAmelika e koho ʻaʻole i "Big Mac" a i ʻole nā pīni i palai ʻia i ka puaʻa (ikona o ka meaʻai ʻAmelika) - akā he mea ʻole ka ʻiʻo. Ma keʻano laulā, e like me nā haʻawina he nui, makemake nui nā keiki a me nā ʻōpio 8-18 mau makahiki i ka meaʻai wikiwiki - nā mea hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻokomo iā ʻoe iho i ka wā e hele ai, ma ka holo, a e hele i kāu ʻoihana. Hoʻomanawanui ka poʻe i kēia makahiki. No laila, ʻo ka cutlet kahiko maikaʻi ma waena o ʻelua buns, kahi i hoʻohui i ka nui o ka ʻeha i ka ʻāina me kekahi o nā pilikia obesity koʻikoʻi loa o ka honua, ke pani ʻia nei e ... ʻē aʻe, ʻoiai he meaʻai "junk" pū kekahi! Meaʻai wikiwiki nā mea kanu.
Ke hoʻololi mālie nei i nā pono o nā mea kūʻai aku, ʻoi aku ka nui o nā hale kūʻai ʻAmelika e kau i kā lākou mau papa "analogues" vegetarian o nā meaʻai kaulana: sandwiches, broth a me nā pī, ka waiū - me ka ʻole o nā mea holoholona. "E kipa mākou i koʻu mau mākua ma Florida i kēlā me kēia makahiki," wahi a Mangels, kekahi o nā mea pane i kahi noiʻi i alakaʻi ʻia e USA Today, "a pono wau e hoʻopaʻa i kahi pahu piha me ka waiū soy, tofu a me nā meaʻai vegan ʻē aʻe. I kēia manawa, lawe mākou i kekahi mea ʻole! " Ua hoʻolaha hauʻoli ʻo Mangels e hiki iā ia ke kūʻai aku i nā huahana maʻamau a pau mai ka maʻi ahulau hou i loko o kahi hale kūʻai kokoke i ka hale o kona mau mākua. "ʻAʻole ʻo ia ka wahi holomua loa e pili ana i ka ʻai olakino," wahi āna. Ke hoʻololi nei ke kūlana no ka maikaʻi ma waho o ʻAmelika, kahi i ikaika ai ka maʻamau o ka ʻai ʻana i ka ʻiʻo a me nā meaʻai ʻai ʻole (a pinepine ʻole). He ʻAmelika maʻamau (a me ka makuahine o ʻelua mau mea ʻai meaʻai manuahi), hiki iā Mangels ke kiʻi i ka waiu soy, nā sopa i hana ʻole ʻia i ka ʻiʻo a me nā pī kini kīʻaha ʻole ma nā hale kūʻai āpau o ka ʻāina. Hoʻomaopopo ʻo ia he mea ʻoluʻolu loa ia mau hoʻololi i kāna mau keiki ʻelua, nāna e mālama i ka meaʻai meaʻai meaʻai.
Ma waho aʻe o nā hoʻololi leʻaleʻa i ka hoʻopiha ʻana i nā helu hale kūʻai, ʻike ʻia nā ʻano like ʻole ma ke kahua o nā meaʻai kula ma ʻAmelika. Ua haʻi aku ʻo Hemma Sundaram, e noho kokoke ana i Wakinekona, i ka poʻe koho balota, ua hauʻoli ʻo ia i ka wā ma mua koke o ka haʻalele ʻana o kāna kaikamahine 13 makahiki no ka hoʻomoana kauwela makahiki, ua loaʻa iā ia kahi leka mai kāna kula mai e noi ana iā ia e koho i kāna kaikamahine. papa kuhikuhi. . Ua hauʻoli hoʻi ke kaikamahine i kēia pīhoihoi, a ʻōlelo ʻo ia i kekahi manawa i hala aku nei ua hoʻōki ʻo ia i ka manaʻo e like me ka "hipa ʻeleʻele", ʻoiai ke ulu nei ka nui o nā mea ʻai meaʻai i kāna kula. “ʻElima mau mea ʻai meaʻai ma kaʻu papa. I kēia mau lā, ʻaʻole oʻu hilahila e nīnau i ka hale ʻaina kula no ka sopa moa ʻole a me nā mea like. Eia kekahi, no mākou (nā keiki kula meaʻai) he nui nā salakeke meaʻai e koho ai," wahi a ke kaikamahine kula.
ʻO kekahi mea hoʻopiʻi noiʻi, ʻo Sierra Predovic (17) ʻōpio mea ʻai meaʻai, ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia ua hiki iā ia ke ʻai i nā kāloti hou a ʻai i kāna hummus punahele e like me nā ʻōpio ʻē aʻe e ʻai ana i nā Big Macs - ma ka hele ʻana, ma ka hele ʻana, a hauʻoli. . ʻO kēia kaikamahine kekahi o nā ʻōpio ʻAmelika e koho i ka kuke wikiwiki a ʻai i ka meaʻai meaʻai meaʻai, hiki ke hoʻololi i kekahi hapa i ka meaʻai wikiwiki i kamaʻāina i nā ʻAmelika.
