He kaikamahine ʻōpio ʻo Rasa, ʻeleu, ʻimi noiʻi mai Lithuania e ola ana i kahi ola ʻālohilohi a ikaika. Wahi a ia, i loko o nā makahiki 5 i hala iho nei, ʻo ia wale nō ka mea i loli ʻole i kona ola ʻana, ʻo ia ka ʻai ʻana. ʻO Rasa, he vegan a he lālā o ka Organization for the Protection of Animal Rights, e kamaʻilio e pili ana i kona ʻike i kahi nohona etika, a me kāna kīʻaha punahele.
Ua hana ʻia kēia ma kahi o 5 mau makahiki i hala a me ka manaʻo ʻole. I kēlā manawa, ua lilo wau i mea ʻai meaʻai no hoʻokahi makahiki a ʻaʻole i hoʻolālā e haʻalele i nā huahana dairy mai ka meaʻai. I kekahi lā, ʻoiai e ʻimi ana i kahi meaʻai no nā kuki ʻono ma ka Pūnaewele, ua loaʻa iaʻu kahi pūnaewele pono holoholona. Ma luna o laila au i heluhelu ai i kahi ʻatikala e pili ana i ka ʻoihana waiu. ʻO ka ʻōlelo ʻana ua puʻuhaʻi wau he ʻōlelo haʻahaʻa! Ma koʻu lilo ʻana i mea ʻai meaʻai, ua manaʻo wau e hāʻawi nui ana au i ka pono o nā holoholona. Eia naʻe, ʻo ka heluhelu ʻana i ka ʻatikala ua hoʻomaopopo wau i ka pili pili ʻana o nā ʻoihana ʻiʻo a me nā ʻoihana waiu. Ua wehewehe ʻia ka ʻatikala no ka hana ʻana i ka waiū, hoʻokomo ikaika ʻia ka bipi, a laila lawe ʻia ke keiki bipi mai ona aku, a inā he kāne, hoʻouna ʻia i ka hale pepehi kanaka no ka pono ʻole o ka ʻoihana waiu. I kēlā manawa, ʻike wau ʻo ka veganism wale nō ke koho kūpono.
ʻAe, he lālā wau o ka Hui "Už gyvūnų teisės" (Russian - Association for the Protection of Animal Rights). Ua puni ia no 10 mau makahiki a mahalo i kā lākou pūnaewele, no nā makahiki he nui wale nō ke kumu waiwai ma ke kumuhana, ua hiki i nā poʻe he nui ke aʻo i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo a hoʻomaopopo i ka pilina ma waena o ka ʻeha holoholona a me nā huahana ʻiʻo. Hoʻokomo nui ka hui i nā hana hoʻonaʻauao e pili ana i ke kumuhana o nā pono holoholona a me ka veganism, a hōʻike i kona kūlana ma kēia pilikia ma ka media.
Ma kahi o hoʻokahi makahiki i hala aku nei, ua loaʻa iā mākou ke kūlana kūlana o kahi hui aupuni ʻole. Eia nō naʻe, ke hoʻololi nei mākou, e hoʻoponopono hou ana i kā mākou kaʻina hana a me nā pahuhopu. Ma kahi o 10 poʻe he lālā ikaika, akā hoʻokomo pū mākou i nā mea manawaleʻa e kōkua. No ka mea ʻuʻuku mākou a ua komo nā mea a pau i nā hana ʻē aʻe he nui (ka hana, ke aʻo ʻana, nā neʻe kaiāulu ʻē aʻe), ua "hana nā mea āpau i nā mea āpau." Hoʻokomo nui wau i ka hoʻonohonoho ʻana i nā hanana, ke kākau ʻana i nā ʻatikala no ka pūnaewele a me ka media, aʻo nā poʻe ʻē aʻe ke kuleana no ka hoʻolālā a me ka ʻōlelo lehulehu.
ʻOiaʻiʻo ke piʻi nei ka Vegetarianism, me nā hale ʻaina he nui e hoʻohui i nā koho meaʻai i kā lākou menus. Eia naʻe, ʻoi aku ka paʻakikī o nā vegans. ʻO kēia ma muli o ka hāʻule ʻana o kahi papa inoa nui o nā kīʻaha i ka papa kuhikuhi inā haʻalele ʻia nā hua a me ka waiū. Pono e hoʻomaopopo ʻia ʻaʻole ʻike mau nā hale ʻaina Lithuanian i ka ʻokoʻa ma waena o ka "vegetarianism" a me ka "veganism". Hoʻohui pū ia i ka paʻakikī. ʻO ka nūhou maikaʻi, aia kekahi mau hale ʻai meaʻai meaʻai a me nā meaʻai maka ma Vilnius e hiki ke hāʻawi ʻaʻole wale i nā soup vegan a me nā stews, akā pū kekahi i nā burgers a me nā kīʻaha. I kekahi manawa i hala aku nei, ua wehe mākou i kahi hale kūʻai vegan a me kahi e-shop pūnaewele no ka manawa mua.
He poʻe akamai loa ka poʻe Lithuania. Ma ke ʻano he lāhui, ua nui nā mea i loaʻa iā mākou. Ke manaʻoʻiʻo nei au ʻo ka lanakila ʻana i nā pilikia e pono ai ka noʻonoʻo ʻana a inā ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke loaʻa wale i kekahi mea, pono ʻoe e hoʻokalakupua a noʻonoʻo. He nui ka poʻe ʻōpio, ʻo ia hoʻi ma waena o kaʻu mau hoa, ʻike i ka humuhumu a me ka humuhumu, hana i ka jam, a me ka hana hale! A he mea maʻamau ia ʻaʻole mākou mahalo. Ma ke ala, ʻo kahi hiʻohiʻona ʻē aʻe o Lithuanians ka pessimism e pili ana i kēia manawa.
He ʻano nani loa ko Lithuania. Makemake au e hoʻolimalima manawa ma ka loko a i ʻole ma ka ululāʻau, kahi aʻu e hoʻoikaika ai. Inā koho ʻoe i kahi wahi, a laila ʻo Trakai paha kēia - kahi kūlanakauhale liʻiliʻi ʻaʻole mamao loa mai Vilnius, i hoʻopuni ʻia e nā loko. ʻO ka mea wale nō: ʻaʻole loaʻa ka meaʻai vegan ma laila!
Makemake au e kipa ʻaʻole wale ʻo Vilnius. Nui nā kūlanakauhale hoihoi ma Lithuania a, e like me kaʻu i ʻōlelo ai ma luna, ʻo ke ʻano nani loa. Pono nā mākaʻikaʻi Vegan e mākaukau no ka ʻoiaʻiʻo ʻaʻole e loaʻa ka meaʻai kūpono iā lākou ma kēlā me kēia kihi. I loko o kahi cafe a hale ʻaina paha, kūpono ke nīnau meticulous e pili ana i nā mea ʻai o kahi kīʻaha kūikawā e hōʻoia ai he vegan maoli lākou.
Aloha nui au i ka ʻuala, a pōmaikaʻi, nui nā kīʻaha ma ʻaneʻi i hana ʻia mai ka ʻuala. ʻO Kugelis paha ka meaʻai punahele loa, he pudding i hana ʻia mai ka ʻuala ʻuala. ʻO nā mea a pau āu e makemake ai he mau ʻuala ʻuala, 2-3 aniani, kahi ʻaila, paʻakai, pepa, kumu kumu kumini a me nā mea ʻala e ʻono ai. Peel i ka ʻuala a me nā aniani, hoʻohui i ka mea hana a lawe mai i kahi kūlana puree (hoʻokomo mākou i ka ʻuala, ʻaʻole i hoʻolapalapa ʻia). E hoʻonui i nā meaʻala a me kaʻaila i ka puree, e hoʻololi i kahi pā. E uhi me ka foil, e kau i ka umu ma 175C. Ma muli o ka umu, ʻo ka hoʻomākaukau ʻana he 45-120 mau minuke. E lawelawe maikaʻi iā Kugelis me kekahi ʻano kīʻaha!
