I-Vegetarianism ikhona iminyaka eyizinkulungwane ezimbalwa. Abantu abaningi ezikhathini zasendulo babambelela kulokhu kudla ngesisekelo semibono ehlukahlukene yenkolo. I-Vegetarianism yayithandwa kakhulu emazweni amaningi aseWestern Europe engxenyeni yokuqala yekhulu lesishiyagalolunye. Kwakuyizikhathi lapho imiphakathi ehlukahlukene yavela futhi yaqala umsebenzi okhuthele ukukhuthaza lolu hlelo lokudla okunomsoco. ERussia, imifino yemifino yaqala ukusakazeka kusukela engxenyeni yesibili yekhulu leshumi nesishiyagalolunye, ikakhulukazi phakathi kwamalungu e-intelligentsia nabalandeli bamahlelo ahlukene.
Uyini umehluko phakathi kwezinkomba ezikhona zemifino?
Izitha zokudla zemifino zingahlukaniswa ngamaqembu amaningana. Okuthiwa ama-Old Vegetarians abavumeli ukusetshenziswa kwanoma yimiphi imikhiqizo yemvelaphi yezilwane ngaphansi kwanoma yimiphi imibandela. Elinye iqembu, elibizwa ngokuthi i-Young Vegetarians, wenqaba ukwamukela imikhiqizo yenyama, kodwa livumela ukufakwa kwemikhiqizo yobisi kanye namaqanda ekudleni kwabo. Olunye uhlobo lwezitshalo zemvelo lukhuthaza ukudla kuphela imikhiqizo yezitshalo kanye kuphela kwifomu eluhlaza. Iphuzu elivamile kuzo zonke izinhlobonhlobo zalesi simiso sokudla ukwenqaba ukungena ekudleni kokudla okutholakala ekubulaleni izilwane, kungaba izinkomo, izinkukhu noma inhlanzi.
Yini, ngokubona kwezitshalo zemifino, ukudla okunomungozi kwemikhiqizo yenyama?
Ngokusho komqondo oyinhloko wemifino yemifino, isakhiwo kanye nokuzikhethela kokusebenza kwezinhlaka zesimiso sokugaya umuntu akuhambisani nokudla kokuvela emfuyweni. Ngakho-ke, lapho bedla inyama, kuthiwa ukuthi ukulimala empilweni yabantu kubangelwa ukwakheka kwezinto ezinobuthi emzimbeni, okuyingozi kumaseli omzimba futhi kubangele ubuthi obungapheli.
Iyini ingozi yemifino yemvelo kusukela ekubukeni kwesayensi yanamuhla?
Ososayensi-izakhamuzi zincoma ukuthi zibandakanye emikhiqizweni yokudla yezimfuyo. Iqiniso liwukuthi amaprotheni enyama yezilwane aqukethe amino acid amqoka, okuqala okuvela kwamanye amino acid emzimbeni womuntu akunakwenzeka. Ukungabi khona kwama-amino acid abalulekile ekudleni kwemifino kuyingozi kakhulu, ngoba kulokhu ukuhlanganiswa kwamaprotheni amaningi omzimba womuntu kuphazanyiswa, futhi lokhu sekuholela ekukhuleni kwezifo ezihlukahlukene, ukuphazanyiswa kwezinqubo zokukhula nentuthuko.
Umuthi osemthethweni uncoma ukudla kwemifino kuphela njengokudla okwesikhashana kanye nezifo ezithile ezithile (isifo sokuqina kwesifo somzimba, isifo somfutho wegazi ophezulu, isifo sezinso kanye nomgudu wamathumbu). Emkhakheni wezokwelapha, ukudla okunomsoco kusetshenziselwa okuthiwa "ukulayishwa kwezinsuku", lapho iziguli zikhuthazwa ukuba zisebenzise imifino noma izithelo kuphela.
Ngakho, imifino yemvelo ingalimaza impilo yabantu. Ukukhipha inyama nemikhiqizo yenyama ekudleni kuyingozi kakhulu ngesikhathi sokukhula nentuthuko, kanye nokwenyuka komzimba okwandisiwe. I-Vegetarianism isetshenziswa ngokufanele nje njengokudla okwesikhashana lapho kunezifo ezithile.
