Vegetarianism ndi veganism amafuna kukhala ndi moyo wabwino. Ndi zovuta ndi zodabwitsa ziti zomwe zikutiyembekezera m'njira? Leo Hickman, mtolankhani wa nyuzipepala yaikulu ya ku Britain The Guardian, anakhala chaka chathunthu akukhala ndi banja lake mwamakhalidwe monga momwe angathere, osati ponena za zakudya, koma pa mfundo zitatu nthawi imodzi: chakudya, zotsatira za moyo pa chilengedwe ndi kudalira mega-makampani.
Kuyeseraku kunalonjeza kukhala kosangalatsa kwambiri, popeza Leo ali ndi mkazi ndi ana atatu azaka zakusukulu - onse adachita mantha ndikusangalatsidwa ndi kuyesa komwe abambo abanjako adasainira (ndipo Willy-nilly adatenga nawo gawo) !
Titha kunena nthawi yomweyo kuti Leo adatha kuzindikira zolinga zake, ngakhale, ndithudi, palibe chizindikiro china cha "kupambana" kapena "kulephera", chifukwa, makamaka, palibe makhalidwe ambiri pa moyo! Chachikulu ndichakuti kuyang'ana m'mbuyo pa chaka cha kuyesera, Leo sanong'oneza bondo kalikonse - ndipo pamlingo wina adakwanitsa kusungabe muyezo, njira ya moyo yomwe adatengera cholinga cha phunziroli, nthawi yoyeserera.
M'chaka cha "makhalidwe abwino", Leo analemba buku lakuti "Naked Life", lingaliro lalikulu la zomwe ndi zodabwitsa kuti ngakhale mwayi wokhala ndi moyo wabwino ulipo, ndipo zonse zomwe timafunikira zili bwino pansi pa mphuno zathu, komabe. ambiri amasankha moyo wosagwirizana ndi makhalidwe abwino, chifukwa cha ulesi wawo ndi ulesi. Nthawi yomweyo, Leo akuwona kuti m'zaka zaposachedwa, anthu akhala akuyang'ana kwambiri kukonzanso zinthu, zakudya zamasamba zambiri zapezeka, ndipo zinthu zina zofunika pazakudya zamasamba (mwachitsanzo, kupeza "mabasiketi a alimi" mlungu ndi mlungu) zakhala zosavuta. kuthana nazo.
Chifukwa chake, Leo atakumana ndi ntchito yoti ayambe kudya moyenera, amakhala ndi vuto locheperako ku biosphere, ndipo, ngati n'kotheka, tulukani pansi pa "kapu" yamakampani akuluakulu ndi maunyolo ogulitsa. Moyo wa Leo ndi banja lake unawonedwa ndi akatswiri atatu odziimira okha zachilengedwe ndi zakudya, omwe adawona kupambana kwake ndi zolephera zake, komanso analangiza banja lonse pazovuta kwambiri.
Vuto loyamba la Leo linali loti ayambe kudya m'njira yosamalira zachilengedwe, kuphatikizapo kugula zakudya zomwe sizimanyamula katundu wambiri. Kwa omwe sakudziwa, mawu oti "product mile" amatanthauza kuchuluka kwa mailosi (kapena makilomita) zomwe chinthu chinayenda kuchokera kumunda wa wolima kupita kunyumba kwanu. Izi, choyamba, zikutanthauza kuti kwambiri makhalidwe masamba kapena zipatso wakula pafupi ndi nyumba yanu, ndipo ndithudi m'dziko lanu, osati kwinakwake Spain kapena Greece, chifukwa. kunyamula chakudya kumatanthauza kuti mpweya umalowa mumlengalenga.
Leo adapeza kuti ngati agula chakudya ku sitolo yapafupi, ndizovuta kwambiri kuchepetsa kugwiritsa ntchito kusungirako chakudya, kutaya chakudya, ndikuchotsa zakudya zomwe zimabzalidwa ndi mankhwala ophera tizilombo, ndipo kawirikawiri, masitolo akuluakulu samalola chitukuko cha malonda a minda yaing'ono. Leo adatha kuthetsa mavutowa poyitanitsa kuti abweretse masamba ndi zipatso zapamunda pakanthawi kunyumba. Choncho, banja linatha kudziyimira pawokha kuchokera ku sitolo, kuchepetsa kugwiritsa ntchito chakudya (zonse zimakutidwa mu cellophane kangapo m'masitolo akuluakulu!), Yambani kudya nyengo ndikuthandizira alimi am'deralo.
Ndi zoyendera zachilengedwe, banja la a Hickman linalinso ndi nthawi yovuta. Kumayambiriro kwa kuyesako, iwo ankakhala ku London, ndipo ankayenda pa chubu, basi, sitima, ndi njinga. Koma atasamukira ku Cornwall (omwe malo ake sakonda kupalasa njinga), willy-nilly, adayenera kugula galimoto. Pambuyo pokambirana kwambiri, banjali linasankha njira yabwino kwambiri yosamalira zachilengedwe (poyerekeza ndi mafuta ndi dizilo) - galimoto yokhala ndi injini yothamanga pa gasi wamafuta amafuta.
Atakambirana ndi mabanja ena akhalidwe labwino, adapeza galimoto yamagetsi yokwera mtengo kwambiri komanso yovuta. Leo amakhulupirira kuti galimoto gasi ndi zothandiza kwambiri, ndalama komanso nthawi yomweyo amtengo chilengedwe wochezeka njira zoyendera m'mizinda ndi kumidzi.
Ponena za ndalama, ataŵerengera ndalama zake kumapeto kwa chaka, Leo anayerekezera kuti anawononga pafupifupi ndalama zomwezo pa moyo wamba, osati “woyesera,” koma zowonongerazo zinagawidwa mosiyana. Chowonongera chachikulu chinali kugula mabasiketi azakudya zapafamu (pomwe kudya masamba ndi zipatso za "pulasitiki" m'sitolo ndizotsika mtengo kwambiri), ndipo ndalama zazikulu zomwe adasunga zinali zogwiritsa ntchito matewera m'malo mogwiritsa ntchito matewera otayira kwa mwana wamng'ono kwambiri.
