Magwero a omnivores sakhala mu ulimi wokha, komanso mu mtima ndi moyo wa chidziwitso cha America. Matenda ambiri omwe amakhudza chikhalidwe chamakono amagwirizana ndi zakudya zamakampani. Monga mmene mtolankhani wina dzina lake Michael Pollan ananenera, “Aka n’koyamba m’mbiri ya anthu kuti anthu akhale onenepa komanso akusowa zakudya m’thupi.”
Mukaganizira za izi, zakudya zamasamba ndi njira yabwino kwambiri yothetsera vuto lazakudya ku America. Mndandanda womwe uli pansipa uli ndi zifukwa zisanu zopangira vegan.
1. Odya zamasamba sangadwale matenda a mtima. Matenda a mtima ndi omwe amachititsa imfa ku US. Pakafukufuku wofalitsidwa ndi Harvard Health Publications, matenda a mtima angapewedwe ndi zakudya zamasamba, zipatso, ndi mtedza. Pafupifupi anthu 76000 adatenga nawo gawo pa kafukufukuyu. Kwa odyetsera zamasamba, chiopsezo cha matenda a mtima poyerekeza ndi ena omwe anali nawo chinali 25 peresenti yochepa.
2. Odya zamasamba nthawi zambiri amapewa mankhwala owopsa omwe chakudya chathu chimakhala chochuluka. Chakudya chambiri m'masitolo akuluakulu chimakhala ndi mankhwala ophera tizilombo. Anthu ambiri amaganiza kuti ndiwo zamasamba ndi zipatso zili ndi mankhwala ambiri ophera tizilombo, koma izi si zoona. Malinga ndi ziwerengero za bungwe la Environmental Protection Agency, 95 peresenti ya mankhwala ophera tizilombo amapezeka mu nyama ndi mkaka. Kafukufukuyu anapezanso kuti mankhwala ophera tizilombo n’ngogwirizana kwambiri ndi mavuto ambiri a thanzi, monga kubadwa ndi zilema, khansa, ndiponso kuwonongeka kwa mitsempha.
3. Kukhala wosadya masamba ndikwabwino pamakhalidwe. Nyama yambiri imachokera ku nyama zophedwa m’minda ya mafakitale. Kuchitira nkhanza nyama ndi mlandu. Omenyera ufulu wa zinyama ajambula pavidiyo nkhani za nkhanza za ziweto m'mafamu a fakitale.
Makanema akuwonetsa kusungitsa milomo ya nkhuku, kugwiritsa ntchito ana a nkhumba ngati mipira, zithupsa pamapazi a akavalo. Komabe, simukuyenera kukhala womenyera ufulu wa zinyama kuti mumvetsetse kuti nkhanza za nyama ndizolakwika. Nkhanza za amphaka ndi agalu zimakumana ndi mkwiyo kwa anthu, ndiye bwanji nkhumba, nkhuku ndi ng'ombe, ndani angavutike mofanana?
4. Zakudya zamasamba ndi zabwino kwa chilengedwe. Mipweya yoopsa yotulutsidwa m’galimoto imatengedwa kuti ndi imene imachititsa kuti dziko litenthe. Komabe, mpweya wotenthetsa dziko umene umatulutsa m’mafamu umaposa mipweya yotulutsidwa ndi makina onse padziko lapansi. Izi zimachitika makamaka chifukwa minda ya mafakitale imatulutsa matani 2 biliyoni a manyowa chaka chilichonse. Zinyalala zimatayidwa m'madzi otayira. Sumps amakonda kutayikira ndikuwononga madzi abwino ndi mpweya m'deralo. Ndipo izi sizikunena za methane yomwe ng'ombe zimatulutsa ndipo ndizomwe zimayambitsa kutentha kwa dziko.
5. Zakudya zopanda nyama zimakuthandizani kuti muziwoneka wachinyamata. Kodi mwamvapo za Mimi Kirk? Mimi Kirk adapambana Sexiest Vegetarian Over 50. Ngakhale Mimi wadutsa zaka makumi asanu ndi awiri, akhoza kulakwitsa mosavuta makumi anayi. Kirk akuti unyamata wake ndi wosadya zamasamba. Ngakhale posachedwapa adasinthira ku zakudya zamasamba zosaphika. Palibe chifukwa chotchulira zomwe Mimi amakonda kuti awonetse kuti zamasamba zimathandizira kukhalabe wachinyamata.
Zakudya zamasamba zimakhala zodzaza ndi mavitamini ndi mchere zomwe zimakuthandizani kuti mukhale achichepere. Kuonjezera apo, zakudya zamasamba ndi njira yabwino kwambiri yotsutsana ndi makwinya kirimu, yomwe ili ndi mbiri yomvetsa chisoni yoyesera nyama.
Zamasamba ndi amodzi mwa zilembo zambiri. Kuwonjezera pa kukhala wosadya masamba, munthu angadzione ngati womenyera ufulu wa zinyama, wosamalira chilengedwe, wosamala za thanzi, ndi wachinyamata. Mwachidule, ndife zomwe timadya.
