Ua hoʻomau wau i ka haʻi hou ʻana iaʻu iho i ke kāne ma hope o ka pā. Ua hala ka ʻala o nā ʻeke hou a me nā salemona nova i mua oʻu, ʻo ka ʻimi "he vegan bagel?" wehe ʻia ma ka polokalamu kele pūnaewele ma koʻu lima ʻākau. Hoʻopilikia ʻia māua. "Ke tī waiū holika. Loaʻa iā ʻoe ka tī kirīmi tofu?" Ma ka nīnau ʻelima, ua ʻike paha ʻo ia i ka mea aʻu e loaʻa nei, huli aʻe, a hoʻomaka e hoʻolei i kahi multigrain mehana i loko o ka mea lawe lole. Hele wau i mua i ka mea lawe kālā, a ʻōlelo hou iaʻu no ke ono o ka manawa. "ʻAʻohe kā mākou tofu cream cheese," i ʻōlelo ai ʻo ia me ka pīhoihoi. "ʻAe, ʻaʻole hiki iaʻu ke lawe i kēia no ka mea vegan wau!" Ua hele wau i waho i ka wā aʻu e hāʻawi aku nei iā ia i kaʻu kāleka hōʻaiʻē, uku no ke kofe ʻeleʻele, huli a huli i koʻu ʻōpū e holoholo ana ma ke kaʻaahi.

ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻole wau he vegan maoli. Akā i kekahi mau pule i hala aku nei ua lohe wau e pili ana He aha ke olakino, he palapala hōʻike e ʻōlelo ana hoʻokahi wale nō ala e ʻai ai i ke olakino, ʻo ia ka pale ʻana i nā huahana holoholona a pau-me ka ʻiʻo, ka iʻa, ka moa, a me ka waiu. Wahi a ka codirector o ke kiʻi (a me ka hōkū), ʻo Kip Andersen, eia nā mea e momona ai mākou a hāʻawi iā mākou i ka maʻi ʻaʻai a me ka maʻi kō. ʻOiai ua hoʻokumu kēia moʻolelo i nā hoʻopaʻapaʻa (ʻoi aku ma hope o kēlā), ua hiki mai ka nīnau i ka naʻau: Ua hiki iaʻu ke lilo i vegan? He ʻokoʻa paha koʻu manaʻo inā haʻalele au i nā huahana holoholona mai kaʻu ʻai? ʻOiai hiki ke paʻakikī ke kiʻi iā B12, calcium, hao, a me zinc mai ka papaʻai vegan, ua makemake wau e hana i ka hana keu (a hoʻolei i kahi multivitamin i loko o ka hui) e hāʻawi iā ia i kahi puahiohio. (Psst...e pale i kēia mau hewa meaʻai maʻamau a nā vegans.)

ʻOiai ʻo kēia hōʻalo ʻana i nā huahana holoholona āpau e like me kaʻu mana ponoʻī o gehena, ua kū wau no ka pilikia. No hoʻokahi pule, ʻai wau i ka papa ʻai vegan paʻa loa. ʻAʻohe tī. ʻAʻohe ʻiʻo. Ditch i nā hua. Kope ʻeleʻele. ʻAʻohe hopu. Eia nā haʻawina nui aʻu i aʻo ai:

1. Nui nā mea ʻaʻole hiki i nā vegan ke ʻai. Ua maopopo iaʻu ke komo ʻana i loko, akā ke kanaka. KANAKA. ʻO ka ʻaina kakahiaka kekahi o nā lima paʻakikī a paʻakikī loa. ʻO ka hoʻopau ʻana i nā hua mai kaʻu papaʻai, ʻo ia ka hoʻopau ʻana i kekahi o kaʻu mau mea kakahiaka nui: kahi scramble i hoʻokau ʻia me nā mea kanu i kālua ʻia. Ua hānai ʻia au e noʻonoʻo ʻo nā hua he kumu kupanaha o ka protein, waiwai i ka lutein maikaʻi no kou mau maka a me ka zeaxanthin a me ka choline, maikaʻi no ka lolo a me nā aʻalolo. ʻO ka mea laki, loaʻa iaʻu ka manawa e hana ai i ka oatmeal a i ʻole kaʻu go-to smoothie. Ua noʻonoʻo wau: inā wau ʻaʻole loaʻa ka manawa, ʻoi aku ka palena o kaʻu mau koho no ka grab-and-go. ʻAʻole ʻoki kahi ʻāpana o ka hua, a ʻaʻole wau makemake i nā ʻeke (hello, carbs) ma ka maʻamau.

I koʻu lā hope a hope loa, ua kono mai kahi ipo iaʻu e hele i ka ʻaina awakea a ua paipai wau e hana kope mākou ma kahi o ka mea ʻaʻole wau e maopopo pehea e hoʻokele ai i kahi pāʻina vegan āpau ke ʻole wau i kahi hale ʻaina vegan palekana, e like me ka nui o nā mea maʻamau. (nā kīʻaha hua manu, pancakes, French toast) nā palena palena ʻole. ʻO ka ʻaina awakea a me ka ʻaina ahiahi he moʻolelo ʻē aʻe. ʻIke wau he maʻalahi kaʻu ʻai awakea e tweak i vegan: kahi salakeke o kekahi ʻano, kāpī ʻia me ka quinoa, kōmato, kukama, mau pi ʻeleʻele, a ma kahi o ka moa-kahi ʻano ʻiʻo. E hele mai i ka manawa ʻaina awakea, he wahi hou aʻe kaʻu e hanu a hana hana ai. I ka lā ʻelima, hana wau i ka "ʻiʻo ʻiʻo" ʻoi loa ʻole i ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka tofu crumbled a me Beyond Meat piha i nā burger, kahi e hiki ai ke hoʻopunipuni i ka mea ʻai a makemake wau e haʻaheo i koʻu tūtū wahine ʻItalia, me ka pālua ʻana me ka pasta kīpī ʻo Banza (ʻo ia hoʻi, yum ).

2. Holy WOW he nui nā mea ʻai ʻai meaʻai vegan-friendly. Me ka kānalua ʻole, ʻo nā huahana Beyond Meat kaʻu ʻike maikaʻi loa mai kaʻu pule ʻai vegan. (ʻO lākou ka mea ʻoi loa e hiki i nā vegans.) Me 20 gram o ka pī protein a me 22 mau momona o ka momona, e hoʻopihapiha ana a maoli nō. nana aku e like me ka patty homemade mānoanoa. He peahi o wau i ka manawa mau, ʻo ia hoʻi ka hoʻohui ʻana i nā saladi a ʻoluʻolu nā mea iaʻu. ʻO ka pilikia me ka tofu, ma ka liʻiliʻi loa iaʻu, ʻo ka lōʻihi o ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻia ʻana a i ʻole ke ʻano o ka ʻono, paʻakikī ke loaʻa i kēlā ʻono. hele a puni kahi ʻāpana holoʻokoʻa mai kahi poloka maʻamau. I ka lā ʻekolu, ua hoʻāʻo au i ka sriracha tofu mai Trader Joe's, a he ʻono maikaʻi kona-akā, he wahi ʻono. Eia kekahi, nā mea kōkua no kā Chader soy soch Trader. Ua like kona ʻono me ka seitan e hoʻopiha ana i kaʻu salakeke quinoa taco punahele ma CHLOE. ʻO kaʻu hana hoʻoponopono no ke kūlana tofu bland i kekahi manawa? E wawahi ia. Hiki ke maʻalahi me kekahi mea (ua hoʻohui au i ka tofu i nā hua manu no nā makahiki) me ka hoʻololi ʻole i ka ʻono, ʻoiai ʻoe e paʻi maloʻo ma mua o ka hoʻomākaukau ʻana. (E hoʻāʻo i kēia pola quinoa tofu spicy.)

3. NUI LOA ka mana'o o ka po'e e pili ana i ka 'ai mea'ai. Aia ma kahi o 5,000 mau mea ukali ma Instagram. Ma ke ʻano he hoʻomaʻamaʻa hōʻoia, kahu holo, a me kumu aʻo Spin, ke launa mau nei wau me nā malihini āpau e pili ana i kaʻu ʻano, pane i nā nīnau olakino a olakino. I kēia pule, ke hōʻike nei i nā ʻāpana like ʻole o kaʻu huakaʻi vegan i kaʻu moʻolelo Instagram me ka kānalua ʻole, nā DM nui loa i loaʻa iaʻu. E like me aʻu, ua pīhoihoi ka poʻe ma nā wahi āpau i nā chy soya a me nā burger Beyond Meat. ʻO kēlā me kēia meaʻai meaʻai aʻu i kau ai i hoʻonā i kahi ʻano pane. ʻOiai kekahi o nā DM-er i hoʻouna mai iaʻu i nā meaʻai e hoʻopiha ai i ka mea i loaʻa ma kaʻu papa kuhikuhi (e like me ke kapa faux-Caesar no kēlā mau salakea awakea), ʻo nā mea ʻē aʻe āpau e ʻai wale no e hoʻohui i kaʻu hana maʻamau (cauliflower "raiki palai") a me ka polokalamu vegan hoʻi. manaʻo-a mākou e kiʻi koke ai.

4. E ai iwaho ; loa paʻakikī. Noho wau i ke kūlanakauhale kahi i loaʻa i nā kānaka a pau kekahi ʻano meaʻai. Ua aʻo koke wau ʻoiai hiki i ka nui o nā hale ʻaina ke haʻi iā ʻoe i nā koho meaʻai meaʻai i loaʻa iā lākou, ʻo ka vegan kahi pāʻani pila ʻē aʻe. ʻAʻole hiki i kekahi mau wahi ke ʻike maopopo i nā kīʻaha i loko o ke aniani, a ua hōʻoia ʻia nā mea ʻē aʻe ua palekana nā mea papa inoa i koʻu kānalua ʻana (ʻo ka hapa nui o nā mea āpau i kuke ʻia i ka pata i kēia mau lā). I ka lā ʻelima, ua kī wau i kahi kī ʻo Jell-O me kuʻu ipo ma mua o ka ʻaina ahiahi (no ka mea he lā maʻamau kēlā ma New York City) ʻo ka Meatball Shop, no ka nīnau koke ʻana iho i ka palu ʻana i ka maikaʻi o ka cosmo-flavored mai koʻu lehelehe: "Kali, ʻo ia ka vegan?" ʻAʻole ia. He mea kēia e lilo i mea ʻoi aku ka lua me ka manawa, maopopo iaʻu.

5. paʻakikī ka hale kūʻai kūʻai. ʻOi loa inā ke hoʻāʻo nei ʻoe e hana ma kahi hale kūʻai maʻamau. ʻO nā Mea ʻAi holoʻokoʻa, kahi e holoholo pinepine ai ka poʻe vegans, maliʻa ʻia paha e nā mea hoʻohana, piha pū me nā huahana i kapa ʻia ʻo "V" no "vegan" i lawe ʻole ʻia e kaʻu hale kūʻai ʻo C-Town. ʻOiai wau e ʻai maʻamau i kahi papaʻai momona i nā huaʻai i nā mea kanu, ʻaʻole wau i ʻike pono i ka mea e nānā ai i kahi mea e like me kahi ʻōmole ketchup. Laki noʻu (a ʻo ʻoe pū kekahi) aia kahi polokalamu no kēlā. ʻO Vegan anei? ʻae i nā mea hoʻohana e nānā i nā pāʻālua UPC e ʻike ai inā ʻoluʻolu lākou i ka vegan. Me he mea lā ʻaʻole wau i pīhoihoi i kaʻu iPhone 7+, hoʻopili kēia polokalamu iā ia i koʻu lima ma nā ʻaoʻao kūʻai. ʻO kēia kekahi mea, ke ʻike pono wau e maʻalahi loa ana me ka manawa.

No laila e hoʻomau wau i ka Veganism?

E like me kāu i ʻike ai, ua paheʻe au i kekahi mau manawa. Ke nānā nei wau iā ia, e ʻōlelo wau ua hana wau i koʻu hebedoma ma kahi o 95 pakeneka o ka helu o ke kūleʻa ʻana i ka papaʻai vegan. Lana koʻu manaʻo e like wau me ka nui o ka ikehu a like paha me ka palahalaha o koʻu ʻōpū i ka hopena o kaʻu kau. ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo ʻoiai ua ʻike wau i ka ikaika nui i ke kakahiaka o ka lā ʻekolu, ʻaʻole wau i ʻike i nā loli nui a kiʻekiʻe paha i koʻu ʻano. Aia kekahi mau lā ua ʻoi aku koʻu pōloli ma mua o ka maʻamau ma hope koke o ka ʻai ʻana, a lilo ia i mea hoʻonāukiuki. Manaʻo wau e loli me ka manawa ke aʻo wau i ka mea e hoʻohui i kaʻu mau meaʻai e hoʻonui ai lākou a ma ka "OK" ʻāpana.

E haʻi ʻia ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, manaʻo wau ʻaʻole hiki iaʻu ke pili i ka ʻai vegan holoʻokoʻa. ʻAʻole wau makemake loa. Ua hala wau i ka iʻa, a ua hala wau i mau hua (steak, turkey ground, moa-ʻaʻole nui). Ua nānā hope au He aha ke olakino i ka pō Pōʻalima riveting i, a ua lulu ʻia kahi keiki. ʻOiai he nui nā ʻatikala e hakakā nei i ka pono o ke kiʻiʻoniʻoni, ʻo ka hele ʻana i ka vegan no hoʻokahi pule ua makemake wau e hoʻohui i nā meaʻai vegan-friendly ʻē aʻe. I loko o ko mākou kaiaulu kahi kokoke i ʻekolu hapahā o nā ʻAmelika ʻaʻole hiki ke ʻai i ka nui o ka hua a he 87 pakeneka ʻaʻole i ʻai i nā mea kanu, ʻoi aku ka nui o koʻu manaʻo i ka hoʻohui ʻana i kaʻu meaʻai ma mua o ka lawe ʻana. hele aku nā koho olakino ʻē aʻe e like me yogurt a me nā hua. E pili ana i ka ʻimi ʻana i kahi kaulike e kūpono iā ʻoe, a noʻu, ʻo ia kaulike e pili ana i kahi mea liʻiliʻi o nā mea āpau - inā he "V" ma ka lepili.
