Kutshanje INew York Times Isiqwenga siqaqambisa ukuthandwa okwandayo kweentsapho ezikhulisa abantwana bazo kwizidlo eziluhlaza okanye ezityiweyo. Phezulu, oku kusenokungabonakali njengento eninzi ukubhala ngayo; emva koko, lo ngu-2014: Yintoni i-veganism encinci xa ithelekiswa ne-paleo yokutya, i-gluten-free craze, i-low-sugar trend, okanye i-fat-fat-low-fat or low-carb diet? Sekunjalo, isiqwenga siphakamisa umbuzo ogcweleyo: Ngaba ufanele ukhulise abantwana bakho kwi-vegan ngokupheleleyo okanye ukutya okukrwada?

Kwiminyaka engama-20 eyadlulayo, impendulo isenokuba yayinguhayi. Namhlanje impendulo ayilula kangako. U-Emily Kane, ugqirha wase-Alaska wase-naturopathic, ubhala Isondlo esiNgcono ukuba abantwana banamhlanje "bathwele umthwalo omkhulu weekhemikhali kunokuba bebeza kwenza kwiminyaka eli-100 eyadlulayo," ngoko ke iimpawu zetyhefu-ezinjengeentloko, ukuqhinwa, irhashalala, iintsini ezophayo, iB.O., kunye nokuphefumla nzima okanye ukugxila- ziyanda ebantwaneni. Esinye isibini esicatshulwe kwi Amaxesha uthi ngaphambi kokuba babe nabantwana, bobabini baba ngamakhoboka okutya okungenamsoco, iilekese, iipastry, nokutya okuqhotsiweyo okunamafutha,” ngoko babeka umntwana wabo ekutyeni okukrwada ukuze bamsindise kwakwimeko efanayo.

Itshantliziyo, umbhali, kunye nengcali ye-yoga uRainbeau Mars uyavuma, yiyo loo nto ekhuthaza iintsapho zonke ukuba ziphile ngendlela ye-vegan ukunceda abantu abancinci ukuba bafumane ezinye iindlela ezinempilo "kwiziyobisi" abazithandayo.

Kubaluleke kakhulu ukuba abantwana batye ngokwaneleyo izakhamzimba, iivithamini, kunye neeminerali, kodwa kwenzeka ntoni rhoqo ngefilosofi eqhelekileyo kukuba sicinga ukuba abantwana bayazuza ngokutya isonka esimhlophe kunye neemveliso zezilwanyana ezigcwele initrate, utshilo. "Siyalibala ukuba abantwana bayayithanda imifuno, ngakumbi ukuba bayazibandakanya kwinkqubo yokupheka." UMars uthi ukutya kwakhe "sisithintelo se-zero-khalori" (cofa apha kwimenyu yesampulu) ejolise kwifayibha ephezulu, ukutya okusekwe kwizityalo, kugxininiswa ekukhuthazeni abantwana ukuba batye "kumbala ngamnye womnyama" ukuya Qinisekisa ukuba bayazifezekisa zonke iimfuno zabo zesondlo.

Zonke ezi zivakala zilungile kwithiyori. Kodwa iimfuno zokutya zabantwana ziyahluka kubantu abadala, kwaye amaxesha amaninzi abantwana baba "yimifuno yokutya engeyiyo imifuno," utshilo uCaroline Cederquist, MD, umlawuli wezonyango kwi-bistroMD. Ukutya okunee-vegan ezigcwele iinkozo, isonka esimhlophe, kunye neziqhamo akunampilo kanye njenge-Standard American Diet, kwaye ezinye iingcali zithi uninzi lwabantwana ababonayo kwezi zidlo banesifo segazi kwaye banesisindo esiphantsi.

Ngaphezu koko, kukho iimpembelelo zentlalo ekufuneka ziqwalaselwe. Nditsho neentsapho ezitye ekrwada okanye i-vegan iminyaka zifumanisa ukuba zinengxaki yokuhamba kwiimeko zentlalo ngaphandle kwendlu. Umhlali waseCalifornia uJinjee Talifero-oqhuba inkampani yokutya okukrwada-uxelele Amaxesha ukuba nangona wayekade ekrwada iminyaka engama-20 kwaye enethemba lokukhulisa abantwana bakhe ngendlela efanayo, wabaleka wajongana neengxaki ezininzi zokuba "ikheswa ekuhlaleni, ikheswa, kwaye ishiywe nje ngaphandle."

Ukutya okungqongqo kulungile, ngokungqongqo, kodwa ukubeka umntwana wakho kwi-vegan okanye ukutya okuluhlaza unako yenziwe ngendlela esempilweni, ukuba nje unesimo sengqondo esifanelekileyo, utsho uDawn Jackson Blatner, u-RDN, umbhali Ukutya okuFlexitarian. Umzekelo, ukuthatha amanyathelo ambalwa ukuqinisekisa ukuba umntwana wakho usaziva eqhagamshelwe kwinethiwekhi yakhe yokuncokola-njengokubuza ukuba ungazizisa na iikeyiki zevegan kwitheko lokuzalwa ukuze angashiywa ngaphandle kulonwabo-kwaye ayile incoko malunga nokutya okujikelezayo. iindlela ezimnandi nezinempilo onokuthi uzilungiselele ukutya onokuthi utye, kunokuba ugxininise ekutyeni "okubi" ongenakukutya, konke kunokuhamba indlela ende ekuncedeni abantwana bakho bahlakulele ubudlelwane obunempilo kunye nokutya. "Kwaye xa bekhula, kufuneka kubekho ukungafihli kunye nentlonipho ukuba abantwana bakho abafuni ukutya ngale ndlela ngaphandle kwendlu," utshilo uJackson Blatner. "Kumele ukuba yinxalenye yencoko."

UCederquist ucebisa ukuba abantwana bakho babandakanyeke ekulungiseleleni ukutya kangangoko kunokwenzeka. "Njengabazali, siyakuthenga ukutya kwaye silungise ukutya," utshilo. "Sonke sabelana okanye sidlulisa amaxabiso ethu kunye nemicimbi ngokutya nabantwana bethu. Ukuba ukutya kukutya kunye nokukhuthaza ubomi kunye nokukhuthaza impilo, siza kunika izinto ezifanelekileyo."

Kwelakhe icala, uMars wanyanzelisa ukuba inkqubo yakhe yokutya iyimfuneko. "Ndinqwenela ukuba isinye kwisithathu sabantu bethu singatyebanga," utshilo. "Ndinqwenela ukuba sasingenabo abantu abadala abancinci kwi-antidepressants okanye i-Ritalin, kunye nesidingo sonyango lwe-acne enkulu yolutsha, i-allergies, i-ADD, isifo seswekile, kunye nezinye izifo ezinxulumene nokutya. isifo' saqala kunye nendlela esinokubuyela ngayo kwimvelaphi yokufumana ukutya kwethu emhlabeni, kunemizi-mveliso egcina imichiza."

Ukuba intetho yakudala ethi "Uyiloo nto uyidlayo" iyinyani, uMars uthi lo gama siqhubeka sigxile ekutyeni "okugcadiweyo, okufileyo, okusekwe kwibhiya, kunye nokuxhatshazwa," yindlela esiya kuziva ngayo (ivakala kamnandi. , kunene?). "Kodwa ukuba sitya ukutya okutsha, okuphilayo, okumibalabala, kwaye okuhle, mhlawumbi siza kuziva ngokufanayo," wongeza.
