Uneminyaka eli-17 ubudala UStacey Irvine ye Inqaba uVale, iBirmingham ndandihlala ephupheni kude kube kutshanje; ebesoloko ephila ukutya okuqulathwe ikakhulu kukutya kweenkuku zikaMcDonald , ngamanye amaxesha-kodwa kunqabile-ukuphambuka kwisitovu seKFC okanye iqhekeza lesonka. Kutshanje, nangona kunjalo, konke kuye kwamfikela xa wayenengxaki yokuphefumla kwaye wawa. Wasiwa esibhedlele apho oogqirha bafumanisa ukuba imithambo yegazi idumbile ngolwimi lwakhe kunye ne-anemia kwaye bamfaka iivithamini kwangoko. Ukuthathela ingqalelo ukuba ebengenaso isiqhamo okanye imifuno-ngaphandle kwe-ketchup, mhlawumbi-kwiminyaka eyi-15, ngummangaliso omncinci ebengenayo ne-scurvy.
Wenza oku ukusukela kubini. Inokwenzeka njani loo nto? Luphi ungenelelo lwabazali? Ewe, ibikhona, kodwa kuphela ukuya kwinqanaba. Umama kaStacey uxelele Ilanga , Ndikwiqondo lam lobulumko. Ndiyathandaza ukuba angancedwa phambi kwexesha. Ibuhlungu intliziyo yam xa ndimbona esitya loo maqashiso. Njengomntwana, kubonakala ngathi, uStacy angathanda ngokupheleleyo ukwala Ukutya nakuphi na okunye ukutya, ukhetha ukuzilambisa. Umama wakhe ekugqibeleni wazinza ngokumenzela ukutya. Njengokuba nam ndandingumntwana onzima kakhulu, ndiyayibona indlela enokwenzeka ngayo le nto. UStacy akazange akhule aphume kwisigaba, nangona kunjalo, kwaye waqhubekeka nokutya i-nuttin ’kodwa ii-nuggets ze-15 iminyaka yonke.
Masithethe ngeziphumo zempilo, andibi kunjalo? Ngokucacileyo oku kubi kuwe, kodwa ngeendlela ezahlukeneyo ezimbi nezinomdla. Okokuqala, oko kuthetha ukuba ubuncinci ngama-33% ngaphezulu kwamafutha kwisidlo sakhe kunokuba kucetyisiwe. Ngandlel ’ithile, ukwazile ukunqanda ukutyeba ngokugqithiseleyo; akucaci ncam ukuba njani. Okwesibini, wafumana phantse iivithamini. Engakhange asitye isiqhamo okanye imifuno kwiminyaka eli-15, kuye kwafuneka aphile ngeevithamini ezifumaneka kwiifry kunye neegugg ezinokuthi zibalwe malunga ne-10% yeemfuno zakhe zemihla ngemihla zevithamini C, hayi enye into. Okwesithathu, ukutya kwakhe ityuwa yayihamba ngophahla malunga ne-912mg ngosuku, kabini inani elicetyiswayo, yonke imihla. Kuyavunywa, zininzi, kodwa unokuzifumana ngokwakho.
Ithemba kukuba ngoku ekubeni ukutya kwakhe kuye kwamfumana ngokumangalisayo, kodwa kufutshane nokufa, uya kutshintsha iindlela zakhe ahambe ayokutya i-broccoli okanye enye into. Oko ngekhe kwenzeke, nangona kunjalo. Njengoko unokukrokrela, bobabini umkhwa kunye nokuba likhoboka, ngabadlali abaphambili kulo mdlalo. Ngaphandle kokuxelelwa, ngokucacileyo, ukuba oku kutya kuya kumbulala, uStacey usenengxaki yokushukuma izinto ezintle. Uye wavuma, nangona kunjalo ndiqala ukuqonda ukuba kubi kum. Kwaye ukuqala sisiqalo, ndiyaqikelela.
Kwirekhodi, abantakwabo-Stacey badla njengabantu abaqhelekileyo. Ndiyathemba ukuba udade wabo uza kujoyina. Imifuno ayikho lonto imbi. Ndiyathetha, zincinci kakhulu kunezinto ezinkukhu, akunjalo?
