Hoʻopau i ka lā ʻōpala meaʻai

I ka makahiki 2018, ua nānā au i kahi palapala i kapa ʻia E ʻai wale: He Moʻolelo ʻAi ʻAi a aʻo i ka nui o ka pilikia o ka pau ʻana o ka meaʻai a me ka pau ʻana o ka meaʻai (ʻānai meaʻai vs lilo ʻai). Na kēia i alakaʻi iaʻu i kahi huakaʻi aʻo e pili ana i ke koena meaʻai, ka pau ʻana o ka meaʻai, ka pau ʻana o ka meaʻai, a me ka hopena o ia mea i ko kākou honua.

Eia kekahi mau mea kupanaha mai REFED:

I ka makahiki 2019, 35% o nā meaʻai a pau ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa i kūʻai ʻole ʻia a ʻai ʻole ʻia (kapa lākou i kēia ʻai koena) - ʻo ia ka $408 biliona waiwai o ka meaʻai.
ʻO ka hapa nui o ia mea i lilo i ʻōpala meaʻai, i hele pololei i nā ʻōpala, i ke ahi, i lalo o ke kahawai, a i ʻole i waiho wale ʻia ma ke kula e pala.
ʻO ka meaʻai i ʻai ʻole ʻia ke kuleana no ka 4% o ka hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana o ke kinoea ʻōmaʻomaʻo ma US wale nō!
ʻO ka meaʻai i ʻai ʻole ʻia ka mea helu ʻekahi e komo ana i nā pae ʻāina.
Hoʻopau ka ʻohana ʻAmelika i ka meaʻai e like me $1,866 i kēlā me kēia makahiki (kālā hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia i nā mea e pono ai ka hale!) (ʻo kēia ʻoiaʻiʻo mai Hoʻopau i ka lā ʻōpala meaʻai).

ʻOiai he mea paʻakikī kēia ʻike, nui nā mea hiki iā mākou ke hana i loko o kā mākou lumi kuke ponoʻī! Hiki i nā mea kūʻai ke hana i A LOT e kōkua i ka hōʻemi ʻana i ka nui o ka meaʻai e pau ana i nā pae ʻāina. ʻO ka hana ʻana i nā hoʻololi maʻalahi a me nā koho i manaʻo ʻia he hopena maoli a maikaʻi hoʻi i ke olakino o kā mākou honua. ʻO ka mea maʻalahi, ʻo ka liʻiliʻi o ka meaʻai i loko o ka ʻōpala e like me ka liʻiliʻi o ka meaʻai ma nā pae ʻāina, ʻo ia hoʻi ka liʻiliʻi o nā kinoea ʻōmaʻomaʻo. Eia kekahi mau ala e kaupalena ai au i ka ʻōpala meaʻai ma kaʻu kīhini ponoʻī he maʻalahi a maʻalahi.

E ʻai i kēlā mau koena!
E hoʻokomo i nā lawelawe ʻē aʻe i loko o ka pahu hau no ka ʻai wikiwiki i kekahi pō.
E hoʻohana i nā huaʻai i hoʻoheheʻe ʻia i loko o ka smoothies a i ʻole ka mea cobbler hua me kahi oatmeal crumble.
E kūʻai aku me kahi papa inoa kūʻai kikoʻī, e hoʻopili iā ia, a e hoʻolālā no kahi helu o nā lā.
E hoʻohana i nā ʻili citrus e hana i kāu mau mea hoʻomaʻemaʻe ponoʻī.
E hoʻololi i nā meaʻai i loko o nā meaʻai no nā meaʻai i loaʻa iā ʻoe ma mua o ke kūʻai ʻana aku.
E hoʻohana i nā hua i koe i loko o nā stews, soups, a me nā mea ʻala.
E heluhelu i nā lā pau akā hilinaʻi i kou ihu a me kou ʻono. ʻOiai maikaʻi nā lā pau, e hōʻoia ʻaʻole ʻoe e hoʻolei aku i ka meaʻai maikaʻi loa.
Mai poina e kūʻai i nā hua ʻaʻole i hoʻopaʻa ʻia a hoʻohana pū i nā ʻeke hiki ke hoʻohana hou ʻia (ʻaʻole mākou makemake e hoʻopau i ka ʻeke meaʻai!)
E hana i ka ʻai ʻai, ka moa, a i ʻole ka pipi pipi, me ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā ʻōpala mea kanu a me nā iwi koena.
Hana ʻia nā ʻili citrus candied (maʻalahi loa!).
E hānai i kāu ʻīlio i kēlā mau ʻāpana ʻai e like me nā ʻāpala a me nā kāloti kiʻekiʻe (ʻaʻole wale nā aniani, keleka, a me nā mea ʻē aʻe).
E kau i kēlā mau ʻai ʻai a pau ma ka pā a kapa ʻia he ʻai tapas!

ʻO ka hope, ua hoʻolauna mai ka palapala moʻolelo iaʻu i ka hōʻiliʻili ʻana (ʻohi a hoʻohana i ke koena meaʻai ma nā mahiʻai). Ua noiʻi koke au i ka hōʻiliʻili ʻana i nā manawa kūpono a hāʻule i kahi mea waiwai ʻole i kapa ʻia ʻo UpRoot. Ua hele au iā lākou, a ua hāʻawi manawaleʻa wau iā lākou mai ia manawa mai! ʻO ka hana a UpRoot ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka palekana meaʻai o Coloradans ma o ka hōʻiliʻili ʻana a me ka hāʻawi hou ʻana i ke koena, nā meaʻai momona-momona ʻoiai e kākoʻo ana i ke kūpaʻa o ka poʻe mahiʻai. Nui koʻu hauʻoli i koʻu manawa manawaleʻa me UpRoot no ka mea hiki iaʻu ke hele i waho i nā mahiʻai, kōkua i ka ʻohi ʻana i nā meaʻai i hāʻawi ʻia i nā waihona meaʻai kūloko, a hui pū me nā hoa manawaleʻa e makemake nui i ka pale ʻana i ka pau ʻana o ka meaʻai a hoʻonui i ka palekana meaʻai. E aʻo hou e pili ana i ka hana manawaleʻa me UpRoot a e pili ana i ka hana nui a lākou e hana nei uprootcolorado.org.

Nui nā ala e hiki ai iā mākou ke hoʻomaka e hōʻemi i ka pau ʻole o ka meaʻai, mālama kālā, a me ka hakakā ʻana i ka hoʻololi ʻana i ke aniau. Ke aʻo nei au a manaʻolana e hana i kahi hopena nui aʻe me ka manawa. ʻO kaʻu mau pahuhopu e aʻo pehea e ulu ai i kaʻu meaʻai ponoʻī a aʻo i ka hana wai wai ke loaʻa iaʻu ka manawa e hana ai. Akā i kēia manawa, loaʻa iaʻu ka noʻonoʻo i ka lumi kuke, hoʻohana i kēlā me kēia nahu hope loa, a hoʻemi i ka nui o ka meaʻai e pau ana i kaʻu ʻōpala. 😊
