法助動詞 A2

What if I told you that you can change the world

everytime you go to the supermarket, prepare dinner, or visit a restaurant,

Well, if you said that to me only two years ago,

Back then, if I went to a restaurant, I would order a big, red, juicy steak.

If you say to me, "Whatever you want to choose to eat,"

I would prefer to sit on a bar and, with my bare hands, tear a crab apart, bit by bit.

and food to me was an adventure, pleasure, passion,

But as I became a conscious eater, I discovered I can save lives,

improve my health and contribute to protecting the environment.

So, I am changing it every time I go to the supermarket, prepare dinner or visit a restaurant.

that conscious eating means giving up all the pleasures of food,

I took all these ingredients of taste, flavors, aromas, textures,

and added in values of helping, giving and protecting.

So, food is still an adventure, still a pleasure, still a passion,

We're all eating from the moment we were born throughout our lives.

and personally for me, it's everything in between.

Before I even finish one meal, I'm already fantasizing about the next.

Based on advertising? Your mother's cooking?

Most of the time, we don't make a conscious choice.

about all this food we put into our bodies. What's in it?

How was it made? Where does it come from? Who suffered for it?

Two years ago, although I was writing about food,

I didn't know everything about it. Maybe I didn't want to.

But then, as in any good story, I met a guy.

He was actually thinking about what he eats.

he chose to take meat, cheese, milk, and eggs out of his plate.

So, I was very curious, and as a good journalist,

I immediately started asking him all kinds of questions:

"What's wrong with milk? Why don't you eat eggs?

Come on, you probably eat free-range eggs or organic eggs." But, no.

Okay, so I asked a lot of questions and I got a lot of answers.

And it was then that I knew that something had changed,

that I will not be able to fantasize about this next meal, the same way I did before.

Okay, but I didn't ask for the price. I asked for its cost.

As a child, when I saw a little, tiny yellow chick,

They are so sweet with these tiny, little wings,

It would have never crossed my mind to crush or to choke this little yellow chick to death,

but this is exactly what I was doing by eating eggs.

just because they are males and cannot lay eggs.

Their sisters are being killed only two years later,

In other words, the egg industry, in Israel alone,

kills 9 million chicks and chickens every single year.

This is the cost of an egg, an omelette and a cake.

I visited dairy farms many times, but I never really saw the cows.

All I knew was that a cow gives milk. We all know that.

But wait a second, I'm a mother. I gave birth.

I know that in order for my body to produce milk,

She is impregnated, and when she gives birth,

her baby is immediately taken away from her,

And mother cow is being milked over, and over, and over again,

until her body collapses and she becomes your meatballs.

The dairy industry and the meat industry are the same industries

that enslave and ultimately kill these innocent feeling beings.

This is the cost of cheese, milk, and yoghurt.

So conscious eating is saving lives, but what's in it for me?

Well, my body thanks me every day for not putting into it cholesterol,

saturated fats, toxics, hormones, drug residues, you name it.

Some of the leading health and nutrition organizations in the world

already declared that a well-planned plant-based diet

will dramatically reduce your chance of having a heart attack, cancer, diabetes, cholesterol, kidney diseases.

So by stopping hurting others, I got  he huge bonus of stopping hurting myself.

By the way, you can stop hurting yourself and get the huge bonus

of stopping hurting others. It goes the same way.

So, conscious eating is saving lives and it's good for our health,

but it's also the best thing you can do to protect the environment.

Actually, you cannot be an environmentalist while eating meat.

holding a hamburger in one hand and sawing it with the other.

You know that recently I just heard that Al Gore had become vegan.

is one of the most polluting  and wasteful industries on earth.

It's polluting air more than all the vehicles in the world together!
