This episode dives deep into the health impacts of meat and dairy, the 30 million lives lost each year to diet-related chronic disease, and why going vegan may be the most powerful climate solution available to us.Together, we explore the consequences of everyday food choices, the ethics of ahimsa (non-violence), and how systemic change in diets and industries could redefine our future. This is a conversation about more than climate change. It's about survival, justice, and the urgent decisions that will shape the fate of our planet.Whether you’re an environmentalist, student, policymaker, or someone questioning the link between health, sustainability, and climate, this episode will challenge your perspective and inspire action.#ClimateChange #AnimalAgriculture #Sustainability #SustainableTeaWithShreyaTimestamps:0:00 – Meet Dr. Shailesh Rao3:40 – The Hidden Driver of Climate Change9:25 – Why the World Must Go Vegan16:42 – The Dairy Scam Exposed24:18 – “Killing Machine” vs. “Burning Machine”31:56 – How Meat & Dairy Damage Our Health39:44 – 30 Million Deaths Every Year47:29 – Fossil Fuels Aren’t the Only Threat55:10 – The True Cost of Animal Agriculture1:02:37 – Ahimsa and the Food System1:10:25 – Can the World Go Plant-Based?1:18:50 – Rethinking Food Systems for the Future1:27:05 – Climate Denial and Policy Roadblocks1:34:22 – Why the Next Generation Holds the Key1:41:15 – Dr. Rao’s Final Call to Action1:46:57 – Closing------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Where bold ideas meet brewed conversations. ☕ Sustainable Tea with Shreya is India’s biggest sustainability podcast, hosted by climate communicator and plant based lifestyle advocate Shreya Ghodawat.
