Overview

The hue and cry around climate change are real and are getting serious with each passing day. While some of us are pertinently working to defer the disasters, some aren’t even bothered. Despite the pool of knowledge around us regarding the environment and its deteriorating conditions, we least realize that even our food habits affect the earth massively.

Although the percentage of vegans and vegetarians is as small as 6-11% in this world as per the United Nations’ figures, the hatred towards factory farming is ever-increasing. From Hollywood celebrities like James Cromwell, Ellen Page to famed comedians like Frank Ferrante and Russell Brand to the Gen Z and millennial influencers all are the flag bearers of veganism and vegetarianism. While they might be the front-runners for the cause, Kunal Mutha is here with us who will reason the cause and explain why this lifestyle is towards sustainability and a better world.
