How Healing Ourselves Heals the Planet (ft. Dr. Sailesh Rao)
In this episode of the Plant based Curious Podcast, host Diane Randall chats with Systems engineer and climate visionary Dr. Sailesh Rao who reveals how animal agriculture drives 66% of global heating—more than fossil fuels—and why reclaiming our health through plant-based living is Earth’s lifeline. From colonial food addiction to a bold Vegan World 2026 roadmap, this episode is a wake-up call to align our bodies, ethics, and planet. Tune in for science-backed hope and actionable steps to join the healing.
Key Points:
- Animal Agriculture Crisis: Responsible for 2x more heating than fossil fuels (when accounting for sulfur masking effects).
- Health = Planetary Survival: Chronic diseases and climate collapse share roots in misaligned diets.
- Colonialism’s Toxic Legacy: Modern food systems weaponize addiction (sugar, processed foods) like historical opium trade tactics.
- Vegan World 2026: A Climate Healers initiative to rewild 40% of Earth’s land by ending animal farming.
Standout Quotes:
- “We’re all being factory-farmed by design—it’s time to break free.”
- “Shut down animal agriculture today. Fossil fuels need a phase-out; veganism is instant triage.”
- “Faith, not hope: Transformation is already happening.”
Do This Now:
- Try a 30-day plant-based reset to heal your body and shrink your footprint.
- Debunk the “protein myth” (plants power elephants—they’ll power you!).
