Description

 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.”
