This episode starts with one question and ends with your entire worldview being challenged.What happens when an entrepreneur, one of the world's most influential documentary filmmakers, and a passionate advocate for compassion sit down to question everything we've been told about food, health, spirituality, and our relationship with animals?Amy is joined by Kunal Avanti and legendary filmmaker Kip Andersen (Cowspiracy, What The Health, Seaspiracy, and Christspiracy) for a conversation that's equal parts fascinating, uncomfortable, hilarious, and completely mind-blowing.* Is dairy really as healthy as we've been told?* The connection between food, compassion, and spirituality.* Why millions are questioning what's on their plates.* What the food industry doesn't want you to think about.* Can one conversation change your perspective forever?* How can YOU start a documentary* The truth about empathy, ethics, and everyday choices.Expect shocking stories, uncomfortable truths, unexpected laughs, bold opinions, and plenty of moments that'll make you pause and go... "Wait... what?!" 😳Whether you're vegan, vegetarian, a meat eater, or just someone who loves asking big questions, this episode isn't here to tell you what to think...It's here to make sure you never stop questioning.

In this episode, Amy sits down with Ulka Gupta for a raw, uncomfortable, and much-needed conversation about India’s complicated relationship with cows. We worship them, call them mothers, and place them at the centre of culture and religion - yet rarely question what happens behind the dairy, meat, and leather industries.Together, they unpack the hypocrisy, conditioning, and convenience that allow people to love cows in theory while ignoring their suffering in practice. A bold episode on compassion, culture, and the uncomfortable truth behind “Gau Mata.”#UlkaGupta #Bollywood #Veganism #Podcast

We uncover what actually happens inside slaughterhouses the reality that is rarely shown or discussed. The conversation challenges common arguments like “jobs will be lost” and explains why this is not a valid moral justification for harm. We also break down widespread myths around protein and B12, questioning whether we’ve been misled about nutrition.We explore why many influencers avoid debates on veganism, and whether it stems from lack of evidence or fear of being exposed. The discussion goes further into culture versus ethics — asking whether tradition should ever justify violence against vulnerable beings. At its core, this episode highlights that the real issue is not a lack of intelligence, but a lack of critical thinking and moral reflection.It also confronts uncomfortable truths about human nature, selfishness, and the ways we justify our choices. Finally, we tackle a powerful question 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐥𝐲 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞: 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐯𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐦, 𝐨𝐫 𝐚 𝐡𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬?Timestamps00:00 Trailer01:40 Introduction02:32 Why Shivam chose veganism04:39 Turning point at the slaughterhouse06:28 Childhood memory of animal killing08:41 “If we stop eating meat, people will lose jobs”14:26 Are humans naturally selfish?15:32 Importance of moral education and critical thinking18:59 One animal vs improving 100 animals – what should we choose?21:28 Different approaches to activism (welfare vs abolition)24:40 Why is Navjot Singh avoiding debate34:05 Why they want public debates36:33 Aman Duggal Controversy44:31 Protein and B12 deficiency debate49:28 Why mindset matters more than diet51:08 “Plants feel pain” argument54:08 Psychology behind justifying animal consumption56:45 Discomfort when beliefs are challenged59:36 Will everyone ever go vegan?1:00:02 One vegan vs 100 reducing consumption1:07:37 Biggest disappointment with humans1:10:33 Lack of sex education and its impact1:13:58 Thoughts on p*Řn and objectification1:16:18 Social media and extreme content exposure1:18:22 Reaction to disturbing animal cruelty video1:20:54 Questioning culture and religion1:27:43 Moral superiority argument about vegans1:28:51 Comparing veganism with past social movements1:30:54 Rise of anti-vegan content 1:32:04 “Not eating meat on Tuesday” logic1:36:17 Importance of critical thinking1:38:37 Veganism is not just for elites (South Delhi/Bombay myth).
