About this episode

How does a lifelong vegetarian navigate raising kids in America while her husband embraces meat diets? Join us as we tackle this family feud, with Shalabh young conversion to meat-eating and our daughter Zoya’s yoga-inspired veganism. We dive into the environmental impact of our diets, from factory farming to shocking vegetarian eco-costs, and share practical tips for healthier plant-based protein diets. Reflecting on our journey in parenting and feeding our kids, we discuss the challenge of instilling good dietary habits early while keeping our sanity intact.
