Did you know that over 50% of the world’s grain is used to feed livestock instead of people? This startling fact highlights the inefficiencies and ethical concerns of our current food system. I recently had the opportunity to share this and much more on the NHA Health Science Podcast with Dr. Frank Sabatino. 


We explored my journey from a traditional vegetarian upbringing in a Hindu family to embracing a vegan lifestyle, and how mindfulness and compassion play crucial roles in these choices. Our conversation also touched on my upcoming documentary, “Do No Harm,” which aims to raise awareness about the hidden truths of the dairy industry and inspire more compassionate living. 
I’m passionate about sharing these insights and encouraging others to consider the impact of their food choices on animals, the environment, and their own health. If you’re curious to learn more and join the conversation, you can enjoy the full podcast episode here: www.HealthScience.org/podcast/094-Pria-Acharya.

Slow Change

Change usually happens with small seeds being nurtured over time.

It can include speaking up, showing up in small ways that has a trickle effect, giving others something new to consider.

For me, this has included just asking if something is vegan at events, potlucks, when traveling. On the one hand, I’m just a vegan trying to eat, which I’m entitled to. On another, I’m proclaiming my existence as a vegan representative of other vegans and to prompt some potential needed discomfort in the other on who I am and why.

I did just that this past week when RSVPing for my neighborhood HOA sponsored 4th of July celebration breakfast. There wasn’t a vegan option stated, so I reached out to the representative, who connected me to the board president, who graciously reached out to the vendor and made plans for me to get a vegan breakfast burrito.

I could have not reached out, deciding to just have an entree at home. But reaching out was a deliberate, mindful choice of activism to show up, take space as a vegan, create and plant some seeds of awareness on veganism with others.

I made similar inquiry (Is this vegan?) at a potluck of “wise women” at my Unitarian Universalist fellowship recently, when I could have remained silent.

I wasn’t rude, just present for myself and animals.
