#17 - Why Veganism Can Save The World From Climate Change: A Dentist's Perspective with Keval Shah

"Become what you see in the world." As a crusader for veganism and animal rights, Keval has a great belief that this is the way to go to counter climate change and carbon footprint.   The adage best personifies this guest for this episode.   Keval Shah joined the practice in 2010. He graduated from Guy's King's and Thomas' Dental Institute in 2006 and worked in practice for a year before working as a Senior House Officer in Lincoln and Kettering in the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery department.   This was followed by a year of training in Special care Dentistry in Northampton, where he treated patients with special needs and dental phobia. He went to work in a village in rural India, helping people with their dental problems. He has a particular interest in minimally invasive dentistry and cosmetic treatment and hopes to train further in providing simple orthodontic treatment.   When out of work, he reads extensively about nutrition and its healing potential. He is a consistent crusader for animal rights and helps organise events related to environmental conservation. Swimming and keeping fit, and spending time with loved ones are what he enjoys the most.   Join Keval as he gets passionate about his own beliefs and preference about veganism and animal rights.   Learn why there is this burning desire in him about delivering his message for everyone to go vegan and respecting animal rights.   Keval gets his message across, especially in how being vegan has given him optimal results in his health issues.   He discusses how this lifestyle translates to saving the world. For him, veganism will save us from water shortage and hunger.   It is his life-long mission for everyone to be made aware that veganism saves the world from climate change.   Let's dive deep into the conversation.   Enjoy!   It is about going on the journey and realizing that there is so much we can do to change. Taking those steps, you are becoming part of a healing planet. Because we have burned it a lot and it's time to start healing again by finding our way back to living simply. - Keval Shah   What you will discover from this episode   04:08 Keval’s simple childhood years, family background, and life in Kenya   06:49 What is the principles and history of Jainism   07:44 How he was brought up to be vegetarian   15:27 Why he stopped eating meat and started being vegetarian again   23:09 The inconvenient truth about the free-range animals, and humane killing of animals   37:55 Can going vegan cut off your carbon footprint    42:21 How does he combine his veganism belief and dental practice   45:48 Will going vegan prevents climate change   48:43 What pushes him to become a vegan crusader   50:36 How can we urge dentists fight to reduce the carbon footprint   01:05:18 How to start transitioning to a vegan diet   Connect With Keval Shah:   Bushey Dental Surgery Animal Interfaith Alliance   Connect with Prav and Payman:   Website Prav on Instagram Payman on Instagram
