From growing up in a hardcore non-vegetarian household to witnessing a life-changing moment inside a slaughterhouse, Shivam shares the raw reality that completely transformed his perspective on animals, food, and morality. we dive deep into the psychological reasons why people say “plants feel pain” and how this often serves as a way to avoid moral responsibility.
