I want to be a vegan. Please don’t stop reading – I’m just like you, I swear! I eat meat. I eat dairy. I’ve always eaten meat and dairy. I just ate a shrimp and feta salad about four minutes ago.

Perhaps, she couldn’t ignore my inquisitive eyes longing to make a connection with the only other brown person in the room.

It is fair to say that Shiva faced a lot of opposition from people who didn’t share her world-view. But at the end of the day, she followed her conscience and she continues to do so.
