Every year, billions of animals suffer unimaginable cruelty in factory farms, living in appalling conditions before meeting a brutal end. This stark reality forms the backdrop for the inspiring journey of Bobby Sud, an animal rights photographer and photojournalist.
A Journey from Health Crisis to Plant-Based Advocacy
Bobby Sud's path to veganism was deeply personal. Once weighing 300 pounds and suffering from type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, and hypertension, Bobby's health was in dire straits. Living in Austin, Texas, he was inspired by his identical twin brother, who had adopted a plant-based lifestyle and experienced profound health benefits. Despite witnessing his brother's transformation, it took Bobby three years to make the leap himself, moving to Los Angeles to embrace a new way of living.
Bobby doesn’t hold back when sharing the emotional and psychological hurdles he faced in making such a significant lifestyle change. For someone whose only source of joy was food, giving up unhealthy eating habits was a daunting task. He emphasized how isolating poor health can be and how terrifying it was to trust in the possibility of finding joy in other aspects of life.
The Road Less Eaten: Exploring Global Vegan Culture
Bobby's passion for plant-based living extended beyond personal health. He was curious about how different cultures around the world embraced plant-based diets. This curiosity led to the creation of "The Road Less Eaten," a travel show inspired by Anthony Bourdain's style but focused on vegan cuisine and culture. Together with actress Ally Eisman, Bobby explored veganism in countries like Israel and Ireland, showcasing the universal appeal of plant-based food.
Despite the show's potential, it faced significant challenges in securing advertising and network support, ultimately leading to its premature end. However, the experience opened doors for Bobby, connecting him with influential figures in the animal rights movement and allowing him to transition into more impactful work.
