Engineering my Struggle - A First World Problem | Shama Sukul Lee | TEDxTauranga

Shama Lee believes that living close to the sun enhances your life. This was one of her foundational truths that emerged after experiencing a truly first world crisis. Shama's plan, to reduce stress on the planet and animals, involves a shift to plant-based protein production, in a form that cooks, feels and tastes like meat.

Shama's list of achievements had a number of boxes ticked; life was good.

However, a shadow of doubt crept into her heart and mind which eventuated in her leaving her cosy existence as a successful software engineer for a life of self-imposed exile. There she contemplated, what was it she could contribute to the world?

Shama's solitude resulted in a determination to follow her passion and find fulfilment...in peas! Her food technology start-up manufactures sophisticated, affordable, novel pea protein plant based alternatives to chicken and other meats. Ones you can sink your teeth into!
