This report from Green Queen Media highlights a necessary truth: 🌱 Plant-based meats are healthier than their animal-based equivalents and better for the environment. 💡 Don't believe the hype from the mainstream media! They are in the pockets of the meat and dairy industry who have spent BILLIONS creating this UPF narrative. Use your instincts. The economics of growing plants and eating them will always be more efficient than growing animals and eating them! 🕵♂️ 💸 #plantbasedmeat #ultraprocessedfood #sustainablefood

I remember that one of the best ways to reduce your personal carbon footprint is to change your diet to a plant-based one. This was one of the major takeaways from the 2 Tonnes workshop. In fact, there is good research to support that a vegetarian diet is much healthier. But how much is that plant based food is ultra processed? This is a great FAQ to help you assess if that plant-based meat is truly good for you. I'm still looking into ways to change my family menu to incorporate more vegetables, this will definitely help me make better choices! https://lnkd.in/g52fYEaY #plantbasedfood #sustainability #climateaction

Does a vegetarian diet provide enough protein? Let’s end the debate here! Contrary to popular belief, vegetables can be excellent sources of protein. The key lies in understanding which veggies pack the most punch. For instance, a cup of cooked lentils provides about 18 grams of protein, rivaling the protein content in traditional meat sources. Here’s a list of some protein powerhouses in the veg world- * Chickpeas: 14.5g per cup * Quinoa: 8g per cup * Spinach: 5g per cup From lentil burgers to quinoa salads, the options to incorporate these into our diets are endless without compromising a bit on the nutrition or taste. At @Flax, we've embraced this by creating a menu highlighting these protein heroes. Our customers love it, and many are surprised by the flavors and satisfaction these dishes offer. What do you think: veg protein is a myth or reality? #myths #healthy #eating #food #innovation

I am virtually attending the The Wall Street Journal Global Food Forum in Chicago and while many speakers have been sharing their expertise, two leaders really stuck out to me: 🥣Gabrielle (Ellie) Rubenstein called cottage cheese sexy! She also is of the opinion that consumers do not want technology in their food. They want less steps between the raw ingredient to the finished product. Additionally, taste and experience are still very important versus technology. 🍫Ellie also spoke about the fact that the protein industry will grow to $32 billion by 2029 and CLEAN ingredients are still in (enter dairy). The new category they are doubling down on as an investment company: Protein Bars and protein in traditional baked goods. Clean, shelf stable and affordable. 🌿Kat Cole spoke about their premium product (AG1) with premium positioning: the daily spend is $3 per day for a scoop of powder that fills nutritional gaps. This is significantly higher than the cost of whey protein powder, which can be as low as $0.65 per serving while dairy has all the elements of a premium product. #DairyInnovation #PremiumNutrition #WSJFoodForum #HealthBenefits #DairyIndustry
