THE VEGETARIANS AT THE GATE

Many vegans want to destroy the modern food system. Investor Chris Kerr wants to use it to take plant-based products mainstream.

VEGAN FISH AND FISH-FREE SEAFOOD

What is vegan fish?  What is vegan seafood? 

As with anything vegan, vegan fish and vegan seafood are made from products that are 100% animal-free.  As veganism grows in popularity and availability, companies are stepping up their game to improve vegan foods to taste like the real thing.  Although vegan beef, vegan chicken and vegan eggs tend to make more headlines; vegan fish and vegan seafood are steadily becoming more and more prevalent.

11 WELLNESS TRENDS TO WATCH IN 2019

This year, the wellness world got a makeover. People started having more open and honest conversations about mental health, green beauty went mainstream, and CBD took over the world (that’s only a slight exaggeration).

THESE FOOD TRENDS WILL BE EVERYWHERE IN 2019, ACCORDING TO WHOLE FOODS

Seaweed’s not the only marine-sourced superfood snack you’ll find in 2019. Fish-free seafood (made with algae!) presents an exciting alternative to those with allergies or dietary restrictions, while salmon and kelp jerkeys offer nutrient-rich snacking options.

BUSINESS INSIDER TODAY

STARTUPS ARE USING TOMATOES, EGGPLANT AND CARROTS TO IMPROVE FAKE FISH

Innovators are using tomatoes, eggplant, carrots, pea starch and an Asian root vegetable called konjac to make imitation smoked salmon, tuna, shrimp and sushi products, The Wall Street Journal reported.

In the past, fake seafood was made with soy and wheat gluten. But these companies are developing manufacturing processes and specialized machinery to better approximate the flakiness, texture and taste consumers are accustomed to experiencing with real tuna, salmon and shrimp products.

WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU’RE VEGAN AND EXPECTING

Being pregnant means life is growing inside you. So it’s no wonder that so many expectant mothers choose to have a vegan pregnancy, as there’s no kinder way to welcome new life into the world.

But is a vegan pregnancy healthy? Is it safe?

Yes and yes, according to Dr. Shannon M. Clark, a spokesperson for the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.

SEAFOOD WITHOUT THE SUFFERING: TRY THESE GREAT VEGAN PRODUCTS

Attention, “pescatarians”: Fish are intelligent and feel pain. What’s more, fish flesh is toxic to humans, and the seafood industry is destroying the environment. There’s no need to participate in any of this when you can “catch” one of the many vegan seafood products available online or in grocery stores across the country today.

FISH: THE FINAL FRONTIER IN FAKE MEAT

Burgers, chicken and hot dogs dominate the fast-growing, $684 million market for plant-based meat alternatives. Fish? Not so much.

That is starting to change as upstart companies invest in new ingredients, machinery and technologies that promise to make imitation tuna, salmon and shrimp smell, taste and appear more…fishy.

NEARLY 1 MILLION SQUARE MILES OF ARCTIC OCEAN NOW PROTECTED FROM COMMERCIAL FISHING

Commercial fishing has just been banned in an area of the Arctic covering nearly one million square miles — about the size of the Mediterranean.

The Guardian reports that per the Central Arctic Ocean agreement signed in Greenland last Wednesday, commercial fishing will be prohibited for at least the next 16 years. While no companies currently fish there, rising global temperatures have melted areas previously covered in ice, allowing for ships to traverse the area. The U.S., Russia, Canada, Norway, Denmark, Iceland, Japan, South Korea, China, and the EU have all agreed to the commercial fishing ban.

VEGAN SEASTAR SEAWEED-BASED TUNA AND SASHIMI LAUNCHES IN THE NETHERLANDS AT JUMBO SUPERMARKET

A new brand of plant-based seafood called Vegan SeaStar has launched in the Netherlands. The company is a collaboration between Dutch plant-based product commercial agent, Vegan XL, and the Amsterdam-based comfort food restaurant, Vegan Junk Food Bar.

WHOLE FOODS MARKET TO RELEASE PLANT-CENTERED COOKBOOK WITH VEGAN WICKED HEALTHY CHEFS CHAD AND DEREK SARNO

Whole Foods Market is set to release its first cookbook since 2002. Delish reports that the new plant-forward cookbook, called “The Whole Foods Cookbook: 120 Delicious and Healthy Plant-Centered Recipes,” is written by co-CEO and co-founder John Mackey and features recipes from “Wicked Healthy” vegan chefs and brothers Derek and Chad Sarno.

SIX TECHNOLOGIES THAT COULD SHAKE THE FOOD WORLD

A machine that prints chicken nuggets. Fake shrimp made out of algae. Edible coverings that keep fruit fresh.

These inventions—and many more—are part of a technological revolution that is poised to shake up the way we eat.

PLANT-POWERED ‘JACKASS’ STAR STEVE-O SMASHES FIRST TRIATHLON

Steve-O has come a long way since his early stunt-pulling days on “Jackass.” Though still a prankster at heart, the celebrity now puts much of his energy into activism, raising awareness, and most recently, completing triathlons with the boost of plant-based foods.

“I just got tenth place in my division at my first ever triathlon! Woohoo!!!” Steve-O wrote on Instagram to his 3.7 million followers. The achievement could be credited, in part, to vegan ultra-endurance athlete Rich Roll, who was seen training with Steve-O prior to the race.

“WE WANT TO CREATE DISRUPTION” – GOOD CATCH’S CHAD SARNO ON THE RISE OF PLANT-BASED SEAFOOD, THE BITESIZE INTERVIEW

Until now the plant-based food phenomenon has centred on replacing meat and dairy products but New York’s Good Catch is among the upstarts to have created vegan ‘seafood’. One of its founders, Chad Sarno, tells Andy Coyne of the challenges it has faced and its hopes for the future.

WE ARE GOOD NEWS IS WITH THE GOOD FOOD INSTITUTE

Heads of companies like Good Catch, Ocean Hugger Foods to Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods all meet at this incredible plant-based food event, hosted by The Good Food Institute, the only nonprofit organization globally harnessing the power of food innovation and markets to build a new future of food.

YOUR FISH TACOS JUST WENT PLANT-BASED

Meatless meat is on the rise. If you’re a plant-based eater then this is music to your ears. If you’re a Ron Swanson, bacon and eggs type, you might be skeptical. But hear us out.

First there was the Impossible Burger from Impossible Foods. They’ve made a legit, meat-free burger that certainly looks as good as they claim it tastes. But what do plant-based eaters do when that craving for fish tacos hits you hard? The answer: vegan seafood…

THIS NEW COMPANY IS CREATING SUPER-REALISTIC VEGAN VERSIONS OF YOUR FAVORITE SEAFOOD STAPLES

So far, 2018 has been a really great year to be vegan. Long gone are the days of having to choose between limited options that taste more like cardboard than food in order to get your faux-animal-product fix: Now there’s ultra-creamy ice cream, Beyond Burgers gracing the meat aisles of grocery stores, plenty of non-dairy options at Starbucks, and Impossible Burgers making history by being served at fast food chains. Heck, there’s even an eggless scramble that tastes so real hitting the retail market soon. And now, one company is diving headfirst into the world of plant-based seafood…

THE BEST BURGER YOU’LL EVER HAVE IS MADE FROM PLANTS

There’s nothing like the first great bite of a wonderful burger, the lettuce crisp and ripe in your mouth, the bun pressed hard against your upper lip, the texture chewy but not too soft and the burger itself, a thick and juicy sensory smorgasbord. Well, that’s how it should be, but the McDonald’s generation has become used to expecting less than top-notch burger experiences. The limp patty, flabby bun, and squeezy cheese rarely live up to those glistening commercials where everything is perfectly arranged in a clever marketing ploy to start those salivary glands going even as you head tells you it’s a con. But no longer. Let’s celebrate the end of those sad little sandwiches and enter the era of epicurean burger bliss…

VEGAN ‘SEAFOOD’ OFFERINGS BROADEN

More US companies selling plant-based seafood alternatives are emerging to capitalize on rising concern about ocean plastic pollution, overfishing and other issues, Forbes reported.

VEGAN SEAFOOD IS ABOUT TO BECOME BIG BUSINESS–AND NOT A MOMENT TOO SOON

Plastic straws are the enemy du jour at the moment. This heartbreaking video of a sea turtle with a straw stuck up his or her nostril has resulted in multi-national corporations pledging to ban single-use plastic straws.

This is a laudable cause, but on its own, it’s like sticking a band aid over a bullet wound instead of performing surgery to remove the offending object to ensure it does no more damage. Our oceans are, indeed, under threat, but not just from microplastics…

AWARD WINNING ‘GOOD CATCH FOODS’ IS VEGANIZING SEAFOOD

A new vegan brand, Good Catch Foods, is doing their best to raise the bar on vegan seafood options at the grocery store.

VEGAN TUNA, MOZZARELLA, AND CAVIAR: 2017’S BEST NEW VEGAN PRODUCTS

2017 has been quite a year for vegan food, and we can’t say that we’re surprised. More people are learning about everything from the horrid treatment of animals used for food to the health hazards of foods that they’d previously thought were healthy—not to mention the havoc that the meat and dairy industries are wreaking on our environment. Recently, we went to the Natural Products Expo East and were blown away…

GOOD CATCH FISH-FREE TUNA

“No water, no life. No blue, no green,” said marine biologist Sylvia Earle, of ocean conservation nonprofit Mission Blue. Preserving marine life is certainly a primary motivator behind the creation of this new seafood mimic from Good Catch. But most notable about the product is how convincing an imposter it is. Two chefs (and other industry all-stars) teamed up to create this fishless tuna, and the result is a heft of protein and omega-3s…
