SXSW 2022

Are Plant-Based Foods Really the Same as Plants?

Description:

Michael Pollan told us to "eat food, not too much, mostly plants," but have we taken the latter too literally and has the flooding of highly-processed fruits, vegetables and “plant-based” meat alternatives made us obsessed with “plant-based” foods? Is this really the best future we can envision? Using the resilience of wholesome ingredients, we believe in the viability of “prepare and preserve” over ultra-processed. Our panel brings together a plant-based yogurt pioneer, an alternative animal protein advocate, a farming entrepreneur, and a social impact investor to talk about the future of real and plant-based foods in order to explore what is truly the best way to restore our relationship with nature and society.
