plant based meat

“Create your own luck. Get out there, eat right, wear good supportive shoes, and build the change you want to see in the world.”

On this week’s episode of the Eat Green Make Green Podcast I sit down with the rebellious Christie Lagally. Christie is a former Boeing Engineer who holds multiple manufacturing tech patents and is now the Founder & CEO of Rebellyous Foods.  We talk about Christie’s path as an engineer to founding Rebellyous, how Rebellyous is changing the way plant-based meat is manufactured, her experience as a woman in very male-dominated fields, her advice to women in business, the advantages of plant-based chicken nuggets, how sharing her “why” makes her business more authentic, how she accomplishes big goals, and how to build the change you want to see in the world.

What Is Tofu?

Tofu -- or bean curd -- is made by pressing curdling soy milk into a solid block. Some tofu is firm while others are more soft and smooth. It can be sliced into different shapes and cooked in lots of ways.

People in Japan have made tofu for more than 2,000 years. It’s gotten popular in other places more recently.

Some people complain that it's bland, but it nicely takes on the flavor of the sauce or seasonings you prepare it with. And it's got a lot of health benefits going for it.


Tofu Health Benefits

Like other soy-based foods, tofu contains plant estrogens. For many years, people thought soy added too much estrogen to your body and led to breast cancer in women.

But much of the research that raised that concern looked at the effects of soy on rodents. Those animals process soy differently than humans do. Studies with people show that tofu doesn't have enough plant estrogens to cause breast cancer. And some research suggests tofu may lower your risk of the disease.

“We can create meat-like experiences that will be the same for the customer, just without animals and with a far lighter footprint on the planet.”

On this week’s episode of the Eat Green Make Green Podcast I sit down with the trailblazing Paul Shapiro. Paul is the CEO of The Better Meat Co, the author of the national bestselling book Clean Meat, and a 4-time TEDx Speaker. We talk about how Paul’s experience writing Clean Meat led him to want to start a company in the space, why history shows us that technology, not compassion, has replaced the use of animals, why the Better Meat Co. focuses on selling their plant-based meats to big meat companies for blending, why making meat without the animal makes sense, the massive environmental benefits of making meat from plants, why big meat companies are becoming “protein” companies, and why changing how we make meat is the only path forward.
