At Expo West I expected a plant-forward food show… but what I found instead raised a lot of questions.

In this episode of the Vegan Hacks Podcast, I break down the surprising presence of meat products and even beef tallow at what used to feel like a very vegan-friendly event.

I also sit down with some incredible founders pushing plant-based innovation forward:

Liz Kang, Founder and Co-CEO of Mamame, creating bold tempeh chips
Madelyn Hadley, Founder of Madly Hadley, crafting clean-label vegan staples like coconut bacon bits and cashew parmesan
Jeremy from Steak ’n Shake, who explains the company’s controversial move to cook with beef tallow

It’s a fascinating mix of food innovation, industry reality, and the big question:

Where is the plant-based movement heading next?
