Claire Smith of Beyond Investing and Beyond Animal joins me to discuss the hurdle of not enough bank loans for plantbased businesses, their reliance on private equity and being at the mercy of private equity’s need for liquidity. We also discuss a shifting market place towards plantbased. The Plantbased Business Hour airs weekdays during 'home stay' on Facebook.com/JaneVelezMitchell . It is archived on ElysabethAlfano.com and the Awesome Vegans Podcast.

Are Grocery Stores Stocking Up on Plant-based Meats During Coronavirus?

The Coronavirus came from eating animals. No one is talking about this. So I have started a Special Series Running on Awesome Vegans (in addition to same) during 'Safer at Home' Coronavirus times: The Plantbased Business Hour. This series talks about the solution to pandemic viruses (Corona, SARS, Ebola, Mad Cow, Swine Fever, Asian Bird Flu, etc.), which is plant-based meat alternatives. I will talk with the leaders in the field who are focused on the solution for real change. Otherwise, we will go back to business as usual and find ourselves right back here with another pandemic in short order.

This series is focused on the solution.

Founder of Before the Butcher and Current Presiplant of #UnCut Burgers, Danny O’Malley joined Elysabeth to discuss how being acquired has helped the company weather the Coronavirus, if grocers are considering plant-based meats when meat supplies have run out, and if we have come to a saturation point for plant-based burgers.
