More than 54% of Americans Have Now Tried Plant Based Alternatives

October 07, 2021 - Baystreet.ca


There’s growing demand for plant based food. In fact, according to Research and Markets, “In North America, the plant-based meat category is no longer being driven solely by vegetarian demand and is stimulating interest in a far broader base of consumers than the vegetarian spectrum alone. Health concerns are the most prominent driver in the reduction of meat consumption, but cost, animal welfare and global warming also feature prominently.” In addition, according to a new survey from Piplsay.com, 54% of Americans have tried plant based foods available at fast food chains. About 60% said they would continue eating plant based foods for health reasons. All of which is driving growth to companies like Komo Plant Based Foods (CSE:YUM) (OTC:KOMOF)(FSE:9HB), Else Nutrition Holdings Inc. (TSXV: BABY)(OTCQX: BABYF)(FSE:0YL), Guru Organic Energy Corp. (TSX:GURU), The Hain Celestial Group (NASDAQ:HAIN), and MustGrow Biologics Corp. (CSE:MGRO)(OTC:MGROF).
