Specifically, the report shares that as of June 2016, the plant-based food sector has brought in $4.9 billion worth of revenue, has created upwards of 60,500 jobs at which the average income hovers just below $60,000. That’s about $13,000 more than the average income in the United States. In terms of economic output, the plant-based food sector has had $13.7 billion worth of sales. The annual contribution to the Gross Domestic Product, also called added value, equals $6.1 billion. Not bad for a relatively budding industry! Considering these figures, it’s no surprise that more and more food industry conglomerates, like Danone and Unilever, have been slowly stockpiling vegan brands for their portfolio – it’s plain, good business.

You should learn civility and diplomacy if you want folks to consider your viewpoints.

Your emotionally charged attacks on those who disagree with you are ridiculous.

Therein lies your problem.

You continue to treat others like ****, and you will continue to reap what you sow.

Eating only fruits and veggies causes a mental illness too.

It's called lacking the proteins for proper brain health, something a well rounded diet doesn't worry bout!

Speaking of, I got my gumbo going, I'll post pics and break down when it's done. It has meat, and seafood, and veggies. Well Rounded.

We rarely eat red meat - just the occasional burger - too expensive, and we just have gotten away from it years ago.

Chicken, turkey, and pork if we eat meat.

We use ground turkey for taco meat - the pool 'o grease from ground hamburger just doesn't cut it.

All food is plant based. The smart animals eat the animals that eat plants.

The crusading, quasi-religious spirit, which exists mainly among people who ironically consider themselves liberal, shows itself in many forms. But there are a couple common features: a conviction that the crusader is morally superior; and a strong urge to coerce other people into living like the crusader thinks they should.

No, it does not - what a combative and ignorant post.

Frankly, bull**** times 2 is still bull****.

This is exactly what you will reap with this post.

Folks here are not stupid nor ignorant - we read it the first time.

Since you are going to assume that we are fools by posting twice, now your impact is negative and becomes zero.
