019: Creating the Best Cheese Experience with David Israel
Manage episode 347105707 series 2799860
There's no light switch here, but we do have to make changes." -David Israel
From the way it tastes, to the way it smells, to the way it melts over a perfectly cooked Asiago chicken breast (or pasta, or pizza, or a cracker, you name it)— so yes, we do love cheese! It's one of life's great pleasures.
However, cheese is also one of the biggest contributors to climate change and injustice towards animals. As the world population climbs and livestock-dependent farming practices remain, it has become necessary to develop more sustainable production methods. Our planet needs every business and individual to take ownership and save it.
In order to help mitigate the harmful effects of the dairy industry, GoodPLANeT Foods set out to create a premium plant-based cheese that is better for the planet and also better for humans.
The company's founder, David Israel, challenged the idea that good food has to be complicated, especially when it comes to its environmental footprint. That's why he sold the snack company he founded in 2011 (POP! Gourmet Foods) and shifted to creating something that brings all the flavor with none of the guilt.
In this episode, David shares the challenges he faced and the blessings he received from creating a joyful cheese experience for their consumers. Justine and David also discuss how we can create balance and inclusion in our products, the good and bad side of competition, and how we can help our consumers to be willing to give plant-based alternatives a place in their choices.
