What happens when one of the biggest names in vegan content considers dropping the word “vegan” from their brand?

In this episode, we break down why brands like Beyond Eat Just and Impossible are chasing high-protein, gym-focused trends instead of what actually matters: taste, price, and real-world appeal.

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?
