聯合利華一改航線，在起訴純素蛋黃醬Hampton Creek公司濫用“蛋黃醬”這一詞失敗後，也開始銷售自己公司的純素蛋黃醬了。而現在，聯合利華剛剛投資了一項由瓦格甯根大學開創的，名為“創新剪切細胞”的技術，這一技術能夠將蔬菜蛋白轉變為一層層的，多纖維的結構，就和牛肉的味道和口感一樣。這一項研究將會給市場帶來更多的肉類替代品。
這項研究的領導教授Atze Jan van der Groot告訴荷蘭NOS廣播公司：
在以前，他們並不相信，也不確定肉類替代品會成功。但是現在，他們相信這就是未來，並且他們需要分一杯羹。所以他們加入了這個項目。
聯合利華與其他的九個公司一起資助了這項研究。很明顯，植物肉類替代品的需求正在不斷上升。上個禮拜，泰森食品的CEO還說，“植物蛋白正在潮流化，發展的速度也比動物蛋白要快。”
上個月，楓葉食品公司（Maple Leaf Foods），一家加拿大的肉類包裝公司，購買下了美國的純素公司Lightlife。不過你並不需要等待這些商品在中國上市。你可以現在就做出善良的抉擇，從菜單上撤下動物制品，給MFA憫惜動物的微信公衆號回複“食譜”獲取大量的純素營養美食吧！ May 19, 2017

Unilever Taiwan Limited 聯合利華股份有限公司
談食品的科技創新，是否有機會幫助環境降低負荷量？聯合利華與荷蘭瓦赫寧根大學合作，透過細胞修剪技術，開發一款全素牛排（味道和外觀與普通牛肉無異），跳過傳統的畜牧與工廠加工環節，直接用技術人造食物。
當糧食危機議題興起，身為一個vegan，將對選購素食產品感到更自豪！據統計，在美國強調植物性食品的新產品上市量，從2013∼2016年，短短4年內成長3倍多，2017年6月國際食品及食品配料展覽會收錄亮點產品也幾乎與植物蛋白脫不了關係，2017年5月29日獲比爾蓋茲投資的 BeyondMeat 公司更成功讓素肉躍上一般超市通路。
品牌需要塑造自己的個性，當消費者有太多選擇的時候，商品能否從茫茫海中脫穎而出，拽住消費者的目光？將商品打造成某一群人的專屬食品，消費者會更愛你的產品，在商品中同時滿足自己的價值觀體現，因為別忘了！食品消費也會是一種表達生活態度的方式。抓住消費者最貼近當下的價值觀取向，運用科技打破框架，也能成為締造創新的絕妙方式。

認識素肉新科技 高營養高像真度
https://www.unileverfoodsolutions.hk/chef-inspiration/catering-trend/vegetarian_meat.html
近年全球餐飲業最大的變化，絕對是越來越多素食者出現，他們不一定只為宗教，而是為了個人健康及地球生態而改變飲食習慣，因此亦要求素食菜式變得更美味、更時尚，且有更多選擇，以新科技研發的素肉則應運而生。
美國矽谷高科技研發
大約六、七年前，香港曾是全球人均肉食消耗最高的地區，比美國還要高38%，但近年風氣大變，根據市場調查機構Ipsos於2014年的調查，發現香港有約160萬人有素食習慣。當中雖然只有3%為全素食者，但依然代表巿場對素食菜式早已大增。
美國矽谷早於2015年發展「食物2.0」素肉，打破素肉定義，甚至李嘉誠都有參與投資。當你以為這「植物肉」不過是坊間早期使用的「素肉」時，這些植物雞肉、植物漢堡扒味道已極速提升，當中，Beyond Meat更於去年中研發出最新植物漢堡扒「Beyond Burger」。它在美國各大超巿被擺放於肉類區域，給予消費者相當大的衝擊，引來搶購潮。它不單賣相與真正牛肉漢堡扒相似，其蛋白質含量高達每塊20克，比傳統漢堡扒肉高，卻其實只來自碗豆，而鐵質更是牛肉的雙倍。更利用紅菜頭的顏色，配合蛋白質中的胺基酸加糖製造的化學反應，成功模仿真正肉扒烹煮過程中，慢慢變色及散發香氣的效果，解決長久以來，大家對素食「無味、沒趣、不吸引」的註腳。
香港餐廳酒店陸續試推
這類型的科技素肉亦陸續引入香港，除了在高級超巿及健康食品店中有售外，亦越來越多餐廳、以至酒店開始使用。有份引入此食材的Green Monday，其旗下的綠色生活概念店Green Common當然是先頭部隊，率先利用Beyond Burger製作漢堡包，配合新鮮蔬菜、番茄、素芝士及牛油果等，味道與賣相皆吸引。而富豪酒店亦成為全港第一間推出適合純素主義者菜式的酒店集團，同樣用上植物肉，在酒店旗下中菜廳及咖啡室製作純素及不含五辛的菜式，由中式的雪裡紅植物牛崧釀茄子、欖豉脆脆植物雞、到西式肉丸潛艇三文治等，極富趣味又不失營養及味道。雖然成本比起一般素肉高，但同時亦是消費者信心保證，經營者及大廚值得考慮選用。
仿肉將打敗真肉，成為食品界的主流？
2016-12-31 由 畜牧大集網 發表于美食
隨著消費者喜好的改變和可持續性的承諾，植物蛋白，如「仿肉漢堡」，對動物蛋白消費有什麼影響？
2016年Biomin營養論壇舉行的一周，泰森食品宣布入股植物蛋白公司Beyond Meat5%的股份，Beyond Meat是Beyond Burger仿肉漢堡的製造商。巧合的是，倫敦帝國學院教授David Hughes博士在此次活動中，發表了演講「驅動蛋白質經濟：前所未有的挑戰和機遇」，講述了以植物蛋白質替代物對動物農業的真正威脅。
Beef, for example, has long been 「the bullseye of the target for many campaigners」 and the effort has successfully resulted in the decline of beef consumption due to negative PR surroundingfood safety, environmental concerns and health risks (cancer, cholesterol, etc.). This sentiment created a significant opportunity for Beyond Meat to raise $180 million to develop the Beyond Burger, with backers such as General Mills, the Humane Society of America and Bill Gates.
例如，牛肉長期以來一直是「許多運動者的靶心目標」，由於食品安全問題、環境問題和健康風險（癌症，膽固醇等），已經成功地導致牛肉消費的下降 。這種情緒為仿肉帶來了巨大的機會，如今仿肉漢堡的發展資金已上升至1.8億美元，支持者眾，如General Mills、美國人道協會和比爾·蓋茨。
Additional examples of animal product companies dipping in to meatless territory in 2016:
2016年動物產品公司進入仿肉領域的其他例子：
· Unilever: After originally planning to sue 「Just Mayo」 purveyor Hampton Creek, the parent company of Hellmann’s mayonnaise decided to get into the eggless mayo game instead.
· 法國達能集團：法國奶業巨頭購買了無奶製品企業WhiteWave。
Why are investors clamoring to get on the protein-alternative bandwagon? Is it a bellwether of things to come? The answer is yes, with hopes to profit from evolving consumer behavior and an aim to stay in touch with upcoming innovations in food science.
為什麼投資者對蛋白替代品投資？它是未來的領頭羊嗎？答案是肯定的，希望從不斷發展的消費者行為中獲益，並希望與即將到來的食品科學創新保持聯繫。
Hughes identified the trends that will allow plant-based foods to gain market share:
休斯確定植物性食品將獲得市場份額的趨勢：
· Most consumers purchase food based the cuisine they are in the mood for rather than the protein (「Let’s have Chinese」 vs. 「Beef, it’s what’s for dinner」).
· 大多數消費者根據他們的心情而不是蛋白質購買食物。
· Millennials don』t eat three meals a day, choose convenience and are willing to pay a premium for specialty products.
· 黃金時代出生的人不是每日三餐，他們以方便為主，並願意為特殊產品支付溢價。
· In general, older consumers eat less meat.
· 一般來說，年齡大的消費者吃肉少。
· The 「green bar」 is rising: Health and sustainability attributes are as important as taste.
· 「綠色酒吧」正在上升：健康和可持續性屬性與味道一樣重要。
· Meat-free products, such as 「fishless tuna,」 are already merchandised next to animal proteins.
· 無肉產品，如「無魚金槍魚」，已經在動物蛋白旁邊銷售。
· 「Flexitarian diets」 are based on taste and options.
· 以素食為主偶爾吃點肉的人基於味覺來選擇食物。
Hughes urges the animal ag industry not to underestimate the major forces with a vested interest in reducing animal protein consumption.
休斯敦促動物行業不要低估對減少動物蛋白消耗具有既得利益的主要力量。· Most consumers purchase food based the cuisine they are in the mood for rather than the protein (「Let’s have Chinese」 vs. 「Beef, it’s what’s for dinner」).

The International vegan flag has launched
A team of designers have created a new International vegan flag that shows our love as vegans to the Earth, and our battle to a create better and cleaner world.
How it all began
In 2017 Gad Hakimi, a senior designer in a hi-tech company who graduated from Bezalel Academy of Art and Design, collected materials from many of the vegan associations around the world. Gad examined what form of branding would encompass the entire concept of veganism. The result was clear – we needed a flag.
Speaking to Tivonews, Gad explained how the idea came to him:
“I wanted to give from myself and my abilities to promote veganism. I have created a vegan superhero comic. The one thing I lacked was a flag, which will guide the character, his identity and his colours. I have searched the web for a flag and found nothing, besides a few sketches which were designed unprofessionally and were not promoted. They didn’t follow the basic rules of creating a flag. I have then decided to design a flag by myself, the same way like the rainbow flag of the LGBT movement. The flag will be identified with all the vegans, first as a concept, and then as mainstream.”

Designing the flag
Every important movement in history has a powerful and memorable flag, but until now vegans have only used symbols which can vary from country to country. Gad analysed many guidelines for creating a flag, and on May 16th 2017 he was joined by a fellow activists, who are members of the Vegan Flag Facebook group, to polish the final design.
Originally, some members of the group suggested that animals should be featured on the flag, with red colours featuring prominently in memorial of the slaughtered. However, the group eventually concluded that a vegan flag is not about animals. It’s about humans and animals being equal, and the new direction they took was a flag that shows our love as vegans to the Earth, and our battle to a create better and cleaner world in every aspect.
The International vegan flag is free for use by all
The creators of the International vegan flag have designed the flag as an open source, free enterprise to use and distribute, so everyone who wants to can use it for free as they see fit. From bumper stickers to fridge magnets, tea towels, bath towels, baby clothes, shopping bags, mouse mats and anywhere else your imagination takes you!

The Great News certainly have inspired me to get through some of live's most difficult times of loss, injustice, and despairs. These songs are truly philosophically motivating and encouraging of never be defeated so easily; stand tall in the midst of adversities (correction).人生幾何？譬如朝露，不以成功失敗論英雄。我們是唯一決定貨幣價值的人。慨當以慷，憂思難忘。 何以解憂？ 唯有觀音。 青青子衿，悠悠我心。 但為君故，沉吟至今。

WOW! Veganism in America Has Grown by 600 Percent Since 2014
| by Joe Loria - June 27, 2017 |
WOW! Veganism in America Has Grown by 600 Percent Since 2014
Top Trends in Prepared Foods in 2017, an eye-opening report by research firm Global Data, found that Americans are switching to a vegan diet in record numbers.
The report found that 6 percent of the U.S. population now identifies as vegan, a 600 percent increase from 2014. “Go meat-free” and “ethical eating” were among six key trends explored in the report.
But veganism in the U.S. is more than a trend. In fact, it is part of a global dietary shift away from animal products.
Over the past decade, veganism has seen consistent growth as millennials—the world’s largest generation—purchase their own foods. Concerned about the environment, animal welfare, and their own health, this generation boasts more self-identifying vegetarians than any other, explains The New York Times.
NBC reports that Google searches for "vegan" increased by 33 percent from 2015 to 2016. This is slightly higher than the increase from 2014 to 2015.
What’s more, Mintel recently found the number of vegan products in Australia had increased by 92 percent since 2014, and Lux Research expects plant-based proteins to make up a third of the global protein market by 2054.
Fewer people buying meat, dairy, and eggs is great news for the billions of farmed animals who suffer immensely at factory farms.
Cows, pigs, and chickens raised and killed for food are just as smart and sensitive as the dogs and cats we adore at home. But at factory farms, they’re subjected to unimaginable cruelties: extreme confinement, brutal mutilations, and violent deaths.
Sounds horrifying, right? Watch.

💎「每個人都該為這世界做點事情。這才是錢的意義。」
國際中心／綜合報導
美國一名高齡98歲的男子葛雷默（Russ Gremel），靠著投資股票錢滾錢，把1000美元（3萬元台幣）變成了200萬美元（6000萬元台幣），成了人人稱羨的富翁，不過，令人感動的是，葛雷默不但沒有將財富拿去購買豪宅、名車等奢侈品，反而霸氣地將財產全部捐出去！根據外媒報導，葛雷默認為，民眾總是需要藥物，女性也相當喜愛購買化妝品，於是他在70年前，買進價值1000美元藥品連鎖店Walgreens的股票，並決定長期持有這筆投資，直至今日，他的股票價值已超過200萬美元。
隨著Walgreens的股價不斷增值，葛雷默的財富也日漸豐厚，不過，他沒有因此過著虛華無度的生活，他不但沒有買豪宅、名車等奢侈品，吃飯寧願在家吃燕麥，也不願出門吃大餐，他坦言自己是一個很簡單的人，「我從沒有讓人知道我有這些錢。」最後，他將全部都錢都捐給了非營利機構伊利諾奧杜邦學會，「每個人都該為這世界做點事情。這才是錢的意義。」

🌷消費者越來越不想買肉了
美國近十年來的紅肉年均攝取量下降了15%，有有30%的人口是彈性素食者🌱。而根據GlobalData的全球性研究，有70%的消費者刻意減少買肉，甚至都不買了
❗
70 Percent of Consumers Worldwide Are Cutting Back on Meat and Embracing Veggies!
Meat is quickly losing favor with consumers. In the United States, the annual per capita consumption of red meat has dropped by 15 percent within the past 10 years. Today, about 30 percent of consumers identify as flexitarian, or people who choose to leave meat off their plate more frequently. But this change is happening in more than just the United States. According to a recent study by data and insights firm GlobalData, 70 percent of global consumers are cutting back on meat or avoiding it altogether.
GlobalData’s study revealed more than just the fact that people are consciously avoiding meat — the way they view vegetables and protein are changing, too. According to Nicole Peranick, the director of culinary thought leadership at global retail strategy and service company Daymon, “Thanks to a new focus on flavor, innovative, and exotic vegetable dishes are emerging to dial up craveability.”
What does this mean? Peranick highlights prepackaged cauliflower steak and vegetable noodles, as examples of new, unique ways that retailers are showing consumers how these vegetables, that have often been pushed to the side of our plate, can, in fact, be the focus of our meals. On top of that, more retailers now offer prepackaged plant-based meals that make leaving meat off one’s plate more convenient.
Peranick also highlights how the way we view protein is changing, with increased offerings for plant-based proteins such as pea, hemp, chia, and flax as a cleaner alternative to whey in the space.
GlobalData’s report is just another study that shows the future of food is plant-based. As a result of the growing consumer concern for their health, the health of the planet, and animal welfare, we are seeing a steady decline in the consumption of meat and dairy. As more people choose to leave meat off their plate, consumers are seeking out healthier plant-based meat alternatives and vegetable-centric dishes and retailers are catching on to those trends with innovative, prepackaged options that present vegetables as more than just a side dish.
It’s exciting to hear a global retail strategy and service company encourage retailers to consider expanding their plant-based options, but if you love to cook from home, we highly recommend checking out the Food Monster App. The app is available for both Android and iPhone. With over 8,000 vegan recipes (and over 10 new recipes added daily), you’re going to find something you love!

Vegan Bodybuilders Win 32 Medals at 2017 Fit Games
http://vegnews.com/articles/page.do?pageId=9607&catId=1
By Anna Starostinetskaya | ?? 7, 2017
PlantBuilt vegan bodybuilders break a world record at the 2017 Naturally Fit Games in Austin, TX.
Vegan nonprofit bodybuilding organization PlantBuilt collectively won 32 medals during the 2017 Naturally Fit Games in Austin, TX last Saturday. The games welcomed 1000 total participants—39 of whom included PlantBuilt’s entrants—who were challenged in various fitness events including kettlebell, powerlifting, bodybuilding, Olympic weightlifting, and CrossFit. In addition to winning 32 medals—22 of which were for first place—the vegan team’s own Sara Lee set both the world and American records for kettlebell. PlantBuilt was founded by husband-and-wife team Dani Taylor and Giacomo Marchese in 2013 for the purpose of proving that consuming animal products is not necessary for building muscle. “As long the meat and potatoes crowd exists in strength-based sports,” Marchese tells VegNews, “we will continue to educate and dispel the myths that you need to eat meat to build muscle and strength.” Marchese hopes to add new members to the team in 2019 and compete in a wider variety of sports including Strongman events and Jiu Jitsu. “People may chuckle at the little vegan team in the morning,” Marchese says, “but by the evening, when we have shown what we can do, we have many people asking more about veganism and plant-based lifestyles.” To date, more than 100 athletes—from countries around the world including Singapore, New Zealand, Australia, Canada, Great Britain, and Germany—have competed with the PlantBuilt team and have raised $20,000 to support vegan outreach organizations, non-profits, and farmed animal sanctuaries.

A Brand New Meat-Free Supermarket Chain to Open in Switzerland!
In the past decade, the grocery store landscape has undergone a dramatic transformation. While premade meatless burgers, plant-based meats, and dairy-free options for milks, yogurt, and ice cream were once scarce, thanks to rising consumer demand they have started to take over grocery store aisles. Large-scale grocery store chains such as Whole Foods, Target, and others now have entire shelves and freezers dedicated to their plant-based options — and in one case, a plant-based burger is infiltrating the meat aisle in some grocery stores.
In that light, it’s no wonder why we’re also witnessing what seems to be an increase in the number of grocery stores that only focus on stocking plant-based options. Just last week, one of Switzerland’s largest wholesale and retail companies, Coop Cooperative, opened the first location of their vegetarian and vegan supermarket chain, Karma!
According to VegNews, the shop will feature options for plant-based meats and milks released under their house brand as well as options from other European brands. In addition to that, the supermarket will feature a cafe, grab-and-go options for food, cosmetics, and more.
Karma is joining other completely vegan and vegetarian markets out there, such as Cruelty Free Shop, the world’s largest vegan grocery store, in Australia; GreenBay, London’s first all-vegan grocery store; Food Fight! in Portland, Oregon; as well as Orchard Grocer, Riverdel, andHaymaker’s Corner Store, in NYC.
While grocery stores overall are starting to carry more vegan options, the increase in the number of all-vegan or vegetarian grocery stores is just another sign that the future of food is plant-based!
