\\u201cOne percent of the U.S. is vegan, about five percent is vegetarian\\u2026 And so if I\'m thinking about where can I make the most money, it\'s not going after the vegans. And if I\'m thinking about where can I make the greatest impact, getting a plant based person to switch from one plant based burger to another does zip. And so our focus is how can we help people move the needle with those who aren\'t on board yet?\\u201d

David Benzaquen is one of the world\\u2019s leading experts in the plant-based food industry and he\\u2019s the founder of\\xa0Mission: Plant, a holding company advancing the plant-based sector with strategic investments and consulting services.

He has been a part of the plant-based food scene since it really started to take off, and a few months ago he launched an entirely vegan online grocery store called Plant Belly \\u2013 its stocked with all of his (and my) favorite plant-based foods. It\\u2019s absolutely awesome.

David is one of the stars of the plant-based movement and I\\u2019m extremely grateful to him for making it grow.
