These startups are creating the future of food
With growing food shortages, and some estimating that we could even run out of food within the next 10 years, the need for a sustainable solution has never been greater. This crisis has been driven in part by mass meat consumption, with meat easily the most harmful form of food to our planet. The fact that meat takes 75 times more energy to produce than corn demonstrates just how much of a burden it has been on the planet's resources.
This makes the figures behind our levels of meat consumption extremely worrying, with countries like the U.S and Australia consuming meat at astonishing rates—the average American eats a staggering 120 kg of meat each year. That said, it is not just our meat consumption that is to blame; the dairy industry is also leaving a huge energy footprint.
Add to that the health and ethical concerns of our current eating habits, and it is clear that something seriously needs to change in the way we consume food. In the face of this, a number of startups have decided to take the bull by the horns and produce sustainable alternatives to some of the most popular and wasteful foods, that could well be the catalyst for pulling ourselves out of our current mess. From authentic meat alternatives to eggless eggs, here are the startups ushering in the future of food.
Powdered food startups
One way that startups are shaping the future of food is by developing powdered food products, with companies like Huel creating eco-friendly nutritionally complete powdered food alternatives. By simply adding water to the powder, consumers can drink these products like they would a smoothie. Consisting of a mix of protein, carbs and fat, as well as vitamins and minerals, they contain everything needed for a healthy diet.
Powdered food can help cut food waste in a number of ways. Unlike many types of solid food that quickly go off and are then just thrown out, the long shelf life of powdered food products means consumers are much more likely to get through them before this happens. They are also not in danger of being rejected by supermarkets for being the wrong shape or colour, and are significantly more resilient to being damaged in transit. Powdered food products cut waste through their minimal packaging, and save energy by reducing the electricity and gas use needed to cook food.
Consumers have reacted enthusiastically to the launch of these products—Huel have sold over 12+ million meals worldwide, and other powdered food startups have seen similar levels of success. As well as the health and environmental benefits of powdered food alternatives, there are a number of other advantages. Consumers can save substantial time spent on preparing and cooking meals, eradicating the time spent shopping for food, and also minimise the levels of washing up.
Lab meat startups
Despite the constant calls for us to reduce our meat consumption and the increasing number of people in developed countries going vegetarian or vegan, it seems our taste for meat is so ingrained that it will be difficult to break the habit any time soon. Although meat alternatives like soy burgers have been around for decades, they are often criticised for not tasting like the real thing, making the drive to reduce meat consumption an uphill battle.
However, recent years have seen a step up in innovation of creating authentic meat alternatives, spearheaded by a handful of adroit startups. Perhaps the most notable company in the field is the Los Angeles-based Beyond Meat. Launched in 2009, the startup has developed a number of plant-based meat alternatives that have strived to be as authentic as can be, using no artificial ingredients.
The Beyond Burger has proven particularly popular—Leonardo DiCaprio has even recently become an investor—available in around 11,000 stores across the US, and is slated to make its debut in the UK in 2018. Replicating the texture and taste of beef, the burger even 'bleeds' when cooked thanks inclusion of beetroot. It is not only Beyond Meat driving the creation of authentic meat alternatives, with startups like Memphis Meats developing similar products. Hopefully the authenticity of these alternatives may make people think twice about the amount of meat they consume, and perhaps even lead people to a more sustainable long-term vegan diet.
Startups creating eggless eggs
Another way startups are shaping the future of food is through the creation of eggless egg alternatives, such as Follow Your Heart's VeganEgg. Primarily made up of algae flour and protein, it can be used to replace eggs when creating anything from cookies to omelettes. San Francisco based startup Hampton Creek have now taken this even further by pioneering eggless scrambled eggs. Founded in 2011, the company are best known for their vegan mayonnaise products and spent four years working on the eggless scrambled egg recipe. They finally announced in December 2017 that the 'Just Scramble' egg dish would be rolled out in San Francisco restaurant Flore.
According to CNN, "Just Scramble is a light-yellow liquid that congeals like a real egg when exposed to heat," largely made from mung bean protein. Not only can Just Scramble be eaten by itself, but can also be used in baked goods as well as parts of other dishes. Whilst Flore is currently the only outlet publicly selling the product, Hampton Creek founder and CEO Josh Tetrick says it will appear in more US restaurants, grocery stores and fast food chains throughout 2018.
With the planet dogged by food shortages caused by our reckless consumption of its finite resources, the need for sustainable food is more pressing than ever. Luckily, the innovation of startups in creating a range of different eco-friendly food alternatives means the future may not be all doom and gloom.

Quinn Exits-Stage Right
What a show yesterday. In the middle of the celebration for having labored long and hard to give birth to a bill that had so many birth defects that it isn't even clear that the effort was worthwhile, Speaker Quinn walked out from the victory lap because someone called Mike Bloomberg "pharaoh!" How lame is that?
As the WSJ reports: "It was supposed to be a celebratory news conference for New York City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, a moment to herald passage of a living-wage bill she personally helped craft. Instead, in a move that could damage her potential mayoral candidacy, Ms. Quinn abruptly walked out of the City Hall event at the beginning of her remarks after a supporter called Mayor Michael Bloomberg "Pharaoh Bloomberg."
Her reasoning was almost as faulty as the bill itself: "Look, that's not appropriate," Ms. Quinn said, telling the crowd to respect opposing viewpoints and requesting an apology. When no one responded, she raised her right hand and said: "Congratulations on the bill—I'm not going to participate in name-calling."
Please! This was pure theater-orchestrated by juggler Quinn who is trying to straddle support for a union sponsored bill alongside her seven year love affair with the billionaire mayor. All the speaker had to do was to chastise the remarks as inappropriate-and then move on.
But what wasn't said yesterday-and it was obscured by the calculated dramatics from the speaker-is that this bill will only impact around 600 workers a year, at best. And the measure was diluted when the retail workers were kicked to the curb by the Related-loving Quinn. Also obscured was the fact that a living wage had been negotiated in the city's largest development project-Willets Point-only to be sh*t canned by the mayor without any concomitant temper tantrum from the speaker or anyone in organized labor.
This labor requirement was arguably the linchpin of the city council's approval of the redevelopment plan in 2008. As we have pointed out: "Which brings us back to Willets Point. It is unclear whether the current legislation would apply to Willets Point but shouldn't labor and the council be holding Bloomberg to his commitment? Was the Willets Point living wage promise simply a ruse to gain approval of a controversial project? If so, isn't it time for the council to exercise its oversight authority?"
So all of the drama surrounding living wage hides the fact that the legislation is purely symbolic and that any real commitment to struggling workers is absent-either with elected officials or the union that's supposed to champion their cause. That was clear the moment that Bloomberg removed the requirement from the mayor's signature development without a peep from labor or a single council member.

Rugby World Cup 2011 Venues
New Zealand may only be a relatively small country but they are not short of world class rugby venues for the World Cup to be played at, 13 stadiums have been chosen across both Islands to play host to the games with all the major cities set to feature in the tournament. The main hub for the tournament will be centred round Auckland with two stadiums in the city serving as official venues, with the famous Eden Park the focal point of the Rugby World Cup as it plays host to nine games including the Final.
Latest Rugby World Cup 2011 Outright Win Odds
Eden Park has gone through an expensive redevelopment in order to host the Rugby World Cup Final as well as eight other games, it was decided that the stadium would be updated rather than build a new stadium all together. Eden Park will become the first stadium to host two Rugby World Cup Finals when it does so in 2011 having also hosted the 1987 version. Another significant venue for the tournament will be the AMI Stadium in Christchurch; the stadium will host seven matches in total but will be known as Stadium Christchurch due to the IRB's advertising rules during the tournament.
The Forsyth Barr Stadium in Dunedin is currently under construction and due to be finished in the nick of time in August, it will have a 30,500 capacity and will host three matches at the tournament. There is a contingency plan in place if the stadium is not ready in time with Carisbrook on stand-by to step in and host the three matches if needed.
Rugby World Cup 2011 Venues/Capacity
Eden Park - Auckland - 60,000
Stadium Christchurch - Christchurch - 38,628
Wellington Stadium - Wellington - 36,000
Rotorua International Stadium - Rotorua - 34,000

All the latest news from the team at Rare Genomics Institute including patient success stories, research, events and more.
Noah and Alexis Beery are two of the world's first children to have their lives transformed by precision medicine: they have a rare disease that causes irregular levels of serotonin and dopamine, which was diagnosed with genomic sequencing. Their parents, Joe and Retta, are RG board members. The family was invited to the White House for the President's announcement of the Precision Medicine Initiative, a $215 million investment in the President's 2016 Budget. The Precision Medicine Initiative will help support research for medical treatments tailored to specific characteristics of individuals, such as their genetic makeup. Included in the initiative is a new FDA approach for evaluating Next Generation Sequencing technologies — tests that rapidly sequence large segments of a person's DNA, or even their entire genome, and which are conducted by RG's research sites. The Beerys were asked for a short note on the twins' journey with Precision Medicine that President Obama could share with the audience.
Noah and Alexis had suffered from a mysterious illness since birth that caused movement problems, and were initially diagnosed with cerebral palsy. But because Alexis was able to walk in the morning, but by afternoon was unable to sit up or even move her arms, the family suspected a misdiagnosis. After Retta read about a neurological disorder that mimics symptoms of cerebral palsy, Noah and Alexis started taking a Parkinson's drug, Levodopa, which vastly improved their symptoms. However, Alexis later developed severe breathing problems, and Retta turned to genetic sequencing in hopes of finding an explanation for their disease and better treatment. A team of scientists at Baylor University sequenced their genomes and found the mutations that caused their serotonin and dopamine irregularities. Noah and Alexis are now on medication that regulates serotonin and dopamine levels, and are healthy 18-year-olds.
With the announcement of the Precision Medicine Initiative, and the vast reductions in the costs of genetic sequencing, it is becoming easier than ever to seek a diagnosis for rare diseases. If you or someone you know has an undiagnosed disease that may have a genetic cause, RG can help with sequencing. Please see our Process page for further details.
For more information on the President's Precision Medicine Initiative, see the White House Press Release.
If you are interested in learning more about Alexis and Noah's story, they are featured in the Rare Genomics Free E-book.

I swore I wouldn't do it. An ashram is just too woo-woo new agey for me. I don't have or want a guru, baba, or spiritual guide. Brandon is as close as I get to a guru (he's also my fashion advisor). So how did we end up spending 5 days at the Sri Sant Sewa Ashram in Rishikesh?
It's just so boring to stay at a regular hotel. We spent a few nights in an AC room on the south end of Rishikesh in Swargashram. It was perfectly nice, despite the power always going out and rendering the AC useless. The room was 950 rupees (about $21) -- not bad for AC. We figured that we could survive without AC, why not spend less and find a cheaper room?
The Lonely Planet is like our bible. And our bible told us that there were a slew of hotels and ashrams north in Laxman Jhula. We walked there and discovered a little backpacker enclave, good and bad. We checked out the Sri Sant Sewa ashram and they had a basic double room with a fan, private bath, for 300R. A deal! And no waking up early, no compulsory chanting, no hours of yoga. We were in!
The ashram offered yoga classes twice a day for 100 rupees. The first few days it was way to hot. The next day we went shopping for appropriate pants. Another day we completely spaced out on the time. Nope, no yoga for us. Slackers. Oh wait, that's ok, we can be slackers.
A couple of observations. There were fantastic storms here that rolled in and cooled everything down. Perhaps a sign of the oncoming monsoon?
The monkeys freak me out. One day we were walking down the street with a whole group of people when monkeys started to pelt us with nuts. Jerks.
Monkeys and cows are quite prevalent in all the places we've been so far (as well as dogs). And since monkeys and cows are not animals I usually see outside of the zoo or farm, it excites me to see them. I'm freaked out by the monkeys though (rabies!) so I stayed a healthy distance away from this group, who were hanging out on the roof of the building next to our room at the ashram.
We in general have a disdain for other backpackers. Ok, I've publicly admitted it. We've seen more than one person walk around with their money belt over their clothes (what's the point??). Heard another person loudly shouting about her friend jumping in the Ganges with only a bikini on and getting stopped by the police (hello!! try not to piss everyone here off!! bikinis in the holy ganges are a no-no). And good lord... people are carrying massive backpacks. What is in them?
There were also a lot of westerners smoking weed. This was one cafe you could find a group of people "chilling out."
One thing we love is the colorful statues and temples all over the place. Rishikesh is a holy city so religious symbols abounded! This statue of Vishnu (correct me if I'm wrong) as at the entrance of the Laxman Jhula bridge.
so good to catch up on your travels, as I had been wondering about you! Things sound amazing, Ashram and all. I hope you are enjoying your exploring.
this is an statue of lord shiva not lord vishnu!

My visiting cousin introduced me to an amazing artisan jewelry designer that I've become completely obsessed with. You guys are well aware of our love of statement jewelry pieces and that we love highlighting handcrafted accessory designers, like our recent piece on The Artisan Group. And like the pieces from this distinct grouping of artisan jewelry designers, the following Designs by Nadia jewelry pieces are amazingly affordable, even with the beautiful workmanship. This very special collection of handcrafted jewelry boasts the most natural materials, with pieces made from coconut shells, wood, seeds, stones, scrap metals, sea glass, and sea stones. Since each piece is handmade, they are truly one of a kind.
Why is this necklace called coconut drops? Because the stunning hand-painted leaves are made out of the shells of coconuts. We love the pop of, and the variety of colors in this piece. we also love the dramatic length and the fact that the copper can be manipulated to be worn wide or narrow (as seen above). We're not done yet, other great pieces include the artistic Cascading Flowers Leather Neckpiece directly below.
Although these flowers look like wood, they are actually handcrafted out of leather, and painted this rich burgundy hue; and because they are made out of recycled wire, it too can be manipulated by the wearer – wear it to the side or straight forward. Last but certainly not least is the duo-colored Carnival Coconuts Neckpiece, which actually comes with matching earrings (you can select either the red or yellow earrings). This piece is available in many colors, but we love this color combination.
Like the above Coconut Drops Neckpiece, the Carnival Coconuts Neckpiece and Earrings Set is also made out of the hardened coconut shell. Besides the stunning colors, we love how it sits on the neck, its simple yet extraordinary silhouette. well, these are the pieces we're currently obsessing over. Any favorites among our choices?
We were going to highlight the handcrafted accessories items in this post for Valentine's Day but then we realized, these beauties could and should be worn every day, so we decided to highlight them as such because you shouldn't have to wait until Valentine's Day to give or receive a beautiful gift. We once again bring you the unique pieces from the artisans of The Artisan Group, stunning jewelry, and one or two bath products that work very well as gift all year 'round.
Kim Jakum Designs – a sweet necklace with single five-petaled, fine silver flower, accented with a gorgeous 3mm, blue spinel gemstone that sits on a stamped silver bar. Two words come to mind when looking at this piece – sweet, and charming.
Of Nature Designs – this stunning necklace features vintage and recycled materials. We love the pop of turquoise color against the copper, and the addition of the crystal as a pendant.
2 Little P's – love the texture of this uber-romantic Tree Bark Heart Necklace made from precious metal clay and pure fine silver on an oxidized sterling silver ball chain. Since these darling pieces are made by hand, one at a time, no two will feature the same design.
Seth Papac Jewelry – sometimes an androgynous piece sets the right tone for a look. We love this Torn Inside Circle Pendant for this unisex appeal, rugged aesthetic, and modern artistic feel.
Vitrine – we love the elegance and femininity of this Druzy Drop Pendant Necklace and how it adds softness to the textured stone. The eye-catching druzy stone hangs from a lightly textured, 14K goldfilled stick, and delicate gold chain.
Creations Made by Lola – we were introduced to Kumihimo, the ancient Japanese form of braiding materials through pieces like this Queen Of Hearts Kumihimo Bracelet. The bracelet is made with Czech glass crystal beads in shades of red, black, and white, finished with a silver plated swirl clasp or an antique silver toggle clasp.
Olivü 426 – people fall in love every day, so it doesn't have to be Feb 14th to enjoy the benefits of the Falling in Love Gift Box. Make every date night special with this set which includes a massage oil (blended with rose petals), classic lip balm in Cupids Kiss (a blend of strawberries and champagne), and hand-poured goats milk soap.
Dune Jewelry – have you ever been to a beach so beautiful that you wanted to take it with you everywhere you go? Provide your own sand or have Dune do it for you and create a stunning piece like this lovely Silver Plated Sandollar Bracelet, which is set on a spring hinged cuff bracelet, filled with your choice of sand & polished to a final domed finish.
Bizzy Fizz – it may look like dessert, but this cute, heart-shaped, He Love Me fizzy bath treat will make you feel delicious. It is packed with shimmer, rose petals, milk powder, and topped with a real rose bud, just what you need to feel loved, and smell decadent.
Carol Raeburn Jewelry – if you're looking for handcrafted jewelry made with natural gemstones, you'll love this designer. These dainty Golden Amber Earrings boasts natural rainbow moonstone, Baltic Amber, and gold-filled beads and findings.
Karla Wheeler Designs – we love this All You Need is Love copper etched cuff because we can rock it as an everyday piece. To get its unusual look, it's been darkened with liver of sulfur, sanded for contrast and treated with Renaissance Wax to protect the color. A great piece every day of the year.
We continue to be wowed by the talent and passion of the artisans from The Artisan Group. We appreciate the fact that because these pieces are handmade, we can be sure to own beautiful, unique pieces. So if you're in the market for a gift for someone special, whether it be Valentine's day, birthdays, etc, start with these designers.
