"The truth is the planet is running out of resources to feed 8 billion people and, very soon, 10 billion. We have to change, whether we like it or not. So why not better prepare for the future?"
For the latest CNN Marketplace Asia, I talk to Green Monday CEO David Yeung about vegan Spam, plant-based fish, and why we need to take meat off the menu.
Yeung is a pioneer of the plant-based movement who is exporting his company's green alternatives worldwide with a popular vegan "Spam" called OmniPork. With backing from high-profile investors including director James Cameron as well as $70 million in its latest round of financing, Green Monday has introduced 's plant-based meats to 20 countries and has launched a new line of plant-based seafood.
"People are actually very surprised that 73% of global seafood consumption happens in Asia," he tells me. "The problem with the ocean is that we cannot just fish endlessly."
Yeung believes shifting Asia and the world to a more sustainable diet is crucial to our common survival.
