How did an oatmeal mishap turn into a vegan sensation?
In this insightful episode of Plants vs. Meat, Bryan engages with Ernest Swindell, co-founder of Xcel, to discuss the creation and philosophy behind their acclaimed vegan nutrition bars.
Ernest shares the serendipitous origin of Xcel's meal bars, emphasizing their commitment to plant-based, gluten-free ingredients without sacrificing taste. Despite not being vegan, Ernest and his team aim to cater to a wide audience, including those on plant-based diets, by focusing on quality, taste, and nutritional value.
The conversation also explores broader topics such as the environmental impact of meat consumption, ethical considerations in food production, and the importance of dietary diversity and openness to change.
