| Growing demand for alternative meat is inspiring a new generation of innovators to bring sustainable solutions to the table. David Yeung, founder and CEO of Hong Kong-based Green Monday, is a pioneer of the plant-based movement who is exporting his company’s green alternatives worldwide with a popular vegan “Spam” called OmniPork and a new line of plant-based seafood. With backing from high-profile figures including director James Cameron, Green Monday’s plant-based meats are now available in 20 countries including the United States. What will it take for plant-based meats to go fully mainstream and, critically, how does it taste? Join us for a special lunch discussion at the Foreign Correspondents’ Club to hear from Yeung and savour a delicious meat-free meal. Moderated by Shibani Mahtani, FCC Correspondent Member and Washington Post Southeast Asia and Hong Kong bureau chief. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
