Episode description

Lauren Joyner is the CEO and Founder of LOCA Foods. LOCA's first product is a plant-based nacho sauce for the 21st century, made from potatoes. Lauren has really done her research to understand what it is about food that we enjoy - what purpose does it serve, in what context is it shared, how does it make us feel? This is such an important mindset for disrupting a broken food system. Understanding what doesn't work, how it got that way, and why we cling to it are essential foundations for building a better product. On this episode, Lauren and I talk about how LOCA is reinventing comfort foods in a way that's better for humans, animals and the planet. We discuss important angles for thinking about nutrition, shelf life, and even dive into the history of America's obsession with cheese.
