Why vegan seafood products are having a moment

Seafood is a staple of diets in this country and around the world, but getting it is problematic. Overfishing is a serious issue in our oceans and fish farms bring a host of health and environmental hazards. Now, some innovative food companies are finding success with a creative substitute for seafood: fish filets and other products made entirely from plants. Michelle Miller reports.

Vegan is the future. Nothing the haters can do to stop it except opening their closed mind.

FYI, I'm a millennial, and I DO think about the reasons for becoming vegan or choosing vegan options (both health and environmental). Why do older generations always find it necessary to pick on us, even when we're doing something good?

Best thing is with weather change increases in our climate; this will be our new normal in the next decades!.

Some of the benefits of eating fish include omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins like as D and B2, is rich in calcium and phosphorus and a great source of minerals like iron, zinc, iodine, magnesium, and potassium. Are they going to include all this into these foods?

How do you get a plant to taste like tuna? SMH

Anyone ever tried salmon made from carrots? It's so easy to make yourselves and by far the most impressive plant based substitute I've ever had.

Very interested in this 'tuna' too. Although I never was a huge fan of the original tuna honestly. Bit like cat food.
