In the heart of Silicon Valley, people are keeping a pulse on a new product, as techies transition to foodiesAt Vina Enoteca, a restaurant located a few blocks from Stanford University, staff serve up new plant-based proteins.“We had a spike on the pizza with Impossible Meat,” says owner Rocco Scordella.Scordella put products created by the company Impossible Foods on his menu a few years ago. Now, they account for 20 percent of his pizza sales.“I think it’s as close as it can get,” Scordella says. “That’s why I think when a lot of meat eaters taste it they’re like, ‘Oh, wow. This is close to real meat.'"That’s the idea behind Impossible Foods, one of the top plant-based protein companies in the country. The company gave us an all-access inside look at their lab, showing us the science of turning plants into meaty-tasting patties.“The Impossible Burger is made of actually just four really simple categories of ingredients,” Laura Kliman, Impossible Foods senior flavor scientist, says. “We have proteins, our nutrients which generate flavor; we have our binders and we have fat.” They also use the blood red liquid hemoglobin.“Heme is what makes meat taste like meat,” Kliman explains. “It’s an iron containing molecule that is found in every living plant and animal and is essential for life.”This food tech startup was founded by a Stanford University biochemistry professor and a team of scientists back in 2011. After studying meat at the molecular level, they launched Impossible Burger 2.0 in 2014 and the sales have skyrocketed“Since then, we have grown from about 5,000 restaurants in January 2019 to now more than 9,000 restaurants that are serving the Impossible Burger,” Rachel Konrad, Impossible Foods chief communications officer.Those restaurants include some of the biggest fast food franchises in the world.“Just in the past six weeks, you’ve seen Burger King and Little Caesars jump on this trend,” Konrad says. “They’re both rolling out the Impossible Burger and the Impossible Sausage."Impossible Foods hopes to increase that demand by launching in grocery stores later this year.With a starting price point on par with grassfed beef and going down from there.“If we want to make a product that is affordable for many, we need to be using ingredients that are really part of the food chain now,” says David Lipman, Impossible Foods chief science officer.Lipman claims his team’s plant-based foods are better for your health and the environment.“Animal-based agriculture has been possibly the most damaging thing we are doing to the planet,” he says. “We can get the ingredients we need just from the earth at a 20th the amount of space and land, much lower water usage. So, we want to cut out that middle man and make the use of animals and agriculture no longer needed.”Cattle rancher Joe Morris, however, disagrees with those claims. “First of all, they haven’t been around really to understand if that’s true or not,” he says. “Whereas actually beef has been around since people have been people.”Morris’ family’s business T.O. Cattle Company is one of California’s oldest beef companies, dating back to the Gold Rush era. He believes in tradition over technology.“The people that are doing plant-based proteins are doing it with good intentions,” he says. “But there’s a failure to understand the ecology of just ecology and they really don’t know much about agriculture.”Instead, Morris says whatever damage caused by animal agriculture has to be healed by holistic animal agriculture.“The animals are incredible creatures and they do amazing work," he says. "And the results of their work is biodiversity beauty water in the ground. The plant-based proteins, there’s no romance, there’s no beauty there.”When it comes to customers, however, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. “It’s good,” says a man who bought an Impossible Burger from Burger King. “I could hardly tell it wasn’t a regular beef patty.”This customer also tells us that he added bacon to his plant-based protein patty. 4039

LAKELAND, Fla. — While a 10-year-old boy is still recovering after a dangerous fall from a zip line at the Urban Air Adventure Park in September, his mother is warning others. Kimberly Barnes filed a lawsuit against against the company that owns the Lakeland, Florida, facility, UATP Management, on Monday. She says employees were negligent and didn’t fasten her son into the harness on the "Sky Ride" properly. Her legal team also alleges a design flaw with the harness. In a press conference on Tuesday, Barnes and her attorney Steven Capriati, with Morgan and Morgan, addressed the media. The mother recalled when she got the frantic phone call on Sept. 1. “He had fallen, there was a very high fall,” Barnes said. The lawsuit says her son fell more than 20 feet. Video from inside the facility shows the 10-year-old falling into a hard concrete floor. He was airlifted and suffered serious injuries, including several broken ribs, a collapsed lung and head injuries.Two months later, Barnes says her son is still struggling to go to school and fighting for normalcy. “He is doing the best he can he wants to have his normal life back and have his normal routine, but it’s a day by day process for him,” she said.In a 911 call obtained Tuesday, two employees called for help saying the boy had fallen off the zip line and needed an ambulance.Although awake and lucid, the boy can be heard in the background of the call screaming in pain. He's heard complaining of back, foot and head pain.“He is in danger and do not splint any injuries. Reassure him help is on the way,” the dispatcher says. In the lawsuit, Barnes is asking for at least ,000 in compensation to pay for medical expenses and any other ongoing issues her son may deal with.In a statement Urban Air said: 1787

"We are taking deliberate actions to improve."Soltau, who took over last year, previously pledged "quick action" to put JCPenney on the path to profitability. She installed a new management team and on Thursday brought in a new chief merchant from Target.But the picture for JCPenney remains grim: The company said it lost 5 million for the full year.The company plans to close 18 under-performing department stores in 2019, as well as nine home and furniture stores. But it still has more than 800 stores around the country.In a strategy shift, JCPenney recently said it would 1316

In a move widely expected to revive the national media spotlight on hate crime allegations made by "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett, a Chicago judge on Friday announced the appointment of a special prosecutor to investigate how local prosecutors handled the TV actor's case.In announcing his choice of former US Attorney Dan K. Webb as the special prosecutor, Cook County Circuit Court Judge Michael Toomin now gives an independent, experienced trial attorney the authority and time to examine why Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx dropped 16 disorderly conduct charges against Smollett after a high-profile Chicago Police investigation that lasted several weeks using dozens of investigators.Webb will have authority to file new charges, if deemed appropriate, against Smollett following his investigation.The gay black actor claimed in January that he was the victim of a hate-fueled attack, but police in February claimed Smollett staged it.Smollett, 36, was indicted on 16 felony counts but prosecutors 1021
