Almost like a midlife crisis … but with plants. Does anyone else ever feel like this? Things are going great until they feel like they suddenly aren’t? That feeling that you want to give up or start chucking things because they don’t feel perfect enough or aren’t thriving like you want … then you remember how much this hobby has costed so far or why you got into it to begin with ? Joy. But I guess I’m just not feeling the joy at the moment, particularly with my indoor plants. Idk if it’s because winter is approaching in my zone or if I’m just feeling off or what. I’m just feeling a little discouraged.
2020 was the year to give the plant-based trend some due recognition, with new products appearing across the market, from pastries to pizza, lattes, and even dirty burgers. The end of the year even saw McDonald’s (MCD) releasing the McPlant menu. Analysts now predict the plant-based food market to grow by 11.90 percent by 2027 and have valued it at $74.2 billion
Health and wellbeing have become the core drivers of this booming industry, with many consumers reassessing what they eat and their impact on the planet. By the summer of 2020, plant-based food sales more than doubled, with consumers putting 14 percent more meat-free and dairy-free options in their baskets. This trend hasn’t slowed down either, that’s partly thanks to the innovation now entering the food and beverage market both within manufacturing and foodservice.
Many new and innovative companies have hopped on this trend and shown considerable success so far. But there’s one in particular I’d like to share with you all based on it’s promising performance and prospective expansion/growth. I’m going to go into depth as to why I consider Else Nutrition a smart investment.
Else Nutrition (BABYF and BABY.V) is a food/nutrition company focused on developing innovative, clean and plant-based products for infants, toddlers, children, and adults. Its revolutionary, plant-based formula is a clean-ingredient alternative to dairy-based formula. From a financial perspective, Else is in good shape, with very encouraging Q2 2021 financials alongside the ticker meeting reaching the defined threshold for up listing to TSX and beyond. After witnessing steady gains since mid-May that featured their break-through of a $3 technical resistance, BABY.V slumped a bit in early July and is making a strong recovery. This can be measured against extremely encouraging financials such as:
Key figures Else Nutrition Holdings Inc. recently reported:
- Q2 financials last month, with revenue of C$1,135 thousand
- 90% growth over revenues of C$598 thousand in Q4 2020
- Increase in revenues of 282% vs. over C$297 thousand in Q1 2020
- 149% growth in quarter-over-quarter Formula revenues of C$862 thousand in Q1 2021 over C$346 thousand in Q4 2020.
So far they have successfully:
- Announcement of it’s FODMAP certification.
- Else Nutrition to expand into Rouses Markets, entry expands brand’s reach to Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama.
- On the PR side, Else has run multiple US marketing celebrity / influencers campaigns
So I work at a record plant as a press operator (I won’t say which one) and I’ve noticed that a lot of the people I work with don’t really care about the product we make. We even had an inspector ask what the blank spaces on them do!
Trying my best to keep the quality up for you guys though! I’ve learned a lot since being there.
I’ve literally never posted on a “fan” subreddit before and I’m using a throwaway because Reddit is the wild wild west. Also before posting such a serious theory, jsyk where I’m coming from: I’m F in my mid 20’s, live in the Northeast, no personal ED experience but some with close friends. I have a bachelors in health comms and took some psych during UG so I’m not an expert but I do feel like I’m well versed enough on these topics. Hate talking about myself but this is a serious “theory” so I think knowing I’m a serious person helps lol.
Ok so Eugenia stuff… you GUYS. Ok first of all if I’m missing something that completely disputes this I apologize for posting like a regurgitated topic here but I combed through a good amount of recent posts and haven’t seen it brought up.
I’m copying this comment I made on an older post and was just going to leave it alone but it kept bothering me it would be in some abyss forever and ever. Because, like you guys, I’ve been watching Eugenia change over the last one-two years and been SO bummed. And then I realized I wasn’t bummed because her ED is bad, obviously it is and I want her to get well so much. But I was like ugh even her content doesn’t have that sparkly glowy feel anymore. And I was like oh yeah, bummer, ed triggered depression will do that. And then I was like ok WAIT as smol as she was before she went to rehab or whatever, even up to her last few videos felt wicked different than the ones now. Like the mermaid one? Bestie looks like she doesn’t wanna be unda da sea anytime soon, clearly not having fun. Ok so follow that line of thought with me for a sec, here’s the rest: ———
I honestly don’t even know where to post this because I’m not a gigantic fan or anything aka I follow Eugenia and have enjoyed her content, never got too invested, but been following long enough to be bummed to see her change. And I was looking thru her feed today and I was like wait she doesn’t rt that much about other stuff & it was the Britney thing annnnd….
Has anyone thrown around the idea that she’s in the same guardianship/conservatorship position??
Couple red flags for me:
• The social media/streams obviously, Britney posts were so normalish that even her closest fans were wicked confused if she was suffering or not and tried to read btwn the lines.
• Yes she has a large streaming audience. As we’ve learned, apparently you can be a HUGE pop star and still be forced to perform against your will for money to suppo
... keep reading on reddit ➡
So someone requested I do an AMA and I think that’s a great idea!
Some background info: As a press operator I operate the presses that actually press the vinyl into playable records! At one point I was the sole person making 7” and 10” records because they use a different press that not everyone knows how to run. I also took Audio Engineering in college and know the entire process from recording to plating and now pressing/ QA and QC!
If you have burning questions let them rip!
